BASIC SET-UP OF REBOUND
“Rebound” describes the speed the shock comes back to its original length after
absorbing the impact of an obstacle.
The red rebound screw allows you to adjust the rebound easily by following these
instructions:
Ride your bike off a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times it
bounces.
- if it bounces 1-2 times, the set up is good.
- If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is too fast.
Turn the screw 1-2 “clicks” clockwise
- If it does not bounce the rebound is too slow.
Turn the screw 1-2 “clicks” counterclockwise.
IMPORTANT!
Note that you have to
always
mount the rear shock as shown in the diagram.
Mounting the rear shock in a different position may cause severe damage to the
frame, the linkage levers and the rear shock.
IMPORTANT!
When dismantling the rear shock, both fixing bolts should be tightened with a
tightening torque of 35Nm/308in-lbs.
If this is not done correctly the rear shock may become damaged.
SET-UP OF OTHER SHOCK MODELS
SCOTT strongly recommends only using the originally specified shock with the
Gambler bike,
as the shock has been carefully chosen to fit and work perfectly with
this bike.
If you use a different rear shock model than the original shock on the bike, please
avoid potential damage to the frame by checking thoroughly that the shock does not
hit the frame in any position.
Please follow these instructions:
Ensure that the rear shock and its accessory parts do not touch the frame when
mounting or suspending.
To check this, release the air/remove the coil, install the shock and compress the
shock completely.
If the shock touches the frame while doing so, do not use this shock in order to
avoid damage to frame, swingarm or shock.
ADJUSTMENT OF SEATPOST-HEIGHT
IMPORTANT!
The seatpost has to be inserted into the seattube at a minimum of 80mm.
Never use either a seatpost diameter other than 31.6mm or a shim/reducer between
the seatpost and frame.
