[Closed] Kona P2s - any good?

They are classic.

Yeh, they're fine. I had them on my jake the snake before i got carbon forks. A bit harsher than carbons obvioulsy but fine forks.

ive got p2s on my commute and they are fine they're reknowned for being quite good at absorbing the shocks .

this for mtb or road/cross? I've got some 700c P2s for sale if it's the latter.

Mtb

john_l, don't suppose they are disc & threadless are they?

mine are the shnizzle

make sure u get the tripple butted lighter ones not the heavier jump ones

I've got some triple butted grey threaded V-brake ones for sale too.

Check at shop as some dodgy batch had mis-angled droputs.

Goes on road or xc nice.

Only takes 180mm disc max for nfo.

Light too.

Kona warranty in UK is poo though.

oh !!!!which ones had the mis aligned drop outs ,bought mine of ebay and the disc mount didnt seem straight , thought it might need facing.

[i]john_l, don't suppose they are disc & threadless are they?
[/i]

threadless but canti-only.

surfr - how much you looking for? oh, and 1" or 1.125"?

The triple butted ones are really good forks, if you can gt some! I actually prefer the triple butted ones to carbon ones I have run.

Jimmy 1 1/8th with a 142mm steerer. 30 posted?

Surfr - sorry for late reply. I need 1". Cheers

I've got a set of plain ones ("DJ" version from Kona Unit) with disc and v mounts - would love to swap them for butted version if anyone's interested. I'd need disc mount and 1 1/8" steerer. Email in profile!

I [i]had[/i] a pair of the last double butted disc/canti ones (420mm). Not that light. A pair of pipedream ones are noticeably lighter.
Some of the longer travel P2s have the ugly extended crown as well. Not had the triple butted so can't comment on them. Tbh though, ridewise I think it's pretty hard to tell the difference between half-decent steel forks. Disc P2s are becoming like hen's teeth - Orange do the F8s(?) they might be worth a look too.
