I don't know how to do this on my phone through DM here, but if you give me your mail or something, I can send you pdf file of how to assemble whole Gambler 2020+ frame (bearings, cables etc..) and you should find your answer there

If it's this one, they only mention 2 torque values, for the hanger bolt (1.5Nm) and lower shock bolt (10Nm):

Does someone has a Gambler with 250x75 rear shock? The stock DHX2 (241x76) is a piece of crap and I am looking for a new, economically feasible rear shock. Theoretically It will raise the BB and steepen the HTA. I have a big chunky 29er front wheel at front and +2 degree angleset, so these changes might be even beneficial.

Can anyone give me some feedback..... Im looking at two Gamblers a 2019 720 in a medium and a 2022 tuned medium. Im 5'10 and strictly going to ride these in the park for freeriding fun jump trains berms etc. No racing. Whats the go to have fun version. Am I sizing these guys wrong? If you say the 2022 tuned is the way to go is the new version going to feel smaller than the 2013-2019 versions?

I have 2022 910. I am 170 cm which is something around 5'7 in this dumb measurement and I have Medium size bike and it's just all right on my height. I would go size up if I were you

For anyone wondering or anyone who does not like OEM bashguard like me and would like to have bottom tensioner, with some spacer elaboration, e13 CG2LPA-100 lower guide only, works well

Here is the proof

I bought a Mozartt Mono chainguard. It is designed for enduro bikes, but it works fine on a Gambler.

I am about to make a purchase on a 2018 small Scott Gambler 710. I am 5’2” and I’ve always ridden smalls of every bike I’ve had before (my current DH bike is a small 2017 Giant Glory). When researching, it was hard to find what the standover measurement was, and it said 778mm on two websites, which seems way to high, especially when my giant glory only had a 724mm standover. The newest Scott Gambler 900 size small has a standover of 719mm. Should I just assume the measurement I found of 778mm was wrong for a small?

I also ride a small Gambler (5"7'), and it is def. not a small bike! I even have a 29er front wheel, and use it in the high BB mode, because I always got pedal strikes in low mode. I don't know how people can ride this bike with 26 wheels, it must be a nightmare.

Hello all,

I am looking to get some spare parts for the 2013-2019 Gambler. I need one bolt in the scissor mechnism and i don't seem to be having any luck sourcing it, only found complete bolt kit for 140 eur. Does anyone have any?

For my gambler, I found a complete linkage bolt kit on the internet but in my local bike shop I have been able to order a cheaper one with only the upper parts.
