these can be identified from the stamp on the inner surface of the headset
cup. 
For 0.6° this can be installed at + or – but it is essential that the angle
indication markers on the headset are set opposite to each other, top facing
forward and bottom facing backwards (or vice versa).
The headset assembly must follow the below no matter which bar/stem system is
being used.

Please be aware that the maximum bolt length for the bottle cage on the seat
tube is 10mm. The rivet nuts have closed ends, and using a longer bolt may
result in damage to the frame.
If you are unsure of any of the following steps please take you bike to an Authorised Scott Dealer for assistance. Do not try to undertake the work yourself as this could cause damage to your bike, and may cause an accident if incorrect assembled/dis-assembled or set-up is followed.
Basic Shock Pump Set -Up:
A Scott Shock pump has a special valve head and the following steps should be
followed to make sure the correct pressure is applied.
Please note the air will flow into the hose and gauge when counterchecking the
air pressure. This will give the appearance that the shock has less air
pressure, your shock may need to be adjusted.
Please also note that the indicators of shock pumps have a tolerance of max.
10%.
To access the shock first remove the cover.
Please follow the below steps depending on which shock pump type you have.
5 step or second 3 step.
Attach the upper shock pump head to the shock valve, making sure the lower
part of the pump head stays in the lower position.
Do not screw upwards together.
Then screw the lower pump head upto the base of the upper shock pump head.
Make sure there is no gap between the two shock pump heads. Then pump the air to the required pressure.
Once the required pressure has been reached, unscrew the lower shock pump head first. Making sure the upper part stays in position.
Unscrew the upper shock pump head from the shock valve.
Sag:
-
Make sure before any adjustment is made that your shock and forks are in the open position. To do this press the twinloc upper silver lever twice.
-
With the shock pump attached to the rear shock valve, pump your desired pressure into the shock. Once the pressure is achieved, remove the pump. Then slowly compress and decompress your shock through 20% of its travel 10 times. This will equalize the positive and negative air chambers, if needed add or reduce pressure and repeat.
-
Once your desired pressure is reached sit on your bike in your usual riding position (in your riding gear: if you carry a bag/Hydration-system put it on,) don’t “bounce” the suspension while doing this, use a wall or a friend for support if needed. Do not sit on your bike with the shock pump attached to the bike.
-
Use the markings indicated in the linkage and front triangle to check your sag position. Adjust the pressure as required for your personal sag setting.
-
Recommended Sag is 20% – 25%
Rebound
Rebound describes the speed the shock returns back to its original length
after absorbing an obstacle, setting of this is very important for the
handling and correct function of the bike.
The rebound adjustment lever can be found on the head of the shock.
After the shock pressure/sag is correctly set ride your bike in a safe area
with your riding gear/backpack, etc. While remaining in the saddle, ride you
bike off a drop/kerb of about 10-15 cm.
- If it bounces 1-2 times and settles the set-up is good.
- If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is too fast, turn the knob 1-2 “clicks” clockwise and repeat.
- If there is no bounce the rebound is too slow, turn the knob 1-2 click counter clockwise and repeat.
- Repeat these steps until the desired result is achieved.
Your SCOTT SPARK bike was designed to be used in conjunction with a specific
shock and forks, changing the shock or forks on your bike may cause
poor/unsafe riding characteristics or damage to frame and components, please
consult your SCOTT dealer for any assistance you need, failure to do this may
affect your warranty
SHOCK REMOVAL STEPS
Please take note of the info on each bolt: (tool type & size, plus
torque)
Please remove the rear wheel and crankset before starting this process.
Disconnect the seatstay/linkage pivot, removing the bearing spacers.
Remove the lower shock cover.
Remove the lower shock bolts and disconnect the TC Cable.
Remove the rubber shock bolt cover.

window.
