Fox34 - 130mm to 140mm / rear tire change?
I’ve been wanting my 2021 Ibis Ripley AF to have a little bit more of a plush feel since I’m using it for more aggressive trail riding/enduro. So today I swapped the air shaft assembly from 130mm to 140mm and removed 2 tokens(3 installed from the manufacturer) and wow…. Feels like a totally different ride which is incredible.
I’m going to be throwing bigger tires on (29” x 2.5”maxxis aggesai). I bought two of them. Do you think it’s fine to have those tires on the front and rear or is it overkill? I’m riding in New England which is very rocky/loaded with roots.
Any other recommendations for making for of a plush set up for the 2021 Ripley AF? Rear shock is a Marzocchi inline bomber. Added new PNW loam grips. Brand new cassette, chainring and chain put on 4 weeks ago. Thanks!
