Why are you running a chainguide with XX1? I ride a lot of high speed chunder and the XX1 kills it without anything else.

Just a matter of confidence, I used the XX1 many rides also and never los a chain in or out. Like 10 year using a guide is hard to jump to nothing in one jajaja I live my XX1 also

On another note, how do you like the Igniter as rear tire?

Not gonna run another Igniter. For three reasons:

1 - on the Flow EX rims the profile is far too square. I've got the Igniter 2.35, but with the wider rim it just looks nearly flat. Those side knobs dig in on a shallow lean, but the break point is pretty severe and hard to recover from.

2 - This igniter failed in the same way another did. A not too impressive rock cut a hole right at the base of a knob mid way between the center and edge knobs. The first time this happened I was in an area known for sharp rocks. This time was at the bike park and there really wasn't much to cause the cut. It was odd and surprising. A tube fixed it but I've still lost a bit of confidence in this tire...

3 - Traction seems to be mediocre. This may or may not have anything to do with the wider rim, but I've slipped out a number of times already doing a slow crawl up rock. That's not an issue I've had with other tires until they get a lot more wear on them.

I'm going DHR II next and thinking I'll get a bit more bite from that and a bit better profile.

Thx for the response; bummer to hear this though b/c I recently picked one of these up after I destroyed my Spec Purgatory in the rear.

I'm running a Hans Dampf in the front and this has become my reliable, go-to front tire, but still haven't found it's equal in the rear - I'm currently trying out a Conti Mountain King and it's pretty good -it has been durable, but it doesn't seem to maintain traction really well at high speeds through berms & cornering - pretty good for technical stuff so far though

Nice ride! Did you weight it? Thinking it will be light with the wheels and XX1.

Not sure what compound you're Ignitor is but non Lust are pretty thin, ok tire, not my fav in a Maxxis range, for Enduro or regular rides my fav is still the Larsen 2.35 rear, currently run an Ardent 2.25 I like this tire but imo its too tall, I prefer the lower profile of a Larsen, Minion.

Im still trying to decide on the HR2 up front whether I like it or not, been running it a few months now super good Im real picky though, Minion on front is always my bench mark, Minion definitely initiates the turn quicker something Ive liked in the past, the HR 2 is in between the older HR and Minion, it tracks what line you pick, just a little more technique required in lean for me, again could just be me, I always found this with the orig HR 2.

For any bike park terrain it tends to different to natural terrain even if clear bikepark trails have no give, Id always run a 2 ply or bigger volume 2.4/2.5 front n rear, but thats me.

Just my thoughts experience anyways.

Schwalbe seem to being great things right now too.

There is a whole thread on here about CCDB on the HD.

Well, after more than 7 months waiting to make a decision, finally my dream has turned into reality and here is the evidence:

Instead of getting a complete bike, I have decided to built it step by step. At present, I only have the frame with the shock, the fork (2014 Fox Float 36 RC2) and the pedals (Canfield Brothers Crampon Ultimate).

I wish built the bike as soon as possible, ride it, and of course, submit pics in the Mojo HD action thread!!!

When I get the rest of components, I'll inform you too!!!

:thumbsup:

 

[hkbugs]

just changed everything to sram.
very very impressed with the new tyres, ardent 27.5x2.25 fit very well to mojo HD frame, shock can nearly use the full travel. running tubeless @25psi. now its 26.6lbs

 

[Kerberos]

after more than 7 months waiting to make a decision...

Would you mind to tell us the frame size so that we can close that file?

 

[Lobanovskyy]

Because of the language I don't understand your question very well (I don't speak English very well) but in any case, I confirm that I have got Large size.

I decided it because I tested a Large Mojo HD again and I felt it better than the first time.

 

[Maverick005]

Great to see another white HD getting built, you're gonna love the HD Stripes:thumbsup:
