Owner’s Responsibility and Proper Maintenance

All Ibis Bicycle frames should be periodically checked by an authorized Ibis
dealer for indicators of stress and/or potential failure, including cracks,
deformations, corrosion, paint peeling, dents, and any other indicators of
potential problems, inappropriate use, or abuse.  These are important safety
checks that can help prevent accidents, bodily injury to the rider and shortened
product life of an Ibis frame. This Warranty does not cover malfunctions or
failures caused by delay in bringing a problem or potential problem to the
attention of Ibis or an authorized Ibis dealer.

Other useful information and specifications:

The 

Ripley 

geometry is optimized for 

80mm travel

 forks. It is also fine to use

a longer travel fork, but do so at your own risk as hair loss and weird fetishes
may result. To match the rear suspension, we recommend you set your fork with
an initially active tuning (i.e. plush).

Care and feeding

 of your Ripley frame is simple. Try to prevent major gouges

from marring the powdercoated finish. If you do gouge it, we recommend
enamel from a hobby store as touch up. We can’t provided touch up, because
we apply the paint in powder form and then bake it on.

Specs:

 Bottom Bracket: 73mm English Front Der: 34.9 mm(1 3/8”) top pull

Seat Post Diameter: 31.6 mm

Drop Out Spacing: 135mm
