Giving it the old "like, comment, and watch-to-the-end-of-the-video" trifecta.

Just got the same frame, with a Zeb up front. Best ride ever. Keep the videos coming. Broke a rib gong over the bars a week ago and this was the best pain relief!

Good to see you practicing your jumps. Definitely looking a little more confident in trying. Keep up the progress brother. Great vid

Thanks for the heads up about this trail - I live in Alameda and have been trying to explore the Marin/Napa counties more.

These videos are the only thing keeping me sane right now. Threw out my back HARD a week ago, and this week despite all of my precautions, Magically caught Covid. Got close to going to the hospital, but pulled through the thick of it. Been 2 weeks since I've even gotten on my bike, probably gonna be 2 more with how I'm feelin and these videos are seriously keeping the morale up till then. Keep up the good work and keep on riding something new BK

I bought a Ripmo! And let me tell ya, it wasn't easy...search, search, search...and finally found a place with ONE in stock ( I really anted the the V2s, Bruce Banner). I bought frame only. Finally, after I don't know how many years of talking about it, I'm going to build my dream bike. Thank you for putting IbIs on my radar.

To keep the load a little lighter I drink about 32 oz. right before the ride, it makes a big difference.

For the chain slap check out that stfu chain dampener it’s amazing I had one didn’t hear slap ever it was amazing!

All your videos are a great watch. You should spend a week riding behind the first lead guy. Your skill level behind him is the best I've ever seen from you. You still missed a few, but great ride from you. And a really great trail. Thanks for great videos.

How tall are you? I'm curious because your riding a medium now and always wondered if maybe I should have gone with M despite being between 5'10-5'11". Seems like you may be around that height too, so curious how your liking the medium vs the large.

Bikecheck video pls. loving the content

Having a hard time deciding between the 2023 Ripmo v2s or the 2023 Ripley v4s... this will be my first full suspension mountain bike (i've always ridden hardtails, I'll be coming off a 2021 Salsa Timberjack w/ a 130mm front fork). I mainly ride undulating flow trails with chunky tree roots in Alaska, but do a big big trip every year towards the moab/colorado/northwest area. The big factor is I broke my back and neck 3 years ago whitewater kayaking, so I'm looking to soften the hard ride of the softtail up. I would love to have a lighter bike like the Ripley, but the extra cush of the Ripmo would probably feel better on my back. Any suggestions?

Those trails are way different than anything I've ridden out there. I guess I need a different guide!

Fifty shades of cyan.

Did I miss where he talked about the new medium frame vs the old large?

Does the medium feel way more responsive, agile, nimble? Is it 27.5 or 29er?

What tires are you using now? front and back ? (just curious :) ) Looking to change my dissector / Rekon combo for DHF - Dissector

Hi!And what is the next step with old frame?

There's your thumbs up...now get your ars to Clevelands East Rim Trail....🤣

What are your thoughts on a chain ring bash guard (I think I see one on your sweet build)? Hit my chain ring on some steep rocks last weekend and wondering if it is worth it, or just avoid the rocks ;)

I run the mule 12l for long days

Hey Brian...awesome trails...I thought you lived in Nor Cal like I do. Can you please tell us how to get to these trails in Napa? I'm prolly 90 minutes away but it seems, from this video that it would be worth the commute!

From india 🥀❤️

So, did that Velocity Hucking System quiet the chain slap?

Hi I’m on a v1 size medium I’m 5’10 sometimes I feel it’s a bit small I’m buying a v2 but now I see you’ve downsized I is the v2 a little roomier? What was your reason for downsizing

Great video once again Brian. New bike looking good. What does your friend(Po) think of the Norco? Thinking about getting one.

Why change to a M frame ?

Brian it's better in medium size or large size ?

Hows the new size frame working out?

If you don't want your V1 ILL TAKE IT!! LOL

Also, what grips are you running?

1:09 Hey Brain, have you ever tried STFU chain damper. I tried them out myself starting last season and it is a game changer, made my bike finally STFU.

You have 29s on the Medium or 27.5s?

Hey BKXC, if we don’t have too much time, can we skip the vid right to the end to have watched “the whole thing”??

@BKXC I'm 5'8 and I always feel more comfortable on a large previously I have only ridden hardtails. Finally went with a full suspension, got a large and now i really think i should have gotten a medium. Any suggestions besides maybe a shorter stem? Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride

@mikeyp3694

If it helps I'm 5'7" with long arms and it is all about reach...a medium with a sub 450mm reach is too short for me. I ride a V2 Ripmo with a 35mm stem...perfect for me. Short story is find your magic reach number.....otherwise crazy short stem can help in your case.

The V2 Ripmo has a 460 reach in a medium.

Question...Why does Ibis limit their color choices so much? I want to pull the trigger and buy one but the color options are incredibly limited. I want the blue (its my fav color) but it isn't avail. If im going to spend that much money I at least want the color I prefer.

How tall are you? I am 5’11” and really struggling with if I should go Large or Medium Ripmo. And then I see you switch between the two.. haha would love to hear your comparison
