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

I got it directly from Berd via my LBS in Boise. I've only had one short ride on it (it's currently being shipped from Boise to Atlanta so I can test it further). I haven't heard anything bad about Berd CS. I actually have a DT Swiss XCM 1200 (27.5) wheelset I'm shipping to them so they can build it up with Berd spokes.

 

To all the i9 bros, how the hell do you tighten the spokes? I have a set of Enduro S hydras and whenever I use a spoke wrench at the nipple, the entire spoke turns. Nothing to hold it down at the hub so I'm guessing I need to pull the tire, tape, and tension it there?

 

Here’s a good video that shows you how. They are tightened using a hex down at the hub.

Confirmed I'm not crazy, but there is no Hex to hold down on the hub side..

 

I tried responding to this in an intelligent manner but it turned into that scene from Billy Madison where he’s on a game show.

I appreciate the good laugh but I'm telling you I'm not crazy..

 

No you are not crazy. Mine are opposite but I have no idea why.

 

Possible site glitch. Gettem while you can. Ibis at nearly 50% off.

That’s awesome! I’d take the plunge on a ripmo decked out for just under $4k

 

Want, but do not need.

 

Almost a no-brainer for anyone in the market for mid travel bike.

Trying real hard to convince myself to NOT purchase. The Mojo is an off radar kinda bike these days, but I have been really leaning towards trying out a little wheel bike.

 

I thought about it myself, but Ripley isn’t in my size and Ripmo is a lesser arrival. Change my mind

Will we see new IBIS release soon?

 

Pulled the trigger. Selling point was not being able to tension my current i9 wheels

 

Hate to bring down a party but I just had my bike frame stolen today in Idaho Springs, CO. The bike was locked to my bike rack through the wheels but I completely forgot about putting on my bigger lock through the frame. Unfortunately my thru-axles didn't require tools to remove so they just took the bike without the wheels.

If anyone happens to be in the area or in Colorado in general, I would appreciate you keeping an eye out. It is a black and blue Diamondback Release 3 (featured in my profile photo). I'm doing the whole enchilada tomorrow and unfortunately it will have to be on a rental bike.

Edit: here's a better/recent photo

 

Bummer man...

Even worse, the Ibis deal in the posts above yours must have been a site glitch, so you can only get 25% off a new bike now. lol

 

Anybody ever been around Jackson, TN?

I'm going next week for work. Looks like there is a Union College trail right in town. Thinking about taking my bike. I've got one day in town, but a travel day on either side that has some flexibility if there is anything good along the way. Coming out of central KY.



Riding a trail bike - Canyon Neuron 140/130mm. Not big on bike park type riding, mostly techy XC type riding is what I do.

 

West Tennessee is flat AF, God speed

 

You would be better off taking a slight detour to Columbia so you can ride Chickasaw trace.

 

maybe not worth dragging it in the hotel then... I was hoping for some dope suggestions. Way to kill my dreams.

 

Here in East Tennessee don't claim West Tennessee. They're like two different states. This bitch is like 650 miles wide
