New Ibis Bicycles release: the Ripmo AF. An aluminum version of the Ripmo 145.
Fitting a looooooong dropper post
Modern mountain bikes are literally designed around dropper seat posts, and the name of the game has quickly become how to fit the longest possible drop post into your frame. With frames having various possible insertion depths, and with steeper seat angles, the measurements you’ll need to buy the correct post might not be as…
For Her build: my wife’s Ripley LS!
My wife is 5’3” and rides a size small Ibis Ripley LS- and it’s among her most favorite mountain bikes! She’s been riding an Ibis Ripley since 2014, and she’s always loved the bike, as it has a playful, yet confident, feel. Check out the Ripley LS over at Jenson USA: http://bit.ly/2zZvgIn The stock build…
Mojo Ti full bike check!
Alas! I finally got this rad bike onto some ripping singletrack! I might be dating myself here, but when I started riding in the mid 1990s, this type of bike was standard.

Vintage build! My 1995 Mojo Ti!
SCORE! I’ve always wanted to ride a titanium bike, and I’ve always wanted to build a vintage Ibis. So it’s no surprise that when I saw a 1995 Ibis Mojo Ti (Titanium) for sale on my local Craigslist, I went ahead and swooped up that fine piece of knobby history! Once I finished explaining to…
4 adjustments- can life get simpler?
Check out the Fox DPX2 rear shock here at Jenson USA: http://bit.ly/2wtinU8 The Fox Float DPX2 is a great rear shock! It was super interesting installing these shocks simultaneously on both my Ibis Mojo 3 and Ripmo bikes. Not just installing them- but testing them back-to-back on the same trail, too! The Mojo 3 had…
