Ibis Mojo HD Custom Build Part 2

2011-01-29T10:45:00.000-08:00

Bruce's Ibis Mojo HD is all buttoned up and on the trail as we speak. Bruce ordered the frame with a DHX Air shock. Here's the rest of it:

Fox Talas 36 160 Kashima Fork
Chris King Mixed Taper Headset
Thomson Elite Stem

Chris King hubs laced to Mavic XM 819 UST rims (alloy nipples and DT Competition spokes)
Maxxis High Roller 2.35 Tires

FULL 2011 Shimano XTR Dyna-sys group (Trail version)

203/185 Shimano XT Rotors
Race Face SIXC Carbon Bar

2011 Shimano XTR XC Pedals
Rock Shox Reverb Seatpost
WTB Rocket V Pro Saddle

Jimmy, our head mechanic and service manager does the custom builds.

Bruce is a happy man. He was kind enough to let us all test ride it, and man this thing is dialed.

Stay tuned for a ride report from Bruce once he gets it back up to BC.

Ibis Tranny Carbon Test

2011-01-28T11:00:00.000-08:00

A customer brought us her Ibis Tranny with a cracked rear triangle. She'd crashed pretty hard on some lava rock; the chain-stay was cracked almost all the way through on 3 sides. She continued to ride the bike for a month with little protest from the bike frame.

Once we'd swapped out her rear triangle (replacement courtesy of the Ibis warranty department), we decided to conduct some 'research' on Ibis' carbon lay-up.

Test #1
Jimmy, our service manager, weighs about a buck-30 dripping wet.

Not a peep out of the frame when he stood on the open end of it.

Test #2
Let's put a little muscle into this. Dave, one of our mechanics, weighs more than Jimmy. Like 70+ lbs more (that was a couple weeks ago--he's been hitting the gym pretty hard since). When The frame protested a little under Dave's weight--a creak, some flex--but didn't snap when he bounced up and down on it.

Test #3
Out came the ball-peen hammer. It took about 30 blows to the cracked area to get it to finally snap. Photos didn't do this test justice, but I think you can imagine how it went down.

What do we take away from this? Even you big boys don't have to worry about riding carbon hard. Santa Cruz is releasing its carbon V-10 downhill race machine this year. If that's not a vote of confidence, I don't know what is.

Bike Shop Porn (or Custom Bike Builds)

2011-01-17T10:00:00.000-08:00

Helping a customer with a custom build offers a certain payoff for us beyond the cash changing hands. We, the sales guys and the mechanics, get to live vicariously through our customers when they want us to work with them to build a custom ride. We help sort out their needs and what will best serve their riding style. We get to geek out with them comparing this part to that one and so on.

Bruce, from Vancouver BC, came to us to build up an Ibis Mojo HD. A sick starting point. He's not sparing any expense along the way. For starters, he rides some gnarly stuff in BC and wanted the extra volume of a DHX Air 5, so he upgraded from the stock Fox RP23. As his bike comes together, we'll continue to share some photos.

Mountain Bike Rentals at The Farm

2011-01-15T10:00:00.000-08:00

In March, we always sell off our rentals. If you didn't already know that, it's a great way to get a deal on a sweet bike.

To get the fleet ready for this sale, we'll shut down the rentals for the month of February. A new rental fleet will be ready to go on March 1. Stay tuned for new models we'll rent--a great way to demo some bikes. Speaking of demos, we're also working on building up some nice demo bikes. Maybe an Ibis Mojo, a full-suspension 29er? Suggestions?

Sandy Ridge Trail Care Day

2011-01-14T18:38:00.001-08:00

Get out and lend a hand with some trail maintenance at one of our favorite trails.

*NEW* for this season is an incentive program: for each work day you attend, you get an entry for a drawing to happen in June for the Sandy Ridge Trail dedication on National Trail Day. Sponsors have contributed some serious bike schwag, details to be announced.

Groupons and Half-Price Tune-ups/Overhauls

2011-01-14T10:00:00.000-08:00

Hey, just a heads-up that our winter overhaul special will wind down at the end of the month. Last chance to get yer bike in here for an inexpensive overhaul before the riding season begins.

If you have a Groupon, get in here and use it before the tune-up prices go back up. We'll still honor the Groupons after 2/1, but it will serve as a $40 credit toward a tune-up.

2011-01-13T12:24:00.000-08:00

So, you may have noticed the recent work going on at The Farm.

Hang out at our new bar (espresso machine to come), watch a video, shoot the shit with the mechanics.

Facelift at the Farm

2010-12-21T10:00:00.000-08:00

The Fat Tire Farm is undergoing a major face-lift this winter.

In the meantime, we're open for business, but please excuse the mess! Make sure to come see our new look in the new year.

(Carpet no more. Spy the new SX Trail?)

Thomson stems, seatposts, and collars.

"90% of all manufacturing processes happen in-house at L.H. Thomson.
American craftsman work everyday and night in Macon Georgia
to produce some of the finest bicycle components in the world."

