Ibis Mojo HDR 650b - Build & Review


Iwan Kemp

Recommended Posts

Even worse is when I realised it wasn't going to be on time I placed a second order and DHL'ed it. CRC made a mistake and sent it using Parcel Force as well! That parcel hasn't even left the UK yet!

My faith is CRC is dwindling fast!

 

The only reaosn for my last order via them was because ProBikeShop didn't have FiveTen VXi Elements in stock.

 

Otherwise for most other things, I use ProBikeShop. Shipping is pricey, but worth it on a large order. Plus it's here in 2-3days.

You can ride my 650b if I can ride yours (in 6 weeks time)...

 

 

You should have ordered a M though...to make my ride super comfy. :)

Strangely I was on a L frame again this weekend and it didnt feel toooo big, so I will be able to take your machine for test run, yes??? ^_^

Should fit... the HDR is 2cm longer on the top tube, and 2mm shorter on reach than your 275... So you should be okay if you shift the saddle forward and down a bit!

It must have quite a slack seat tube angle. The Ibises seem to be about a size smaller than average, going according to the numbers that count the most (reach and stack) so the large Ibis is actually more like a medium.

Yeah, they run a bit short. That's why, at 179cm, I opt for the Large.

Should be "spraying" today or tomorrow...

How long did it take you to mask off all the areas?

I'm a bit confused, maybe I haven't been paying enough attention. :rolleyes:

Are you going to be spraying over the yellow with Black?

If yes, will this not affect the warranty of the frame?

You can peel PlastiDip off, so maybe it wont?

Dont you know that shifting the saddle to affect reach is not acceptable... ;)

Nope. It's an application on top of the existing paintwork, and does not affect the paintwork in any way.

Yep.

 

It's not like he's sanding it down or anything!
