Hey all, just got my new 2026 Scott Addict 10. Once upon a time (long ago) I was a shop tech at a bike shop, long before disc brakes and electronics were the norm. I have some confidence in my abilities to finish the assembly, but also some trepidation.
What I need a little help with are theses lil doo-dads that came in the small parts bag with some stem and headset bits. I know that I’ve got a FD hanger cover, a headset top bearing cover, a lil stem cover/plug for the (weirdly no longer approved computer mount) and a stem spacer front snap on cable/hose cover.
But What’re the two lil guys with a captive sliding insert? Is it a problem that I don’t know what to do with them?
Ding, ding, ding! Winner! That is exactly it! Google got me to the super helpful Sram doc, looks like they are the “Wedge”
The wedge provides additional support for braze-on mounted front derailleurs. The use of a wedge is strongly recommended as it will enhance shifting function and performance.
Thanks a bunch! I will now continue the assembly and reassess if the FD proves problematic at all.
Yep there an SRAM part, you get 3, one should be fitted behind your front derailleur mount to brace it. You get the choice of 3 so they can fit many different bikes.
I’m looking at an Addict 10, or possibly a Synapse. I just read about the computer mount today - does that mean there’s no out front mount available currently? It’s silly but I really don’t want to go back to the mounts that clamp onto the bar.
Well, sadly thanks to the busy holidays, 2 small children and the wet PNW winter I just finished building it up yesterday. It looks great! But I have yet to test it out on the open roads.
I did however just get some nice intel from Scott about the stem/computer mount issue that has been a big question mark for me. There is a QR code and a pdf on the website about the Syncros ST-R300-AL stem not fitting some of the current computer mounts. Apparently:
“consumers were using a mount from a previous generation stem and it would fit but, at times, cause the handlebars not to clamp correctly”
Evidently there is a new mount (MT-R-211-AL) coming ETA June ‘26.
Wondering how you are liking the Addict 10 after some months now. I’m considering it vs the new Canyon CF-SLX. Concerned the stack height might be a bit much but I am 61 years old! It’s oddly sized because I take a LARGE fram size in nearly all other bikes, but these sizes put me closer to an XL. How does this bike hold speed and how is it off the line? I need to keep up with some racier folks at times so wonder. Also the Syncros Wind wheels, wonder where they fall. Thanks much for any thoughts you have.
Sorry for the very late response, I went through long a long period when I forgot about this forum.
I love this bike, it is the fastest feeling bike I have. The lack of options for the stem due to the 27.2 steertube are a little annoying, but I’ve got it mostly dialed.
To add a little more, the Fulcrum wind wheels feel as good as any mid depth carbon wheel I’ve ridden, can’t say I can notice a difference from the ZIPP 302s I have (except when the bearings are clapped out) other than the Fulcrums are nearly silent. The only thing I miss is the bewildered look of bike path walkers when I coast to alert them to my presence.
As for holding a line or some of your other specific inquiries, I don’t think I’m discerning enough to give you a good read on that.
For me keeping up on fast groups was always limited by my fitness not my bike, much to my chagrin, as I was passed by kids with downtube shifters.
