Im in the process of buying a full sus frame in the aim of swapping over the bits from my Kona.

Will this be a (Relatively) simple swap?
Im assuming I will need to get a longer rear hose and new gear cables, is there anything else?
The usual problems are these so check each one.
Seat post diameter
Steerer length of fork
bottom bracket shell width
fork length
integrated non integrated head set
stem length (for bike to fit your stem will fit)
unlikely but...
steerer diameter
mounting for rear brakes
Front mech can be a problem. Top swing / conventional and band size need checking.
Also if you are running disc brakes the front hose may not be long enough if you are going for longer travel forks.
Doh forgot the front mech
see thats why forums are good
