BUILD Bike Set-Up Tips and Tricks A Note on Routing Ripley LS and Mojo 3 with Top Pull Derailleurs We have made the Ripley LS, and Mojo 3 compatible with the new Shimano side swing front derailleurs. Should you be retrofitting an older style top pull derailleur to any of these frames, it is possible and here’s the recommended routing (Ripley shown, and Mojo 3, would be done similarly). We also recommend you run both the front and rear derailleur housing a little lower between the frame and swingarm to make room for a water bottle cage. 12
Cable Routing Ports Bike Set-Up Tips and Tricks BUILDWe now have plastic ports that play nicerwith your cable housing. They include the A Note for UK/AU/NZ/ZA Folkmost popular ones: single stop and single and Some Motorcycle Riders…port, double port and double port/stop.Parts that will remain metal are single Your brake levers are most likely set upblank, single Di2, double Di2, and single opposite to the rest of the world i.e. frontReverb port. brake on the right-hand side of the handlebars, and rear brake on the left-hand side.There are dozens of possible port/routing combinations on our bikes. For you folks, we recommend you route theFor the latest port availability, go to rear brake line directly from the lever on theour online store and search for port. left-hand side of the handlebar to the left sidehttp://store.ibiscycles.com/categories. of the down tube, attaching it using existingaspx?Keyword=port guides. The line will have a slightly tighter radius than it would otherwise but that is OK. Be sure to leave sufficient line so the handlebars can rotate in the event of a crash. If necessary, use clear adhesive dots to prevent the line rubbing on the headtube. Depending on the configuration of your bike, a second more complicated option may be possible if you’re not using either a front derailleur or internally routed dropper post. Route the rear brake line inside the down tube. The line enters the frame at the port on the top right of the down tube, and exits at the port on the lower left. Walk this DIY path alone, and be prepared to bleed your brakes after the cables are routed. You will also need to use our hydro line port. 13
Bike Set-Up Tips and TricksBUILD Mojo HD4 / Mojo 3 Driveside Cable Routing The Mojo HD4 and Mojo 3 uses our new versatile cable port system for cable routing. We have several port styles available, depending on your drivetrain and dropper configuration.14
Bike Set-Up Tips and Tricks Mojo HD4 / Mojo 3 BUILDNon-Driveside Cable RoutingThe most common set-up these days is a 1X drivetrain with an internally mounted dropper. We spec the Fox Transfer. We generally recommend you run your brake on the exterior, along the left side of the down tube. 15
Bike Set-Up Tips and TricksBUILD Mojo HD4 / Mojo 3 Derailleur Cable Routing A Note on Mojo 3 Routing with Top Pull Derailleurs We have made the Mojo 3 compatible with the new Shimano side swing front derailleurs. Should you be retrofitting an older style top pull derailleur refer to Ripley Routing on page 12.16
Mojo HD4 / Mojo 3 Bike Set-Up Tips and Tricks BUILDDropper Cable Routing A Note on Reverb Dropper Routing The Reverb dropper routing we prefer is not illustrated, but we’ll describe it for you. You need three of our hydro cable stops. Route the Reverb into the left side of the down tube (it’s a single port) using our hydro port. Use two other hydro ports at the bottom left side of the down tube and seattube, and fish the dropper tubing through to the seattube. Connect as normal. If you’re using Shimano’s new side pull front derailleur, route it through the drive side of the down tube and then out at the bottom of the drive side. For top mount front derailleurs use the toptube for entry and exit for the derailleur cable. Note that you have the choice of full housing or interrupted derailleur housing with our versatile port configurations. For droppers that use cable and housing, such as the KS LEV, route the housing according to the illustrations. 17

BUILD Bike Set-Up Tips and Tricks Mojo HD4 Chain Guide For the HD4 we manufacture a removable ISCG 05 mount which mounts on the splines on the drive side of the bottom bracket. Standard procedures apply to mounting an ISCG 05 compatible chain guide or bash guard. If you need an ISCG 05 adapter, it’s available in our online store: http:// store.ibiscycles.com/iscg-05-mount- forhdrhd3-p264.aspx Chain Length To determine the correct chain length: shift into the large chainring and largest cog and let all the air out of your shock (on suspension bikes only, duh). Thread the chain through the gears and derailleurs, compress the suspension all the way to bottom out, and cut the chain at the minimum length needed with the rear derailleur stretched out. 20
