Frequently Asked Questions - Scale 965 SCOTT
What is the recommended tire pressure for the Scott Scale 965?
For trail riding, recommended tire pressure is between 25-35 psi (front) and 30-40 psi (rear). Adjust based on rider weight and terrain. Check tire sidewall for maximum pressure.
How do I adjust the front suspension fork?
Use the air valve on the fork to adjust pressure. Recommended sag is 20-30% of total travel. Refer to fork manual for exact settings. For rebound, turn the adjuster knob near the bottom of the fork.
How often should I clean and lubricate the chain?
Clean and lubricate the chain every 100-200 km or after wet rides. Use a degreaser to clean, then apply bike-specific lubricant to each roller.
What tools are needed for basic maintenance?
Basic tools: Allen keys (4,5,6 mm), chain tool, tire levers, pump, torque wrench, and a multitool. For brakes, bleed kit may be required.
How do I adjust the shifting on the Shimano Deore drivetrain?
Turn the barrel adjuster on the shifters or derailleur. For fine-tuning, shift to middle gears and adjust cable tension. If skipping gears, check derailleur hanger alignment.
What is the maximum weight limit for the Scale 965?
The recommended maximum rider weight is 120 kg (265 lbs) including gear. Exceeding this may damage the frame or components.
How do I bleed the hydraulic disc brakes?
Use a bleed kit compatible with your brake brand (Shimano). Follow the procedure: remove pads, attach bleed cup, pump brake lever, and replace fluid. See brake manual.
What type of lubricant should I use for the chain?
Use a wet lubricant for wet conditions and dry lubricant for dry/dusty conditions. Avoid WD-40 as it is not a proper lubricant.
How do I check for worn brake pads?
Look for grooves on the pad surface. If the pad material is less than 1mm thick, replace them. Squealing or reduced stopping power also indicates wear.
Can I install a dropper post on the Scale 965?
Yes, the frame has internal routing for a dropper post. Ensure the post diameter matches the frame (usually 30.9mm or 31.6mm). Consult dealer for compatibility.
