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 derail-
leurs, compress the suspension all the
way to bottom out, and cut the chain at
the minimum 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 Identifica-
tion System. This standard is compatible
with both the Chris King IS3 and certain
Cane Creek headsets
(see our webstore for the offerings.)
The Hakkalügi Disc features a tapered
steerer too, with the following S.H.I.S
identification: IS41/IS52. 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.

adapter that will make your fork work on

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 Mojos HD and SL-R.
The AngleSet allows you to adjust the

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 rear axle is called
a Maxle, and it’s very similar to the new
through axle fork axles. All mountain
bikes except the Mojo SL and Tranny are
designed to bolt a post–mount stan-
dard caliper directly to the frame for a
160mm rotor or to a 180mm or 185mm
rotor with a post to post style adapter
(The Hakkalügi disc is a 140mm post
mount).
The derailleur hanger for the Mojo HD,
SL-R, and Tranny are 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.)
