Getting my first real mountain bike

Today I will be picking up a 2018 Trek Pro Caliber 6 in an awesome Roarange color. I will post picks once it is all set up. Very excited to do some off roading

Would one of those side-entry bottle cages work?

Try a shorter bottle. You might want to re-position that front hub quick release lever too before you snag a bush and throw the front wheel. Face it down or back. Great looking bike-I'm envious

I want to buy a new mtb but I think I will wait until they go back to 26 inch wheels.
