Congrats! And we'll just take photos of the bike sitting in your living room next to your couch - that's the standard new bike photo anyway you know.

lol, it's laying on my garage after a nice easy ride. Yes I read all the manuals but I'm still confused about where to put air in the rear suspension. I pumped up to 110 in the red tube but what's the other one for?

 

[McGRP01]

Nice bike! How long is that stem?!?!

 

[lilflip#2]

lol thanks, I need to get a new seat anyway and I know it's low but thats because when I test rode it I was in jeans and had them lower it all the way, it could be about an 2 inches higher.

Nice.


(psst, take off the reflectors unless you do road riding at night)

 

[lilflip#2]

yea I know, stickers, reflectors, and bottle will all come off today.

Go to mtbr.com and visit the discussion forums. do a search on shock set up and you'll most likely find your answers.

Also, you can flip the shock into the lower mount holes to get 4.5" of travel vs. 3.5 if you'd like.

See here for what I'm talking about.

Again visit the Iron Horse forum on mtbr.com for all there is to know about the Hollowpoint (more than you'll ever get from the manual) and then some!
