Hi all just thought id let you know that ive just taken the 2009 Xeon out for a spin a Delamere Forest in the UK and im more than impressed with the bike. Rides well and as soon as id set the forks and shock up to my style then it really was nice ride. Only niggle was the front mech, it began catching on the rear tyre as there was only about 2mm clearance on the 2.35 kenda's that came on the bike, may have to switch to a 2.25, other than that, a problem free ride!!

PS. I run a small fleet of Haro Flightlines and instruct with Kids from troubled backgrounds, If your looking for a good solid HT then I'd also recommend one.

Is the derailleur adjusted properly, sounds like it need to stop a little earlier. :eekster:

Sounds like Trips for Kids that we have out here. :thumbsup:

Yeah I set the indexing up ok its just a little tight, took it for a little harder ride today, nice technical and downhill sections on sandstone and the bike feels really tight, would love Haro to start offering some of the higher spec bikes over here in the UK!!

Update

Bike is still riding great apart from the saddle!!!!!! came down a 2 meter drop off ( about 6ft for our American friends) landed sweet, suspension was great, pulled up and noticed that the saddle had snapped in half !!! no idea how I managed that and for those concerned there was no contact in delicate areas lol
