Bike Set-Up Tips and Tricks
you care for it properly and don’t over-
ly huck every 50 foot gap you see.
Keep your bike clean and inspect it
often. Although each and every bike
gets tested at the factory for strength,
it never hurts to look at the areas
where the tubes join, where the shocks
and dropouts mount and any other
areas that may receive stress during
usage. Check for loose bearings,
headsets, shocks and forks and such.
Visually inspect the bike before each
ride and also during each cleaning.
Carbon Assembly Compound
This stuff is grease, but with a bunch of
tiny plastic beads added. This increases
friction between components, great
for holding your carbon seat post or
handlebars in place without excessive
clamping force. While grease won’t hurt
any of our seat tubes, carbon assembly
paste works even better. Do not use
the carbon assembly compound when
installing the headset, bottom bracket,
shock, water bottle cage, or anything
that has bearings.
and SL-R is molded carbon. The rear
axle is called a Maxle, and it’s very simi-
lar to the new through axle fork axles.
All mountain bikes (except the older
Mojo SL and 26" Tranny) are designed
to bolt a post–mount standard caliper di-
rectly to the frame for a 160mm rotor or
to a 180mm or 185mm rotor with a post
to post style adapter (The Hakkalügi disc
is a 140mm post mount).
The derailleur hanger for the Mojo HDR,
SL-R and Ripley are different than the
one found on the Mojo Carbon, Mojo
SL, and Tranny. Replacements are
available via your Ibis retailer or the
online Ibis store. Depending on date of
manufacture, the Mojo HD could have
a 135mm or 142mm Maxle, easy to
determine with a measurement.
The Mojo SL-R, HDR and Ripley all have
a 142mm x 12mm Maxle.
Bottlecage
There are two heavy duty Riv–Nut
inserts on the underside of the down
tube of most of our bikes, to allow the
mounting of a bottle cage. We’ve put
them there primarily for a spare water
bottle, a tool kit or for a battery if
you’re night riding.
Please do not attempt to retrieve a
water bottle from this cage location
during riding!
There are extra long socket head
screws provided for your use in these
holes. They are longer than your
average screw. We suggest using a
heavy–duty cage for holding batter-
ies since the lighter weight cages don‘t
seem to hold up to this sort of abuse.
Hakkalügi Disc Brake Set-Up
If using mechanical discs and drop
bar levers, don’t forget to put an
in-line cable adjuster, as drop levers
don’t have adjusters built in. You can
utilize the split cable spacers that
come with the frame on the top tube
triple stops for either disc (hydraulic
hose) or cable housing.
General Frame Information
Care for Carbon
The carbon fiber monocoque frame is
extremely strong, and should provide
years of trouble–free use, provided
