Medium Ride Wrap

So, I accidentally ordered the wrong size tailored ride wrap for my Ripmo 2.

I need to sell or return the medium/gloss. There is a 20% plus shipping restock fee.

Does anyone want to buy it from me instead?

Thanks
 
So excited! my thoughts are:
(1) how's the new linkage going to make the EXT feel,
(2) can I get the swap done this weekend with enough time left over for a big ride, and
(3) how am I possibly going to focus on work until I do?!

I am very interested in running a coil on this bike (whenever it finally comes!) so want your opinion how the EXT does. Specifically does it mute/dampen the poppy feeling on this bike?
 
If any of you who actually got your frames/bikes are interested, I have a RideWrap Ripmo V2 complete frame kit, gloss, size medium, and a gloss Fox 36 2021 kit to go with it. I got tired of waiting for Ibis and canceled my order. Willing to let either RideWrap kit go for a bit of a haircut. PM me and we can work something out.
 
Ibis b2b site shows next batch of Rimpos being shipped on 11/15. Anyone know if that batch will be speced with the new 2021 Fox suspension? Or would they already have build kits and just waiting for frames to come in?

I contacted Ibis directly about this and received a response from Scot Nicol, AKA "Chuck Ibis" Founder, Ibis Cycles and this was his response: "... we will be updating our forks. I'm not sure when the switchover will happen. Probably in the next couple of weeks, but that's just a guess."
 
I ordered the V2 as soon as it was technically possible to order on the day of release, but delivery is still anybody's guess. I see Yeti SB130s are in stock locally. Has anyone compared the SB130 to the Ripmo?
 
I got my V2 2 days ago and it has the older Fox rear shock. I was hoping it would come with the 2021, but it did not. I ordered my fork separately and got a 2021 Fox 36.
 
Ripmo V2 Build

Hi Ripmo V2 fans (or wanna-be fans).

I ordered a V2 Feb 20. Of course the original April ship date was pushed back to August. Word is that August deliver is still on track and it's time to finalize some build details.

The basics are:
  • Ripmo V2 Star Destroyer Gray Medium
  • Fox X2 rear shock,
  • Lyrik Ultimate29 DebonAir Charger 2.1 RC2 Fork,
  • Sram X01 Eagle AXS derailleur and controller,
  • Sram X01 Eagle DUB AXS cranks,
  • Code RSC brakes

  • RockShox Reverb AXS 150mm seatpost
  • Crankbrothrers Synthesis E11 Wheelset w/ I9 Hydra hubs

I am 5'-10", 160 lbs, 32" inseam. Dealer advised that the 170mm seatpost would be too long for my height and medium Ripmo. I would like to know if anyone here can verify or debunk that. Also would like to know if the updated Fox Float 36 or 38 Performance fork would be a better choice. I have yet to see any comparative review of the Lyrik to the updated Float 36 or 38 Performance forks.

I would also love to hear from anyone that ordered the Ripmo V2 on or after Feb 20 and has received their bike (or been advised of another delay in delivery)!

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

For reference I'm almost your exact size and am running a 185 Revive on a size Large with no issues. Check the "Dropper Insert" tab on the configuration page and compare to what you currently have.

Thanks tbondu. Where is the "Dropper Insert Tab" located? I do not find it on the Ibis site.

Hi, I have ordered my Ripmo mid February. I got the shipment Information yesterday:thumbsup::thumbsup: Original shipment date was Mid April...

I would also suggest to run the 170mm Post. I am 5'11'' (short legs) and I always ride a 170mm post.

And I would prefer the new 36 Grip2 Fork vs. the Lyrik. Both are very good but I like the compression damping from the Grip2 catridge more.