Light enough for Cross Country or Road. The X4 is absolutely the best combination of strength and weight available. Freeride and downhill riders can run Thomson confidently. It offers precise steering, tracking, and more control while riding.

The Thomson Elite seatpost is the standard by which all other seatposts are judged. Forged clamps, integrally machined head, and an elliptically extruded 7000 series aluminum body have made the Elite and the Setback Elite the industry models for strength, light weight and ease of adjustment.

The Thomson Seatpost Collar has several features that make it distinct. The collar utilizes the Thomson Seatpost bolt, washer and barrel nut combination that has proven to be strong over the years. This fastener combination allows float on both sides of the collar slot ensuring consistent clamping force. The bolt hole angle, height of the collar and offset slot all help create a collar that generates maximum clamping force at only 25 inch pounds of fastener torque.

Great looks, great clamping, long life and no squeaking.

2011 Anthem X 29er

First seen at Sea Otter when Carl Decker used the matte black prototype to win the first race he ever rode it in, it’s no surprise that the Anthem X 29er is now official.

Introduced at the Downieville Classic, the Anthem X 29er’s frame will work with both 2×10 and 3×10 drivetrain options, and it’ll come with Giant’s 29er wheelsets (which, if they’re the same as the ones on the XTC 29er, should be pretty solid) and 100mm of travel front and rear. Claimed frame weight with shock is 5.28lbs (2,395g, including all paint and hardware).-Bike Rumor

2011 Anthem X1

There aren’t any mentioned changes for the 2011 Anthem X 26″ mountain bike other than paint schemes (we’ll update after we get the full bytes from Giant if there’s anything else).

2011 Trance X1

The 2011 Trance X drops 75g from the frame, and it’s head angle is now 0.5º slacker for more stable handling when gravity kicks in. Giant claims the frame is also now 4% stiffer despite the diet.

2011 Reign 0

The 2011 Reign 0 gets 115g lighter and also gets a 0.5º slacker head angle. Giant has put the Powercore press-fit bottom bracket and cable stops for a remote drop seatpost on both the Trance and Reign, too.

New and Improved!

2010-07-01T10:39:00.000-07:00

Lower Sandy Ridge trail re-opens Friday July 2nd!

IMBA has been working in conjunction with the BLM to repair and improve the Sandy Ridge trail. Not only has the trail been repaired from damage caused by rain and heavy use but it has been vastly improved. Expect more flow and better lines in the lower section of the trail!

The upper section remains scheduled to open Tuesday July 20th. Not only will they be adding a 62 foot bridge over the creek crossing but they will also be opening over 3 miles of new singletrack.

Stay tuned for more info and pictures as we get closer to the opening date..

2011 XTR Unveiled!

2010-06-29T10:11:00.000-07:00

10 Speed Is Here.

As suspected, the 2011 Shimano XTR group has gone 2×10…but that isn’t all that’s changed!

Shimano recognized the changing mountain bike landscape, and the new XTR has a host of fresh technologies that let you tune the mix of components to suit your riding style, whether you’re riding trail and all mountain or racing your legs off on the XC circuit. Called “Rider Tuned”, the new parts mix offers different gearing ranges, types of brakes and pedals and settings on the components to tune their performance for the trail in front of you.

The most obvious change is the switch to Dyna-Sys 10 speed in both double and triple crankset options and the sharp edged new look, but there’s so much more to it than meets the eye. From all-new Ice Tech pads and rotors to a completely redesigned shifting mech called VIVID Index, XTR has broadened its reach.

Oh, and it also dropped weight. In its lightest configuration, it drops 200g (!) from the previous generation. In its heaviest, its still 60g lighter. The icing on the cake? All this new technology and lightweight goodness comes at you with no price increase over the previous group. -Bike Rumor

Carbon Nomads in Stock!

Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon from Bike Magazine on Vimeo.

"It seems like barely a year and a half ago we totally revamped our beloved gnarl-hound with updated suspension, geometry and a host of details that saw an entirely new Nomad emerging from where the old Nomad had been - lighter, sleeker, snappier and at the same time tougher. Time flies. It was just a year and a half ago that eight unlucky souls got mangled in the Hellride while claiming first saddle time aboard the new beast. And while the now tried and true aluminum Nomad is still a vital part of our lineup, we decided to splice some carbon fiber into it's DNA and see what happens." -Santa Cruz Website

Please RESPECT this trail closure and TREAD LIGHTLY wherever you ride in the near future-- many of the trails are saturated and prone to damage, due to the recent rain.

Thanks to everyone who made it to the meeting last night to speak up for mountain bike access in Forest Park. If you couldn't make it you can still voice your opinion by clicking here. Comments will only be accepted until May 5th @ 5:00 pm so don't wait!

Showing support for all the options including trail sharing and new trails is great. Mention that you'd like to share Maple trail and you'd like firelane 7 to be open to bikes . Tell your friends and family to give input as well. This is a very important phase in the process.

Thank you for your help.
