Is the rear shock on backwards? It's very hard to reach te rebound adjustment knob. Also, on my roadbike and every other bike i've ridden the front brake is on the left, but on this bike and on my brother's kona stinky it's on the right. At first i thought the levers were just switched, but if i switched them, the "master cycliner" would be pointing down, allowing air to get inot the system.

Your rear shock is on the right way. I guess diamondback didn't really think out their design of that frame too well to accomodate that particular shock! Your levers...um most people prefer the front on the left, it's quite standard. Maybe it was built in Australia or the UK haha

Its a preference. I ride with my front on my right hand side. More control and power.
