All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Everyone needs to go in the secret back way into Arches via willow spring road. But I wouldn’t attempt it unless your in a trail rig.

 

Willow spring takes you in to Arches.

 

Oh crap, you are right!! I always get arches and canyonland mixed up.

 

You really won't see canyonlands unless you're making a point of going to see it.

 

I just sold my Mojo3 after four years. I absolutely loved that bike, but wanted to try something new.

Did you have a question about it?

 

It's on my list, looks to be a good bike, just looking for input - good, bad, indifferent. Thanks!!

 

Ibis makes incredible bikes, for sure. I had a really tough time deciding between their Ripley and the Transition Spur as my new shorter-travel toy.

What's your normal level of gnar, and which Mojo are you looking at, specifically? The older Mojo3, older HD's, or the new Mojo4?

 

Nothing crazy. Just fun. This one: https://www.jensonusa.com/Ibis-Mojo-HD5-SLX-M7100-Bike-2020

 

I can attest to the design, function, and support for Ibis, but not the HD series, specifically. Are you considering both 27.5 and 29ers?

Soooo many options in the trail category, so the only thing I can say is that you really can't go wrong these days -- especially with a brand like Ibis.

 

27.5" only. Do appreciate the input.

 

How much would you guys discount keeping the wheels from the Capra. Their $600 from E13.

I found the front wheel for $184 on backcountry the rear is impossible to find. Assume $300. So knock $500 off.

2700 for a capra without wheels?
Seems fair since I’d get to keep the cheap tires and not dismount to recover my cushcores

 

I know you guys are all top end bikers, but something amusing happened this morning. Specialized sent an email announcing the 2021 "regular" Stumpjumper (ok everything below the EVO) is out. I'm talking 27.5 btw. No ST anymore I guess, just the $2200 "alloy" and then the ~$4100 carbon frame, that does look like a lot of bike for the $. So stoked!!

So I am all over it, in stock! By the time I got the color selected and went to pay, they were all gone. WTAF???

 

That’s why people paying retail for used bikes

 

I'd probably knock only $300 off. At the end of the day, you are not going to be able to sell that setup for $500 used.

 

Good point, he may bite on $300 and if he doesn’t then he gets them with bike. Just wondering others opinions.
Thanks

 

The other point too is that you will have to hassle with even more people over the internet to get those wheels sold.

 

Possibly just keep them at that point as spares. Good point though. 300 keep any more off than that they go with bike.

 

Yeah the new stumpies are actually a great value. got myself an evo expert coming!

 

so...as for his 160 vs 170 thing. The base capra's come 160. Mine did. But you can easily bump it up to 170 like the higher end Capra's. I've actually emailed YT about this and they said the base alloy version that I have will accept a 230x65 rear shock to go to 170 rear travel and i just ahve to change the internals of my lyrik for 170.

 

Both the base and comp now use 230x65 rear shocks, do you happen to have a 2019?
