Check out the Ibis Ripmo AF here: [ Ссылка ], and FYI, anything purchased from that link will directly help support my efforts.
Items mentioned in the video (any purchases will help support me as well):
[ Ссылка ] for an affordable, stout water bottle cage. I can fit about half of my bottles in that cage on my size medium bike.
[ Ссылка ] If you want the sleeker cage that Ibis designs their bikes around, pop over to Ibis’ own website to shop for an Arundel cage. These are not cheap.
[ Ссылка ] The talk of the town is in-frame storage. I don’t really care for in-frame storage. I just wear a fanny pack or backpack, as I don’t bother bringing much if my ride is short enough to only necessitate one bottle. For those of you that want to stash your keys somewhere comfortable while you ride naked, the Pork Chop bag will do the trick.
[ Ссылка ] The Tough casing WTB 2.6 tires help a ton with rockier, looser terrain! These are quite heavy, but the extreme puncture protection is, IMO, VERY worthwhile. These also help raise the bike, adding more clearance, and they provide an even more supple ride. For bike parks, or jumpier riding, the little Maxxis 2.5 or Continental 2.4 tires are great, but for all my desert trips in the winter, I do prefer the WTB 2.6 tires. AFAIK, no other brand beyond WTB makes a dual ply 2.6 tire- all the competition is just single ply.
[ Ссылка ] I actually ran the Marzocchi CR shock STOCK, with no extra volume reduction. This is the FIRST TIME in ages that I’ve ridden a stock Ibis spec and not bottomed out a ton. That said, if you want even more support, this is the kit to get.
[ Ссылка ] There are PLENTY of other affordable trail/enduro bikes available these days. Have a look at the rest of what Jenson USA stocks with this link.
