ASTM CLASSIFICATION

The following information refers to the voluntary regulation ASTM F2043-13 from ASTM International This indication establishes the conditions of use only of the SCOR 4060 frame. The SCOR 4060 frame is classified in category 4. This is a set of conditions for the operation of a bicycle that includes Conditions 1, 2, and 3, or downhill grades on rough trails at speeds less than 40 km/h (25 mph), or both. Jumps are intended to be less than 122cm (48”). However, the use of a bicycle/frame under those conditions depend largely on the rider’s skills. This frame, like every piece of equipment, is not indestructible and has to be used with care. Abusive use will lead to potential failure, injury and/or death.

ANGLE ADJUST HEADSET

Your SCOR 4060 frameset / complete bike is specified with a special headset which offers angle adjustment. If you purchased a complete bike, your bike’s headset is already assembled in LT/slacker or ST/steeper position depending on the model you chose. If you have purchased a frameset then you will have to install the headset cups into the frame. Please for the full assembly overview. Then pick you desired head angle and press the cups accordingly . The lower cup is not round but slightly oval. This should help with cup/frame alignment, but you should be careful to start pressing in the correct position or you may damage your frame permanently. You can run your SCOR 4060 angle adjust headset to your desired setup without restrictions, just remember this has consequences to the overall geometry. Please refer to the geometry chart to understand what you are getting.

Angle adjust headset

Slacker head angle setup
Long Travel setting: Notch facing forward

Steeper head angle setup
Short Travel setting: Notch facing backward

SADDLE CLEARANCE

Please make sure that you have 25mm of clearance between the saddle and the rear tire when the suspension is fully compressed, If this clearance is not respected, rear tire / saddle contact can lead to damaging the aforementioned components. Not respecting this mandatory clearance will disqualify any warranty claim about damage

SETTING REAR SUSPENSION

The SCOR 4060 has been designed for optimal suspension performance with 28/30% SAG at the rear shock. Since the frame can accept either 62.5mm or 57.5mm stroke shocks, please make sure you adjust your SCOR 4060 frame suspension accordingly before using it. For your information, SAG values are the following (measured on the shock):

• Shock stroke 28% SAG 30% SAG
• 62.5mm 17.5mm 19mm
• 57.5mm 16mm 17mm

Flip chip arrangement

There is a «flip chip» located on the shock attachment to the suspension lower link. Please install your shock according to the  Flip chip arrangement here below If you fail following the flip chip arrangement, you may risk some tire rub on the seat tube under full bottom-out of the rear suspension. In order to prevent wrongdoings, we have designed the «huck plate« which protects the structural integrity of the seat tube. If you see evidence of tire rub onto the «huck plate», please stop riding and check your tire dimensions & pressure

• replace the «huck plate» (contact us to get a replacement)

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SCOR 4060 FRAME

Keep your bike clean. For proper operation, best and long-lasting performance, your bike should be clean. Use water with mild soap to carfully wash your bike, and while you are at it you can check for any damage to the frame or components.

Pressure washing
Please avoid cleaning your bike with a pressure washer. Using a pressure washer to clean your bike will push water and dirt in areas where it’s difficult to drain/dry naturally. The extensive use of pressure washer will lead to premature wear of the suspension bearing, pivot axles and the frame itself.
The abuse of pressure washer will void the warranty.

Solvents and cleaning agents
Please do not use solvents or cleaning agents other than mild soap. The use of these products can lead to permanent damage to the frame finish. Keep your bike lubed. Once your bike is clean, you should check and add appropriate lubrication to the following parts of your bike:

• Thru-axle: slight layer of PTFE based grease on the axle and threads
• Chain: a few drops of bicycle specific chain lube will keep your drivetrain running smooth.

WARNING

• Do not use conventional grease inside the seat tube of your SCOR carbon fiber frame.
• This area needs carbon assembly paste which is supplied with your frame (check the small parts box).
• Using conventional grease in the seat tube can lead to permanent seat post slippage.
• Inspect your frame regularly, at least once every month.
• Look for anything that would compromise the operation of the frame like dents, cracks, bumps or loose bolts and/or components.
• The frame must not be used if anything preventing perfect operation is found, and this must remain the case until the appropriate repair or component replacement has been conducted.
• If you ride more than 3 times per week, and/or in adverse conditions such as rain/mud/snow, you should inspect your frame weekly as some parts may wear at a faster pace.
• In general, the components of a bike will wear at a different pace, depending on usage, weather, materials and maintenance cycles.
• If you notice some surface cracking, paint cracking, abnormal surface scratches, abnormal color changing, please stop riding your frame and contact SCOR for advice a potential solution to the problem that is approved by SCOR.
• After an impact or heavy crash, please inspect your frame once you have checked yourself for potential injury.
• Look for some surface cracking, paint cracking, abnormal surface scratches, abnormal color changing.

FAQS

Lower Link flip chip, what does it do?
The LL flip chip varies the BB height by 6mm. In ST position the BB is 6mm lower than in LT position. It is no problem to ride a Short Travel bike in High BB position (LT flip chip). However, riding a Long Travel bike in low BB position (LT) may result in a touching tire against the seat tube and damage the frame. Therefore, it is not recommended (see setting rear suspension guide)

Headset angle adjustement, what does it do?
The two position headset changes the head angle by 1.5°. Notches to the front = slack, notches facing backward = steep.

Want to ride your bike in mullet setup?
Swapping the rear weel to 650b makes two main changes, it lowers the BB and slackens the angles of ST and head tube. For a ST bike, these effects can be compensated by flipping the BB chip to LT so that the BB rises. On a LT bike, the BB chip is already in high position, therefore to higher the BB, the headangle can be turned to «steep» setting (notches backward), HT° will be 64° and the BB will be rised to help ground clearance.
