Ibis - Mojo SL

Hi Andrew, thanks for the vote. Yeah the forks I have had them for four years now and only problem I have had is when I got some silica (or sand type stuff) on the fork stanchions, it must have scored the stanchions and I started to find I was loosing air pressure. Not really the forks fault.I got the forks repaired by Pace (who originally made the forks before selling the design to DT Swiss) and they have been faultless since. These forks have had very good reviews in the past and the ride very well. It's handy having the lockout for when you need to climb and they soak up the bumps and jumps very well. My bike is setup for AM and they can handle this sort of terrain no probs. Hope this helps :)

Cheers fatbiker in hindsight I would probably agree and change the forks, have to say I haven't had a prob with the rear shock though. But if I was changing one I would change both to keep it the same :)

Hi

Yeah the bike is made from carbon. The forks are Pace RC 41 Fighters, they are designed like that and are the correct way round lol.

Thanks for the vote

Hi John

Thanks for the vote.....yeah my Mojo is a sweet ride. I feel very lucky indeed to have been able to get her. When I could no longer drive my car due to having an above knee amputation I decided to go for a top end bike, the Mojo was getting great reviews so I set my heart on one. I then got her and had to re -learn to ride, which I can tell you with one leg was quite hard. I'm now happy to say I'm burning up the trails and having lots of fun.

Hi antop34... thanks for rating my bike and the well wishes. Brian Bartlett has contacted me so hopefully soon I will be able to get to do what I really want, which is freestyle & a bit of down hill.

If I can scrape the money together for another bike I think it would be a choice between an Iron Horse Sunday or a favourite of mine a Nicolai Helius FR.... :)

Thanks Jim... I would love some DT Swiss carbon rims, but at £1900 I think they are a little steep. I have just under £5k in the bike as it is and omg!!! the first scratch was like Noooooooo!!! lol...never mind thats what a mountain bikes for. I have already had 3 saddles in 4 months as the socket on my prosthetic leg keeps catching and tearing holes in them. I now have a brand new £4k limb thats carbon fibre too. I'm doing some R&D for Pace rehabilitation and also testing out an unreleased in the UK liner for Ossur. Just need a Brian bartlett knee now and I'll be set :)

Cool, hope to see you out there one day.

Cheers ginjafro, yeah I'm just happy to be able to get back to riding after 13 years of illness. It's so cool getting out and about and meeting different people on the trails. I've just got a new uber cool carbon fibre socket, so of to test it on Tuesday in some forest or another. Thanks for the kind words, it's great to know there are encouraging people out there, it drives me on to inspire other disabled people and let them see what can be done with a bit of hard work and effort :)

Thanks baldyboy. Yeah she sure is a sweet ride, love her to bits. I had to sell my car when i had my leg amputated coz i couldn't drive it anymore. I then went out and bought my Mojo, specced her up and had to wait almost a year as the SL hadn't come out. Well worth the wait, oh and cost. Mine weighs 26lb at the moment, built her to take a bit of everything. The WTF version tips the scales at 22lb. Thanks for rating her :)
