•GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA GAMBLER •SUSPENSION SETUP
To ensure you get the best possible ride from your SCOTT Gambler, we recommend taking
the time to set up both the front and rear suspension. Your local SCOTT dealer will be able to
assist in the setup of the Gambler. Alternatively more information about this can be found at:
-ridefox.com/fox17/help.php?m=bike&id=1038
-ridefox.com/fox17/help.php?m=bike&id=1039
Please note: Tyre sizes often
vary from brand to brand, when
replacing tyres always ensure the
tyre clearance is adequate at any
place of the wheel rotation.

•ADJUSTABILITY
We recommend you have all major adjustments carried out by your local authorized SCOTT
dealer, but basic maintenance and checks should be done regularly before each ride as
specified in the Quick Start Manual which is supplied with your bike.
Please pay attention to all instructions and torque settings, if you have any doubts please
contact your dealer.
For all adjustments ensure thread-loc and correct torques are observed.
The MY20 SCOTT Gambler is incredibly adjustable and lets you choose
between a 27.5” or 29” wheel size.
There is an option to alter the wheelbase of the MY20 Gambler with the
use of the flip chip on the rear axle, while carrying out this procedure it
is important to move the position of the rear brake calliper to match the
position of the wheel.
For the short chain stay position follow the below setup positions.

•HEIGHT AND PROGRESSION ADJUST
The lower shock mount is adaptable for a high or a low BB height as well as adjusting the
progression. It is recommended that if 27.5” wheels are fitted the flip chip is set in the “High”
position.
For the long chain stay position follow the below setup positions.
Brake mount uses the Front mount holes
(Most rear position)
Flip chip has the axel in the rear position
When fitting the rear axle ensure the groove in the head of the axle meets the dropout
securing nut correctly.
Note: dropout securing bolt 1.5NM
Note: it is normal for the rear derailleur and dropout to have movement and feel loose when
the wheel is not fitted. Do not over tighten the securing bolt to compensate for this, once the
wheel is fitted this movement will disappear.
High settings
Low settings
This flip chip and shock mounting bolts are available separately, lower shock bolt 10NM.
•MAXIMUM SEATPOST INSERTION
Riders must pay attention to the maximum/minimum
seatpost insertion on the Gambler, there is only 15mm
of up and down movement in the seatpost available,
the rider must cut the seatpost to the required
length and always pay attention not to exceed the
recommended height.
Maximum insert 155mm
Minimum 140mm

•CABLE ROUTING
The MY20 Gambler offers internal cable
routing, all these parts are available in one
kit. There are two options for the headtube
cable guides, blank and cabled, both come
suppled in the kit.
The headtube cable guides double as bump
stops for triple clamp forks, while these
will help prevent damage to the frame or
fork in the event of contact it cannot be
guaranteed.
•WARNING
On fork bumpers and bash guards are
never 100% guaranteed to protect
the frame!
Foam tubing is available with SCOTT part number:
277026 - SCO Cable anti-rattle liner 90cm 20
Ensure the all cables are clear of the shock in all suspension positions.
•PIVOT MAINTENANCE
The pivots and bearings on the SCOTT Gambler are easy to maintain.
If you have to change the bearings/bushes or pivots please consult your local SCOTT
dealer for the purchase and fitting of the kit as special tools and procedure is required for
disassembly and reassembly.
To prolong the life of your pivot bearings an external treatment with water repellent after
every bike wash will help repel excess water. We do not recommend heavy grease sprays
