SET-UP GAMBLER
The Set-Up of the rear shock can be easy done within a few minutes.
Please take this time to avoid dangerous riding performance and to get the best out of
your Gambler.
Please make sure that the coil spring on the shock matches to your riding weight
(including your riding gear).
We recommend following coil springs:
Weight
190 mm
(kg)
rear travel
50 - 60
250 x 3.25
60 - 70
300 x 3.25
70 - 80
350 x 3.25
80 - 90
400 x 3.25
For fine tuning the SAG and the corresponding eye-to-eye distance of the shock bolts
you can tighten or release the pretension of the coil spring but please respect the
maximum and minimum spring indications of the shock manufacturer.
The eye-to-eye distance between the shock bolts should be in basic set up 212mm
(40% SAG).
For further details on the shock set-up please follow the indications of the rear shock
manufacturer attached to this bike.

BASIC SET-UP OF REBOUND
"Rebound" describes the speed the shock comes back to its original length after
absorbing an obstacle.
By using the red rebound screw you can adjust the rebound step by step.
Please refer to the following instruction:
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" counter clockwise.
IMPORTANT
After a dismantlement of 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 can be damaged.
IMPORTANT
Note that you have to mount the rear shock always as shown underneath.
Mounting the rear shock in a different position can cause severe damages to the frame,
the linkage levers and the rear shock.
