No, we designed the Ripmo AF specifically around 29” wheels.

The largest chainring the Ripmo AF can accommodate is a 34T.

Yes, the max size oval chainring we recommend is a 32T. Not all oval chainrings are the same, we recommend double checking clearance before installation.

The Ripmo AF has clearance for the majority of 2.5" tires. However, we cannot guarantee fitment of all tires. There's too much variation between manufacturer's measurements. We recommend installing your preferred tire without sealant. Release air from the rear shock and while cycling the bike through its travel, please ensure there is a minimum of 6mm of clearance between the tire and frame. If there is sufficient clearance, continue with the installation. If you have insufficient clearance, we recommend installing a different rear tire.

Swapping the coil spring in the Bomber Z1 is a quick and easy job, check out our guide here.

Yes, but the bike is optimized around a 44mm. The 51mm offset fork shortens the trail (the distance between the contact patch and the steering axis), which can cause the front end to feel less stable.

170mm crank on small and medium.

175mm crank on large and extra large.

40mm stem on small.

50mm stem on medium, large and extra large.

No. 160mm is the maximum allowable fork travel.

Our engineers determined that gusset wasn't needed, so we stopped welding them on after the first batch of frames (the ones that were used for photography).

The Ripmo AF fits 22 oz Purist water bottles on all sizes when the Arundel side loader cage is used.

The Ripmo AF uses 160mm post mount rear brake mounts.
