5 days agoWant Longer Chainstays on Your Ibis Ripmo or Ripley? Check out the Jank Link
The Jank Link lengthens Ibis Ripmo and Ripley chainstays by 13mm, increasing rear-center and altering geometry for added stability.
For taller riders, proportional bike geometry is essential, and many brands address this by making the front center longer, with little growth at the rear, which can leave many riders, myself included, riding bikes that fit but feel a little lacking. Although this is changing, and many bike brands are offering longer rear-centers, some riders want more. Eric Olsen from Jank Components is one of those riders, but he's also someone with the engineering know-how to remedy this on the Ibis Ripmo and Ripley (and af versions) with the Jank Link.
