PIVOT MAINTENANCE
Genius LT can be used with 3 different disc rotor sizes on the rear brake.
The rear disc brake on Genius LT is Postmount (PM) Standard on the left
seatstay and it is possible to use disc rotors with 180, 185 and 200mm diameter.
For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to
the bike.
We recommend using front forks with a travel of 170mm, as this will not
influence the geometry and alter handling of the bike.
For details on the technical length of the recommended forks please refer to the
Tech Info Chart before mentioned.
The pivot and bearings on SCOTT Genius LT are extremely easy to maintain.
An external treatment with a grease spray after every bike wash is all you have
to do. We do not recommend heavy grease sprays since these will leave a film
on the parts which is difficult to remove. We recommend the same for the chain
also.
If you have to change the bearings you can order them included in a service
kit at your local SCOTT dealer or buy them with international parts number as
shown above in the specs list in a hardware store.
In case of a change of the bearings or of the rear swingarm you should contact
your local SCOTT dealer as you need special tools for disassembly and assembly.
Please note that for the assembly of
185 and 200mm rotors you might need
adapters/washers between the PM port
on the frame and the brake calliper.
For 185mm rotor diameter you will
need 2 red anodized spacers that can
be ordered via the SCOTT distribution
with:
For the use of 200mm rotors please use for SRAM/Avid: “+20mm” adaptor
Shimano: F180PP2
