Iwan Kemp Posted October 25, 2013 Share After much internal debate and tooing and froing, I decided to replace my trusty Mojo SL-R with it's bastard child, the Mojo HDR 650b http://www.ibiscycle...s/mojo_hdr650b/ http://www.ibiscycles.com/images/uploads/bikeGallery/mojo_HDR130b-Ibis7219.jpg For those who are not familiar with the bike it is the follow up to the Mojo HD with some tech borrowed from the SL-R. It is lighter and stiffer than the HD, has better clearance for tyres, XX1 / X01 drivetrains and new gen piggyback shocks. Ordered the frame in Reverse Vitamin-P and in 650b mode. 650b mode? Frame can be run130mm 650b147mm 650b (using different limbo chips and custom tuned Mazocchi)160mm 26"Went with the 130mm 650b as I already have what I need to run it 160mm 26". Will use my RockShox Monarch RC3. This way I have a killer Enduro / Trail / All Mountain slayer in one bike. Perfect.

Local agents either don't have stock of what I want or just plain downright do not carry the model I want. Have gone through Race Face, Loaded, Spank and a couple others, but in the end turned to good ol' faithful CRC for some of it. If all goes well the bike will be build next week. Till then I will post some kit pics.

Guest Omega Man Posted October 25, 2013 Share here we go again, mods please shut this thread down immediately! If you REALLY want to be pissed off ask him where he's going to be riding that Mojo next year from the 27th of July to the 9th of August.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 25, 2013 Share Wheelset:..AM Classic Wide Lightning Interesting choice given that they're an "XC" rim according to AC, but I like the rim itself... 32mm wide. 28mm internal... will suit those HD's very nicely.

Iwan Kemp Posted October 25, 2013 Share Why all this hostility?! So I was thinking, with the day-glow yellow accents on the frame, that maybe I should go in this direction: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bwdEdBSgik8/T5-EkyUdwuI/AAAAAAAACao/QqZFuqaSwoc/s1600/123.jpg But with no 650B option, no 15 TA option and the stem only available in 40mm, it wasn't to be. Maybe the rims will make a comeback on a custom build 26" wheelset for 160mm mode...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 25, 2013 Share Dude - just gimme a shout when you're having her built up, and I'll come and offer some emotional / liquid support and a shoulder to cry on when you squeeze her levers for the first time. Plus - I can get my fiets back at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted October 25, 2013 Share Wheelset:..AM Classic Wide Lightning Interesting choice given that they're an "XC" rim according to AC, but I like the rim itself... 32mm wide. 28mm internal... will suit those HD's very nicely. XC / Enduro rated. XC for their weight, Enduro for their strength and width. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/To-the-Point-Bill-Shook-on-Wheel-Building-and-Wide-Rims.html Considered Spank Oozy, I9, Mavic Enduro, AMC All Mountain like I had on the SL-R or complete custom. Wheels will be the last piece of the puzzle that falls into place. Still have until next week Thu to change my mind 37.3 times per day!

Iwan Kemp Posted October 25, 2013 Share Also considered these, but Omnico didn't even know they existed.http://www.eastoncyc...-5/category/21/ http://www.eastoncycling.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/486x450/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/h/a/haven-wheels-blk_6_1.jpg Then gave these some thought, but I don't think I will be spending that kinda money on a wheel set any time soonhttp://www.sram.com/sram/mountain/products/sram-roam-60-wheelshttp://cdn.sram.com/cdn/farfuture/aY7gRV4O6irAtonyLP4FLQ6fhvisWGcm0i0fMUnxepo/mtime:1376490913/sites/default/files/images/products/wheels/sram_mtb_roam60_frontrear_dynamic_web.jpg Edited October 25, 2013 by The Crow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted October 25, 2013 Share What colour ODI grips?Most likely black... But consideringhttp://www.bikeahead.com/v/vspfiles/photos/ODI56915-2.jpgorhttp://www.alansbmx.com/images/hgod-ln-fluro-horil.jpgorhttp://www.koo-bikes.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/o/d/odi_pro_green.gif It's going to be a "trust me on this one" kinda thing...
