GAMBLER CONCEPT GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA GAMBLER 700/27.5” Gambler 700 is the result of several years of research and development, including input and close collaboration with the riders from the SCOTT/Gstaad DH Team. Our goal was to develop one of the most versatile and durable DH bikes on the market that was also easy to set-up and maintain. Sizes S, M and L Travel 210mm / 8.2’’ Piston stroke 88.9mm / 3.
HEADSET ADJUSTABLE BB HEIGHT All Gambler 700 models are designed for a semi-integrated headset for 1.5” headtubes with a 55mm outer diameter of the headtube. -- New shock chips for MY15. -- Two chips, left and right hand. For details please refer to the following drawing for reference only -- Laser printing on LH side only, see image below. There are several parts manufacturers offering headsets for this dimension of the headtube. -- Upper shock bolt the same as MY13.
BB STANDARDS SET-UP GAMBLER On Gambler 700 the BB standard is PF 104 with a housing width of 104mm and an inner diameter of 41mm for PressFit bearings. The set-up of the rear shock can be easily 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). The basic set up of the shock spring is for size S: 350x3.
BASIC SET-UP OF REBOUND SET-UP OF OTHER SHOCK MODELS “Rebound” describes the speed the shock comes back to its original length after absorbing the impact of an obstacle. 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.
ADJUSTABLE DROP OUT SYSTEM -- New direct mount hanger for Shimano RD in addition to old hanger for SRAM RD. The Gambler 700 offers the possibility to change the drop out hanger in case of damage, but you also can choose between 2 different rear-axle positions which results in 2 different wheelbases.
SWINGARM Main frame - swingarm connection: IMPORTANT! Rear brake: -- Remove shock and check cable routing at full travel. Please secure the cables with cable ties to the designated mounting points. -- Must have a smooth radius from lower DT cable guide to Swingarm cable guide. Rear derailleur: IMPORTANT! For easier installation of Swingarm internal routing, please make sure to push the cable housing from Drop Out end to the front of the swingarm.
FRONT FORK SET-UP/CHANGE OF FRONT FORK PIVOT MAINTENANCE For the set-up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to the bike. 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.
