They're a bit higher than normal - check the manual, it's all in there, 36 rear and 33 front if I remember right, normal is 33 and 30. Crank up your suspension too, it's 'out of the box' setting is very soft. I took the front to about 5 turns off hard (wind it right in then take it back 5 full turns) and the back to one click from the firmest. You'll probably find your light is very high too when you're loaded up, the knob to adjust it is right there behind the light and easy to adjust (takes seconds), saves dazzeling folk. You don't need to worry about the beam alignment, these are 'centred', in that they don't shine to the left or right - apparently!

Get youself to the meet in May, you'll be able to pick everyones brains (if they bring them...) for some tip on long haul, and have a laught too....
