The kit comes with a new lower link and the swingarm. I have not had any rubbing issues, nor have I have seen the Mojo 3 rubbing problems (as there a thread on that?). Not sure if the Boosinator fits the Hope 4 hubs, you'd need that to convert to a 148mm standard.

Anyway, I did a short review of the kit and tires: Just In ? Ibis Mojo HD3 Boost/Plus Swingarm Kit and Schwalbe Nobby Nic 27.5+ Tires

Just ordered a new 142 centerlock wheel ... I hope nothing will ever happen to my current (old standard) HD3 rear!!!!!!!

pastajet thanks for the reply. When I ordered my frame I got the 148 version and built my wheels up with the new Hope 4s in the Boost size. All that is good. 1-2 times per week I ride in a state forest with pointed, granite rock all over the place which wears out side casings on tires. I held off on the plus tires initially waiting for some tires come out with a decent side casing (exo, etc.) that are still light weight in the plus sizing. I ride a fat bike all winter in New England and don't need that weight in the summer. Tire suggestions appreciated anyone?

2nd question- I have the interrupted cable setup going to the rear derailleur. Portion of cable housing running from thumb shifter to top tube cable port rattles where it enters the cable port. If I pull housing clean it, grease the end, insert it will go a ride then start rattling again. Noticed yesterday the housing is wearing thin where it sits in the cable port. If I am staying interrupted any suggestions to prevent the rattle at the port entry?

Thanks

Nice setup. What's in the bottle cage? Shorty go alright in the dry? I'm about to buy one for our mud season...

Sorry for the late reply, I was outta range.

The bottle cage carries my tool kit, keeps the weight off of my back and low on the frame. The shorty is a great tire. Amazing in the mud and loam. Not super great in the loose dry over hard pack, but you could do worse. It's also a bit heavy. Mine is the DH version, I think they now offer a WT version which might be worth a look. I'm swapping it out for a minion WT in a week or two.

Its been a while since I posted in the build thread. But since I have made several changes (with 1 more coming) I figured I would add a new shot of the HD3:

Most recent changes:
- Swapped CCDBA for Fox X2
- Swapped PIke for Fox 36
- Switched out 3.35 Hans Damph to 3.5 DHF WT
- Switched out 2.25 Ibex Onza for 2.4 DHR WT
- Next will be Reverb to Fox Transfer

Who's running a 180 brake rotor in the rear of their HD3? I'm using the SRAM Guide RSC brakes. Which post to post adaptor needs to be ordered for proper fit? It's not very clear trying to find this info.!! Is it just one 20mm adaptor or two 20mm spacers?? Part number or pics would be appreciated. Thank you

How are you finding the CCDBA to X2 swap?

Also, guessing you mean 2.35 to 2.5? I've just ordered a 2.5 WT, how does it measure up compared to the HD?

I just realized I put DBAIR, not DBInline...sorry for the confusion. I had an inline and there are a lot of threads here that discuss the issues with the inline and it's inability to handle the shock curve on the HD3.

I had a CCDBACS on my Bronson and got my HD3 with the X2. Its not an apples to apples comparison since they are different bikes but the X2 feels fantastic. I have zero complaints about it. I talked to a few guys at LBS and Dirtlabs, I was considering pulling the CCDBA off the Bronson and putting it on the HD3. All agreed the X2 was a much better shock. The Dirtlabs guys said the X2 is basically an upgraded CCDBA with the latest technology. The 36 with the X2 is pretty damn sweet.
