FRONT FORK SET-UP/CHANGE OF FRONT FORK

For the set-up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to
the bike.
We recommend using front forks with a travel between 180 and 203 mm (568mm
fork length), as this will not influence the geometry and alter handling of the bike.

FRONT FORK BUMPER

To avoid damage to the frame from the fork stanchions hitting the downtube in
the event of a crash, the Gambler has alloy brazed fittings on the front end of the
downtube for assembling the bumpers.
Please note that compared to MY13, new fork bumpers have been designed.
MY15 fork bumpers have the same bolts as MY13.
- Right hand side is a fork bumper only
- Left Hand side fork bumper is also an integrated cable guide.
The bumpers can be replaced if needed. You can order them via the SCOTT
distribution with article number:
239532 NEW Fork bumper Gambler '15
In order to replace them please use a 4mm allen key for the M5 bolt and please
respect the maximum tightening torque of 5Nm/44in/lbs.

PIVOT MAINTENANCE

The pivots and bearings on SCOTT Gambler are extremely easy to maintain.
An external treatment with a grease spray after every bike wash is all that is needed.
We do not recommend heavy grease sprays as these leave a film on the parts which
is difficult to remove. We also recommend the same for the chain.
ATTENTION!
We strongly recommend going to your local SCOTT dealer if the swingarm requires
repair or assembly/disassembly in order to avoid injuries and damage caused by
incorrect set-up.
Should you choose to order a bearing service tool kit or a kit with all necessary
bearings, these are available to order at your local SCOTT dealer using the SCOTT
article numbers below. Alternatively, order from a hardware store using the bearing
information in the Geometry/Tech Data section of this manual.
