Hello to everyone. Already finished customization in June but forgot to post. Here is my little horse. 17'' 720 Gambler. About 17.2kg or 37.9lbs
I wrote a few questions regarding the new linkage on 18' Gambler frame. Didn't got any right answer will it fit or not. And decided to try on my own. So the answer for those, who also want to ride on new linkage like me - it will fit perfectly! With 9.5x3.0 shock.
Bushings and everything like bolts and stuff, will fit from old linkage of 10.5 shock, which was factory installed on my bike. Also should mention the difference is noticeable! Bike started running a lot smoother, and a lot stiffer at the end of stroke.
Its PERFECT... Tomorrow i'll show my 2015 Gambler. Its new for me, its dream comes true and i can't wait to see it in one piece! ------------------------------

Third pictured explosion that I am seeing... Need to worry about mine, or it happens in overweight cases? (my case is underweight - 57kg )
Nothing to be concerned about. My 2013 gambler is still going strong with my fat ass on it, low-mid 90's fully kitted, and I'm not exactly forgiving in my riding style.
I am riding a Scott Gambler 10 (2013), S size. My height is 5'7.
I was thinking of changing my direct mount stem. The original stem is 45mm/50mm.
Now my friend gave me a Spank stem, 30mm no rise.
Will this make my cockpit too cramped? Because I am riding a S sized bike and for my height the ideal bike size is M.
Should I stick to 45mm/50mm stem or should I try out the Spank stem? Just wanna know if someone has experience with this.
Damn!!! I dunno how you're riding that thing. I'm 5'5" and riding a 2015 size medium and wouldn't mind it being a tad longer. Don't get a shorter stem it will definitely feel cramped.

OK I stick to the original stem size then. At the moment I have no issues riding my bike in the current setup. Used to it already. I didn't purchase this bike new, I got this bike as an exchange, the size was S, the cockpit is a little cramped, but after doing some adjustments it feels OK. Riding on this bike for 1 and half years now.
All though my next bike for sure will be a M size or L size. Unless someone here got a M-L sized frame laying around I wouldn't mind to swap it haha.
Here you can check my thing: https://m.pinkbike.com/u/KosenceBosence/album/Scott-Gambler-2015/ Close to Paul Basagoitia's look but actually better I think. It depends to the light

Nice bike. I still prefer Fox40's over Boxxer's. Boxxer's looks so small compared to Fox40's.
