Bike Set-Up Tips and Tricks
Mojo / Mojo SL:
The derailleur housing and rear
brake hydraulic hose can be routed
around the opposite side of the
stem. The length of housing be-
tween the rear top-tube stop and
the upper swing arm stop for the
rear derailleur should be kept as
short as possible to keep it from
bowing out and contacting your
leg. We recommend you use a
piece of innertube about 3 cm long,
feeding the rear brake and derail-
leur cables through it just behind
the seat tube as shown. Zip Ties
work well too.
Cable Routing for Mojo HD and SL-R
It’s designed to run full housing to the
rear derailleur. This means that the
housing has no interruptions,
and runs as one continuous piece
from the shifter to the rear derailleur.
The top-tube cable stops work best
with front derailleur or adjustable
height seatpost cables. See page 10
for an illustration of the proper rear
derailleur cable routing. On the Mojo
9 8
HD, if you’re not going to be using
them, remove the cable stops and
screw the Allen head bolt back in
place for a clean look.
Rear Brake Hydraulic Hose Routing
for Mojo HD and SL-R.
The easiest way to get the brake hose
between the main frame and swing-
arm is to feed it through when you dis-
connect the hose to cut down the lines.
If you do not have to cut down the line
the rear caliper can be fed between
the main frame and swingarm without
disconnecting the line. This saves hav-
ing to bleed the brake system.
First, remove the rear shock eye bolt
and move the swingarm to its most
forward position. Then, remove one
set of bolts from the upper link.
(The forward ones where they attach
to the front triangle are easiest.)
At that point the rear caliper should
just fit through the space between
them and on back to its place on the
rear dropout. Keep the line between
the swingarm and the frame as short
as possible or it could get pinched by
the upper link bolt.
HD Cable Guard
We’ve designed a cable bash
guard to protect the cable housing
along the downtube from rocks.
The guard is optional, but should
be used if you are riding in areas
where big rocks might crush or slice
the cable housing. It’s available
in the Ibis store on our website or
through your Ibis retailer. You can
also use this cable guard on the
Mojo and Mojo SL and SL-R. On
the Mojo and Mojo SL, you will
need to secure the upper end of the
guard, as the original Mojos do not
have the upper mounting bolt on
the down tube. We use double-stick
tape for this when mounting the
guard on a Mojo or Mojo SL.
