[Closed] STW, I present for your delectation, my new Mojo HD140 (picture heavy!! 🙂

Sweeeet

Just picked up from my LBS, off for it's first big ride tomorrow round the Surrey Hills, look out for it if your in the area (I'll be knackered and sweating like a pig, it'll be my first decent ride in months! 😳 Despite this, I suspect I will still be grinning like a loon 😆 ).

I do have a Specialized Command post to fit, but need a shim to arrive before I can do so (thanks Curlie467 🙂 ). Also need to get a black 34T front ring, the silver one stands out too much and it's only 32T, to small really! Need to set the tyres up tubeless as well, waiting on rim strips to do so...

Filth.!

Blimey, where's my shades.

Nice bike, good spec, but colour is just too garish even for me.

That does look very nice, I'm not a fan of the mojo shape but the colour & black patches (was gunna suggest a black SP would have finished it for me) really suits it. Enjoy!
I forget from previous post, are the fork set @ 140 or 160mm?

You'll fit right in tomorrow...

Awesum......stunning.......want one!!

You'll fit right in tomorrow...

ATGNI could well be my middle name at the moment... though thankfully I'm not a middle-aged IT professional 😉

are the fork set @ 140 or 160mm?

standard 160mm BOS Deville... 150mm is what's recommended for the HD140, so she's a little slacker than normal, should be a good thing I think 🙂

Black stem, White forks, Silver post #Fail

Silver post

Is temporary only... it looks gash I know 🙁 , but at least I can go for a ride tomorrow! 🙂

Nice, but a bit of a mish-mash spec... Race Face crank, Easton bars, Point1 Stem...
Atleast match some brands rather than a bit of everything...
Like full Race Face bar, stem, crank combo. Or Easton Haven bits.

Do like the Bos fork and the colour too

very nice, didn't think it was ever going to get finished. Shame you're going to have to divide your time between two new bikes now 😉

If that's the proper dedicated ibis mrp guide, how much was it over here?

You'll fit right in tomorrow...

That's at least 3 in the area in that colour now...

That is...Proper Rude 🙂

Not usually an Ibis Mojo fan but that looks fantastic.

Two things. Firstly, how much does it weigh for a 140mm bike? Secondly, where did you get those Haven carbon bars from?

if that's the proper dedicated ibis mrp guide

Yep, 'tis the Ibis specific G2. I think it was approx £110 or thereabouts... cheaper in the States for sure.

Shame you're going to have to divide your time between two new bikes now 😉

It's a burden and hardship I shall have to bear 😥 8)

Firstly, how much does it weigh for a 140mm bike?

Smack bang on 28lb on the LBS digital professional scales, that's with tubes in but without the Command Post, so it'll probably be just a touch over that in the end. The Ardent's aren't particularly light either... it's really a 160mm bike as well, so a pretty impressive weight!

where did you get those Haven carbon bars from?

Bought off the classifieds, came OEM on a Slayer 70. They seem to be available in the UK now, Merlin and Evans have 'em listed on their sites.

holy mother of dream builds 😯

Silver seatpost looks a bit cheap and nasty. Colour isn't for me. Otherwise pretty sweet though.

is it fun? do you ride it lots in fun places and enjoy? I vote yes!

is it some kinda blingmachine to out bling other people that you keep in the living room and ride once a month. I vote no!

didn't think it was ever going to get finished.

At one point, neither did I! Bloody glad it's all worked out in the end, now to rag it silly over Summer 🙂

is it fun? do you ride it lots in fun places and enjoy? I vote yes!

That's the plan guv, as often and as far as I can... time constraints and work will get in the way, but I'll do the best I can, I promise 🙂

is it some kinda blingmachine to out bling other people

Definitely a blingmachine, 'tis my dream bike in a way, so kind of went all out on it... totally over the top, but I love it and it's making me smile just to look at it, can't wait to hit the trails tomorrow so it can show me my woeful limitations and then we can grow together 🙂

Gorgeous!

