Send my Ibis back in time (ish)

So… I have this lovely lovely Ibis Mojo titanium that I want to work on. Mad story of acquisition… basically a customer at a shop I worked at gifted it to me!

Anyway, I’ve had it like this for a while and I want to make some changes to make it more me and more suitable for the kind of riding I do.

Previous owner adapted it to hydro disks (really old hope adapter on the back), and added a fox squashy fork. I’m gonna go back to V’s and swap a rigid fork in. Can anyone advise on rigid forks? How do I work out suspension correction/what the original fork might have sized up like?? That’s the most confusing thing in this project I think. Aside from that it’s just sourcing some nice v brakes and maybe a ti seat post for glamour.

The kit is nice. Full XTR, ibis Ti bars and stem and hope ti hubs on mavics.

Help appreciated and suggestions welcome. Thanks!

It definitely looks like the AC on the fork is too tall, as the BB looks to level or above the rear axle.
You probably need something that's supsension corrected for 100 mm max.

Thanks!

Yeah, the geo looks off and so does the ride feel. Looking forward to taking it back to former glory.

I was hoping someone would recommend these. Very decently priced...

I have a pair of those forks. Very good for the money and perfect for my 1999 26" wheeled Kona frame. I did find some minor QC issues with the v-brake pivot bolts, so I would recommend checking the threads on the disc mount if you pick one up.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
