Oh yeah, that video is for clicks. IIRC, the Walmart bike is basically falling apart before the end of a single run.
Most all the cycling YouTubers are all buddies. For sometime, awhile back all the guys did Walmart bike videos, just for shits and giggles. I think there’s a video of one at whistler bike park that Seth did. That maybe the video you posted.
Version 1 or version 2? I went with version 1 since it was discounted and version 2 is backordered until at least September.
Very cool, mine is blue!
I talked to a guy who rode both of them extensively (version 1 and 2), and he said he actually prefers version 1. He said that while version 2 is nice, it is by no means such a huge improvement that it's worth upgrading to.
He had mentioned he likes the feel and ride of his V1 more.
I was going to get blue but it was on back order lol.
I was so impressed when I demoed the bike I told them to order and build it ASAP!
Needless to say I’m very happy with the uphill and downhill performance of this bike.
As a rider it took me to another level.
How do you like your Ripmo?
Too soon to say. I picked it up a week ago and the weather has been so rainy and nasty I haven’t had a chance to actually take it out and open it up. I can’t wait to though, especially with our move to Arizona coming up.
In the meantime I am going to install this InvisiFrame on it!
Did Ibis give you a little mud flap that goes over the rear linkage to keep the mud and little rocks out? If not ask for it. I had to ask for mine, but they gave it to me.
No, but now I am going to ask for it. That seems like a good idea. I do have a front and rear fender for it. Plastic ones, but really nice ones that aren’t annoyingly obvious like others I’ve seen.
I got a 1UP Heavy Duty. I’ll install it once we get moved and situated. I left it in the box until we are done moving.
Fun fact, this TJ was bought almost entirely using Bitcoin profits.
Also, after much debate, it will be receiving a Savvy mid-arm and the whole nine yards. Who was I kidding, right? Of course this time I’ll make sure it’s done 100% right.
