Parts for my SCOTT Genius eRIDE 920 L

[kristian90]

Hi,

I need to replace the chain, cassette and brake pads.

As I can see from the Scott webpage, this should be the original parts:

​

Chain​

Shimano CN-M6100

It doesn't say how many joints there is on the chain.

Cassette​

Shimano CS-M6100 / 10-51T

What to think about when replacing this regarding quality and lifespan?


Someone says SRAM is better, but everything on the bike seems to be Shimano.

Is this the original parts mounted on this bike? I bought it used, it's about 4 years old.

Hi Kristan
The difference between sram and Shimano parts is subjective imo. I use both. There are different levels of quality within each brand however.

Sounds like you’re doing a basic service, so you’re going to need some basic knowledge and a few simple tools. (Ie; Allen keys and a chain break tool.

Brake pads; clean the calliper, rotor and replace the pads with the same compound. Check for rotor wear. Use a breakin procedure for new brake pads.

New chain replacement; use the old chain to measure or count the same number of links. You’ll likely need a chain break tool. Use a new quick link.

Cassette; depending on the wear, you may not need to replace this at this time. (Ie, 3 chains for every cassette).

Check the chainring for excessive wear.
Don’t contaminate the new brake pads or rotor. Only grease and oil things that need oil or grease.

I’m probably missing many steps here so YouTube can be your friend.

Thank you for the fast reply and good tips

Is it possible to determine if my parts is original, like the cassette?
The price varies from 100 EUR to 500 EUR for the cassette.

How can I check the grease and the gearbox / gear drive? Is it possible to open the motor and see if it needs some service or more grease?

You may want to develop or establish a relationship with a local bike shop in your area who is familiar with this brand of bike. I’m assuming your Bosch CX and eMTB is about 4 years old. A dealer who is Bosch certified will be able to help you with updates and likely identify strange noises or sounds that may come from the bike (ie; motor, suspension, excessive wear etc).

A trusted, and good, bike mechanic can quickly determine what is required to get your bike running as best as possible. I wouldn’t recommend opening up your Bosch CX motor. Leave that for the experts. Also you can establish a regular maintenance procedure, either yourself or a LBS.

The Bosch CX is a very good motor …but they can eventually fail. Some maintenance and simple cleaning techniques may give your bike some more “life”.
