Chain length
To get the correct chain length shift
into the large chainring and largest
cog and let all the air out of your
shock. Thread the chain through the
gears and derailleurs, compress the
suspension all the way to bottom
out, and cut the chain at the mini-
mum length needed with the rear
derailleur stretched out.
Tapered Head Tube
The HD and SL-R feature a tapered
headtube that works with new
tapered steerer forks. Known as
mixed tapered, or “ZS44/28.6
| EC49/40” in the Standardized
Headset Identification System.
If you want information about these
standards visit
www.bicycleheadsets.com.
This standard is compatible with both
the Chris King Mixed Tapered and
certain Cane Creek headsets (see our
webstore for the offerings.) If you are
getting a King headset for your HD,
be sure to order the ‘five over’ version.
If you’ve already got a perfectly
usable fork with a traditional 1

steerer tube that you’d like to use,
simply install an adapter that will
make your fork work on the Mojo
HD. Both Chris King and Cane
Creek make adapter style headsets
that will adapt our 1.5 cup to your

fork.
For those who like to experiment with
head angle and changing steering
geometry, Cane Creek now offers a
headset called the AngleSet, which
is compatible with the Mojo HD and
Mojo SL–R. The AngleSet allows you
to adjust the head tube angle of the
bike in

degree increments, from
+1.5˚ to –1.5˚.
Rear Dropouts and Disc Brake
Mounts
The one–piece disc brake boss/non
drive side dropout on the HD and
SL-R is molded carbon. The bosses
are designed to bolt a post–mount
standard caliper directly to the
frame for a 160mm rotor or to a
180mm or 185mm rotor with a post
to post style adapter.
The rear axle is called a Maxle,
and it’s very similar to the new
through axle fork axles.
The derailleur hanger is different
than the one found on the Mojo
Carbon, Mojo SL, and Tranny.
Replacements are available via your
Ibis retailer or in the online Ibis store.
Depending on date of manufacture,
the Mojo HD could have a 135mm
or 142mm Maxle, easy to determine
with a measurement. The Mojo SL-R
has a 142mm x 12mm Maxle.
Tire Clearance
The Mojo HD will fit tires up to
685mm (26.95”) in diameter and
most tires up to 2.5” width. Please
note that there really isn’t much of a
standard for measuring tire width,
so not all 2.5” or smaller tires will
fit. (We’ve found width has little to
do with height.) The rim width will
also affect the fit; wider rims tend
to make the tires a bit larger in
diameter.
Bottlecage
There are two heavy duty Riv–Nut
inserts on the underside of the
down tube of all of the Mojos to
allow the mounting of a bottle
cage. We’ve put it there primar-
ily for a spare water bottle, a tool
kit or for a battery if you’re night
riding.
Please do not attempt to retrieve a
water bottle from this cage location
during riding!
There are extra long socket head
screws provided for you use in
these holes. They are longer than
your average screw. We suggest
using a heavy–duty cage for hold-
ing batteries since the lighter weight
cages don‘t seem to hold up to this
sort of abuse.