You are a nutter with all your bike purchases but we love you for it 😉

although, whoever cut the length of the hoses and cables needs a slap.

Wassup with 'em? 😯

Thats awesome - I'd be so pi55ed off once I'd ridden it because it would be dirty / used but then I couldn't build it and then not ride it.....but then I couldn't ride it 'cus it would get used, but then.....oh the dilemma of it all

ah well psycle, no one's perfect. enjoy da bling! (can I have a go?)

Nice! Like the colour. What size is that?

I'd be so pi55ed off once I'd ridden it because it would be dirty

I'm deliberately not covering it in Helitape, just a few frame patches to prevent rub... that way she's going to pick up riding scars quicker and I'll feel less guilty (the first one or two are going to hurt me though!)

are you joking? ride that ****er into the ground. that's the whole point, enjoy dude! whoo-ha. I wouldn't say no.

enjoy da bling! (can I have a go?)

I shall and you can, if you're ever on a STW ride or down in the Surrey Hills at the same time, no problems 🙂

What size is that?

It's a medium

congratulations, very nice cycle psychle
great parts choice too, especially like the forks, stem and bars (might get some of them myself)
if I see you out on the Surrey Hills tomorrow you'd better ride fast or I'm going to steal it off you

Tsk, mis-matched rotors! 😉

Pity formula changed the design of them, the old ones were far nicer.

It won't be difficult... I was huffing and puffing just on my short 'shakedown/initial brake bedding in' ride around the 'hood this evening, I'm soooo unfit right now! 😳

Pity formula changed the design of them, the old ones were far nicer.

I know, the new ones look cheap and nasty... I think I have an old wavy 180mm for the front to swap over, need to dig through the spares...

Giz a go on ya bike mister! 😀

Saw one of those at Llandegla on Monday and it is indeed an eyeball haemorrhaging thing of beauty. My only concern would be that bling of that magnitude would amplify my lack of mad skillz. Well done sir!

Those hubs are fat and shiny - what are they?

Lovely looking bike by the way!

That is droolworthy. Looks fantastic.

Enjoy!!

lovely - where did the industry nine hubs come from? are jra still building with them?

Thats really quite nice, build is pretty special(and expensive!)

Just needs a posh saddle to complete it 😉

Not a fan of yellow.....but that, that is sweet!

Lush! industry 9 hubs? mmmmm

Wassup with 'em?

if (heaven forbid) you ever have a crash and the bars spin round, the cables will get pulled against the frame and could get pulled out. i thought everyone kept them long enough for that, could be wrong though 😳

There has to be someone with a negative spin on this. It is the way of stw. Otherwise, this is the best bike ever, ever! tick tock...

Lovely machine, but I hope you 'banged their desk' regarding the missing chainrings?

🙄

There has to be someone with a negative spin on this

hardly a negative spin. bloody love the thing, just pointing out something that i would have done differently.

Need more spacers... 🙂

lumme, that is nice.

Hey psychle, who's a happy chappy and, blimey, what an eye-catching beast. 😯

Fantastic looking bike and reckon you'll have no end of fun. 😀

Is that just a double you're running there? Curious about the chain device too, do Ibis guarantee that it will cure chain-suck? Currently having problems with mine so would definitely be interested to hear how you get on.

Enjoy the weekend. 🙂

Nice, but a bit of a mish-mash spec... Race Face crank, Easton bars, Point1 Stem...
Atleast match some brands rather than a bit of everything...

Why? Would rather pick the best bits from each manufacturer/category... I'm quite happy with the 'mish-mash' spec, 'tis unique and all mine 🙂

You are a nutter with all your bike purchases but we love you for it

Awwww, shucks 😳

My only concern would be that bling of that magnitude would amplify my lack of mad skillz

It's a concern for me as well TBH... I foresee a day or two out with Mr Jedi in the not too distant future, need to remember how to get off the ground!!

