User manual SCOTT GAMBLER 2011

[. . . ] 016 GAMBLER 3 ENGLISH 2 2011 SCOTT BIKE OWNERS MANUAL GAMBLER CONCEPT Gambler is the result of 2 years of research and development searching for one of the most versatile and durable FR and DH bikes available on the market, but still easy in set-up and maintenance. Scott's focus was to combine solid construction with optimized kinematics. This respecting the demands of riders concerning geometry, suspension characteristics, low center of gravity and stiffness. [. . . ] By using the red rebound screw you can adjust the rebound step by step. Please refer to the following instruction: GAMBLER 11 ENGLISH Ride your bike off a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times it bounces. 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. 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. 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. 10 2011 SCOTT BIKE OWNERS MANUAL SET-UP OF OTHER SHOCK MODELS Scott strongly recommends using only the originally specified shock with the Gambler bike, as we have chosen carefully both parts for a perfect matching combination. If you want to use a different rear shock model than the one originally on the bike, please make sure that the shock will not in any position hit the frame and cause a damage to the frame. Please follow the instruction below: Please make sure that the rear shock or its accessory parts do not touch the frame when mounting or suspending. For doing so 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 IDS DROP OUT SYSTEM The Gambler offers the possibility not only to change drop out hanger in case of damage, you also can choose between different 3 different drop outs of the Scott IDS (Interchangeable Drop-Out System): Inline you will find on Gambler FR following drop out: Inline on Gambler DH you will find following drop out (10mm longer as FR drop out): GAMBLER ADJUSTMENT OF SEATPOST-HEIGHT IMPORTANT: Theseatposthastobeinsertedintotheseattubeataminimumof80mm.

[. . . ] A complete list of all parts of wear and tear can be found in the next chapter of this manual. In addition, you will find at the end of this manual a protocol for the handing over of the bike which will remain in copy at the SCOTT dealer after acceptance and signature of the consumer. It is obligatory to show this protocol of handing over together with the defective part in case of a warranty claim given that it provides evidence of purchase. [. . . ]
