Isn't that Float R supposed to be on the other way round? or does it not matter?0

I don't think it particularly matters, but that's the right way if the manufacturer's lit is anything to go by. I'd be worried if Iron Horse got it wrong! :shock:
Will be looking to switch over to a shorter stem soon, i reckon 80 mm should sort the steering cos it's feeling a little wonky at the moment (any suggestions for a fix?) hopefully i can bag a nice white one
And i'll be eventually sorting the wheelset out, so this is kind of a work in progress!0 -
Furry muff then. I see no reason why it should make any difference. Think it stood out to me because the bike is a very similar design to my old FS which had the shock mounted in the same place, but the other way round.
Nice bike anyway, and I bet it'll handle loads better when you get the shorter stem fitted.0 -
Yeah i've seen a fair few with the shocks the other way round too, it's why i checked up on it when i first bought the frame. It works though so i ain't complaining!
I am loving this bike at the moment, the magura fork is bloody awesome compared to the mz3s on my old bike, amazed i managed to pick it up so cheap0
