i was asking what kinda things went wrong with a mojo hd... having sold 11 frames in the past 6 months and not having one problem with any of them, taking abuse from a few of the best riders in the lakes..

(also sold 3 slr's and no problems to report yet)

2 friends had spicy's and had a few substantial issues one of the guys cracking 2 frames at the welds around the bottom brackets

I have sold a ton of the Mojo HD and have not had any issues that I can attribute to it being the Mojo. Issues have been the parts installed on the bikes, not the bikes themselves.

my bad dude, i was under the impression we we`re talkin about full builds. my friends was bought fully built. just spoke 2 him n he informs me that the foam grips lasted weeks, the wheelsets spokes were always coming loose, a bearing issue and rear creakin from the carbon frame which is on going??? I dont doubt 4 1 second that the HD is an awesome bike, i think there a lovely lookin thing 2. Maybe he`s just been unlucky? I mean, even ferrari`s break down n have issues sometimes. As 4 the comment `different league to a spicy` i beg 2 differ. Im pretty sure theres nothing you can do on your HD that i cant do on my spicy. The only `difference in league` im seeing is in price. HD £5000 to Spicy 516 £2900! Peace.x.

That's fine, just I regularly visit the ibis dealers (2pure) and there's hardly ever any returns... Bar crankbrothers crap I wish they wouldn't put on bikes, give me his contact and I'm sure we can sort something out for him in regards to the creaking frame.. But without riding one for more than a car park you won't see the difference..

ive ridden his. like i say `there an awesome bike` just dont think there £2000 more awesome. I`ll bell him 2moro n tell him we`ve spoke & see whats being done about it. Then in turn if he wants me 2 give u his number i`ll b sure 2 pass it on. cheers.

Its funny he doesn't like the grips. Locally most guys go crazy for them, and it is hard to find an exact replacement. Foam grips are not my cup, but hard to argue with customers. My personal favourites are the Swayze grips from Sensus.

As for the creaking frame, I would have that checked out none of the ones I have sold had an issue with that. As for loose spoke tension that sounds like bad luck. We had 1 wheel set on a bike last year that had bad tension out of the box, the rest where good. Previous years never had an issue.

Yeti SB 66

Awesome!!! I love my bike so much, it goes up hill like nothing else iv ever ridden and it comes back down again like a bat out of hell....

And it works great on the road!!

Mine it built with a kind of freeride/down hill kind of vibe so it comes in at around 33lbs but it works so well that it doesn't really notice that much....

Always work getting your bum on a seat tho if you can.... Trying the bike is always the key, what's right for one person is not always right for another!!!

by far the best comment yet. `whats right for one person is not always right for another` +1. Its all about personal preference the end of the day n what suits you. Beer
