Anyone having issues with talas knobs hitting the downtube? Got a hd3 medium with cc 40 series headset and 2015 fox 36 talas 160mm.
I had the same problem on a demo medium HD3 with a 2015 36 fox 160.
It didnt touch the down tube, but it ripped the ziptie holding the cable. It really is pretty close.
Which lower cup headset are you using?
 
you are riding the trail 100 on the hd3?
I rode it last year on the hd-r and had way too much bike for the fireroad heavy course but still didnt feel like I was giving up a lot to an xc fs bike. I'm no wc pro though jaja. Good luck on the race this year.
 
Steppin up



Made the move from an HD-R 650b to the HD3.
The bike looks amazing!
Gordon from Velo Hangar built up this beast.
We went xtr 1x11 with an x1 crank for now, but saving up for a next sl.
Problem with bikes like this is that I am left with zero excuses but I'll take it.

SICK! what grips are those? they go great with the dvo green
If you jump on the Ibis Facebook page, they've featured a black HD3 with a green Diamond, and green grips. It also has green decals on the rims and over the Ibis frame logo.

Funnily, it was the exact colour scheme I'm going for so its good to see that it looks great.

If I wasn't such a numpty I'd post up a pic.