Those hubs are fat and shiny - what are they?

Industry Nine hubs with Stans Flow rims, direct from Axel Imports (the distributer in the UK). Lovely buzz to them, different to the King buzz, and instant (or near enough) engagement as well.

if (heaven forbid) you ever have a crash and the bars spin round, the cables will get pulled against the frame and could get pulled out. i thought everyone kept them long enough for that, could be wrong though

Could be a fair point... haven't tried a full bar spin yet, they might be a bit short as you rightly point out!

Need more spacers...

30mm is temporary, will probably drop at least one, maybe two... we shall see. Trouble is, you can't have any spacers above the stem, so this is a bit of an issue to work with...

Thanks CG, I'm in love with it right now, fingers crossed our first ride together tomorrow lives up to my expectations (I suspect it will!).

The chainguide is a specific MRP G2 for the Mojo HD, it bolts into the main pivot bolt (which is threaded to accept it). Not sure if it would suit the original Mojo... it's a single 32T ring up front, soon to be a single 34T though.

Trouble is, you can't have any spacers above the stem,

Really?

Why not?

Because there's no topcap, the stem top sits flush with the top of the steerer...

the stem is closed at the top and effectively acts as the top cap

EDIT - what he said

is there an envy smily?

think of the weight saving you'd experience if you got rid of the redundant cable guides on the TT!

That's pretty cool 🙂

And there's me worrying about shelling out on a new hub 😉

Smashing bike.

As an SL owner that looks mint - is the fork owner adjustable to 140 or do you buy as a 140 or 160?

I know it's not on there yet but, out of interest, what's the thinking behind the Command Post rather than a Reverb?

This seems to be a 'dream machine' build and the Reverb seems to be top of the class, no?

nicest bike i've seen on here in a long time psychle

bravo!

That's lovely looking bike and I like it, but I would change the silver seatpost for black to match stem and bars, still a sweet bike.

silver seatpost? been said I hope.

looks nice 🙂

Nice... interested as to what spacer stack (if any), you end up with under the stem...

I did the same as you and settled for 10mm...

Lovely looking bike!

Have fun today 🙂

you are my bike hero

i'd be grinning like a teenage boy swimming in a sea of soapy boobs on a sunny sunday if that was my bike! good call on the seat post and chain-ring changes planned, exactly what i'd do to tidy up the colours too 😀

i want to lick it.

Psychle - is this the Mojo you've been waiting ages for, the one you were having second thoughts about recently?

It is lovely. My Nicolai used to garner all kinds of admiration and longing looks until HeiHei bought his bloody Mojo and now no one even gives the Nic a second look! 😀

Just to manage your expectations but it took HeiHei a little while to get his set up and working well for him so don't be disappointed if after the first ride (or even the first couple of rides) it doesn’t blow you away or you find yourself tripping over stuff you would ordinarily not think about. I can’t quite put my finger on it but there is something about the way the Mojo’s suspension works that makes it quite sensitive to being correctly set up.

This is also especially true of the BOS Devile fork, which seems to be much more firmly damped than other forks. One mistake that I’ve seen is easy to make is to set the fork up with purely a static sag measurement and then end up with a spring rate that’s too soft. The low speed compression damping props the fork up when you’re sat statically on it and so you end up with a very soft spring rate in order to get the static sag right and then end up with a fork that’s way too soft.

Having said that, the first time I tried HeiHei’s in the 140mm setting, it blew me away; and you’ve got the Cane Creek angle set fitted as well so that should make it even more fun DH!

We’ll keep an eye out for you; there are a few Mojo HDs on the Surrey Hills but would be good to see yours out there! We’re out tomorrow morning heading from Peaklake to Winterfold area if you’re around tomorrow as well (me – Nic Helius, HeiHei – VitP Mojo and JPCapel – Turner Five Spot)

It's pornographic.
