[Closed] Anybody ride a kona full suss

Yes

I have a Stinky for dh

a Lava Dome for commuting & pootling

and a Dawg for enduro/ xc

they suffered from an image crisis when they were sold by halfords and adopted by the dodgy yoof
but generally they are awesome bikes imho

what model you looking at?

dawg sir

I've got a dawg primo frame sat doing nothing. It was replaced by a nomad which gubbed it in most areas to be fair. Great bike though, I might have to build it up again soon.

cheap frames at crc atm

what size is it please devs

Yes, a belt-drive A

How is the belt tensioned on that when the suspension compresses?

Doesn't it pivot around the bb?

Rode lots of Stinkys and absolutely love them. Once finances are aligned I'll be in the market for a Tanuki.

Yep, main pivot concentric with the BB, sliding dropouts allow me to tension the belt.

Its bloody ace.

I have a 2007 Hei Hei, the 63mm travel XC race bike. I took it to Swinley on Wednesday cos my other bikes were broken.. my God I'd forgotten how fabulous it was 🙂

Probably not relevant to your question tho 🙂

I also have a Kona road bike and hybrid commuter. I like Kona 🙂

Got an old stab as my DH bike would love one of the newer operators but the stab is enough for the likes of me really...

what size is it please devs

Large 19" 2006 I think. Bootiful bottle/racing green.

I split up a couple of Konas to make some space and thin the bikes out. My situation has changed and now i`m building this King back up. Fantastic trailcenter mile muncher.

yup love my dawg

its an 08 130mm one and it rocks, previously had a bear that lasted me 9 years, trail centre fun, 24hr races, 2 megavalanches,dh uplifts etc

the scandium frames are quite light and plenty strong the lockout is useful on smooth climbs,
seatpost is 30.0 so you are limited on choice of dropper post
I found a 10mm bolt thru helps stiffen up the rear when riding big stuff but you can swap out the dropouts to take 12x135mm if you really want

heres mine

Anyone got one of the Magic Link Jobs?

The Cadabra XC at CRC looks bloody cheap at 1350 quid if you like a 16"

I like my old dawg

I have one of these.

Another Dawg owner here, 2006 vintage. certainly not the prettiest or lightest bike but it is fun!

I would definitley get another or the newer Tanuki.

2010 Kona Hei Hei 100

08 dawg bloody awesome bike.

Some really nice Kona's on this thread. Great to see as a Kona owner. (albeit a HT owner, hence no picture!)

Also got a Hoss HT (in bits at the minute).

I had a King Kikapu '02 until some t*sser stole it. I then got a Whyte E-120 and you know what? I really miss my Kona 🙁

I have the same bike as restlessnative^^^^^^
