Another step to my dream build is a 170mm Marzocchi 55 RC3 Ti fork with Cane Creek -1° Angleset. I've decided to go with ZS44 / ZS49 version (S.H.I.S. ZS/44/28.6 - ZS/49/30) and use the straight 1 1/8" steerer, to reduce the bottom stack height.

Coil shock on Ibis Mojo HD
When Ibis Mojo HD was released 3 years ago, there was no coil shock option available, as Ibis stated it was designed completely around an air shock. Shortly after, information about it's coil compatibility started coming and many suspension tuners praised its suspension design qualities making it perfect candidate for a coil. Ibis reacted and added Fox RC4 as a shock option because of it's adjustable progressiveness. So, how to describe Ibis Mojo HD with a coil shock? Perfect.

Frame bearings are the part of your bike that is really easy to forget about and neglect the maintenance. Especially when there are no signs of creaking and your bike appears to behave normally. I did the same, forgot about them on my Ibis Mojo HD for about year and a half, until I checked them during another service job. I found that almost all bearings had dirt instead of lube in them, they moved far from easy and two bearings in the lower link were completely seized. It was time to replace them.

Maxxis High Roller 2,35″ UST failure
Last year, I bought two Maxxis High Roller 2,35" UST tires for my Mojo HD, running them in the rear teamed up with Maxxis Minion DHF 2,35" in the front. The first one started forming bubbles after couple hundred kilometers. I thought it was one bad piece, so I threw it out and replaced it with the second tire.

Bikefest Kálnica 2012
V sobotu ráno sme piati vyrazili na Bikefest do Kálnice. Počasie bolo skvelé, stánkov s bajkami a všetkým, čo k nim patrí neúrekom a v priebehu dňa rástla aj masa ľudí. Čakanie na vlek zozačiatku otravovalo, neskôr keď začali ruky a nohy protestovať padlo celkom vhod. Okrem Paľa si každý užil svoju dávku pádov a ked si Kubo podvečer posedel v sanitke, radšej sme to zabalili.
Postupne sa na nete objavujú galérie z akcie a v jednej som sa už našiel:)
