I'm lucky enough to have a 2008 Kona Explosif, which I've always ridden as singlespeed.

But I'd like to futureproof it by buying the sliding dropout that includes a mech hanger. In case maybe I want to ride in the Alps or something.

Does anybody know which part this is?

This one from JE James looks right.

JE James Hanger

I can't find a definitive answer on the Kona tech area.

Help would be great.

Thanks Adam. I canb find the non-drive side, Kona Rear Derailleur T and V but I think the £35 at JE James still looks my best bet for the drive side.

Cheers for the heads-up.

The JE James is the right one, use it on my 2008 Unit 2-9.

I got mine direct from Kona online but they haven't got them in stock at the moment.

Thanks Andy (sorry for the 'Adam'). That drive-side one ain't right, I'm pretty sure. All ordered now. Drive side from JE James. Many thanks Ben for the confirmation.

Futureproofed.
