got my 853!

so i got my 853 hardtail today! expect lots of questions comming soon, as soon as i start having to maintain it... hehe...

so i was trying to fix the dampening and the pressure in the fork, but i guess i shouldn't use a tire pressure gauge nemore... i think i might have loss too much air, and then i tried to put some back in with a pump, but that didn't work... i'm so sadd to you guys huh. just remember, [noobie here].. but i'm ready to learn.

so with that, i'm gonna have to ride over to an open LBS tmrw to get a fork pump with pressure guage. then i'm gonna go for a test ride with picS! ))
