    Kona Humuhumu stars and bars, tell me all you know about it.

    Dayum, that's a nice pick up. If that's really a P2 Ti fork.. ;) It would look really nice holding up the front end on my Hei Hei.

    '92 Explosif - Modified. Unpure.

    Nice build! Would you mind measuring the radius of your 27.5 wheel/tyre setup? I'd like to see if i can do this on my frame, but the chain stay bridge distance worries me.

    Polishing up a neglected previously polished alloy frame for lazy people

    I've got a random orbit polisher I used for my car.. but the pads are probably not abrasive enough...

    The unicorn bike paradox

    Yeah.. that's exactly it. My unicorn was a '95 Kona Hei Hei Titanium, so I went n+1. Life is good, I'm in a happy place. I'm done. Then I did some research and found out here from @Pipmeister and @Mortonm that there was a '96 Hei Hei King Kahuna with different tubing... Now, I'm done, but...

    1999 Kona Hei Hei... 98 Oem+ Rebuild.. Update 01/07/22

    How are you liking the P2's on the Hei Hei? Wondering if I would be doing a disservice to such an awesome frame by putting a rigid fork on it, and also if my old man stiff bones would be able to handle a jarring ride..

    ** Show us your Modern/retro Kona **

    Wow, that's nice. I'm on the hunt for an M970 wheelset myself.. bought a front hub without questioning the seller enough and it showed up as a centerlock M975 front hub.. Here's my 95 HH running an XTR M970 brakeset and a modern 1x11 XT M8000.

    1996 Kona Hei Hei - The First King Kahuna

    Nice.. orange would go well with that. I'd love to get a Z2 in orange - my fav colour, where'd you find it? I went with a purple chainring, my daughter's favorite colour.

    1995 Kona Hei Hei

    Thanks! :) Yah I did that on the Kilauea for a while using it as a winter bike, and I stupidly used electrical tape instead of zipties to secure it to the frame.. I don't really like the look of zipties or electrical tape. Pipmeister showed me about using a light clamp with a threaded stop -...

    1995 Kona Hei Hei

    In the mid 90s I absolutely adored Kona and Rocky Mountain bikes. My buddy picked up a Hahanna halfway through high school at the bike shop where I worked for my "work experience" term and our gym class did a chapter on mountain biking. I didn't have a real bike but there were a few guys in...

    Marzocchi Bomber (updated with photos)

    FluffyChicken, so if one were after a Z fork, which of the 80mm variants would be the one to look for?

    Marzocchi Bomber (updated with photos)

    Yeah, mine is nearly identical to yours, but with blue decals. 97 date code stamped on the lowers and the crown, but my serial number is a lot lower (Z2 402###). It's a lovely fork.. how long is the steerer? It's tough to see if it's a rebuild, as most aftermarket seals are nearly identical...

    Marzocchi Bomber (updated with photos)

    It's a 1998 Bomber Z2 BAM. I have the same fork but with blue decals. The 1998 Rocky Mountain Blizzard came with this fork and rubber stanchion dust caps as standard.

    My unicorn - 1994 Kona Hei Hei - FULL SPEC/FINISHED PICS ON PAGE 8 & 9 - BOTY 2021, BOTM April 2021 & 2nd MucOff Show & Shine Malverns Classic 2021

    Weird question - where do your cable donuts (the rubber pieces on the bare cable across the top tube, down tube, and chainstay) come from?

    1998 Kona Hei Hei

    Did the black aftermarkets came triple butted? Correct me if I'm wrong, they CM/TB P2's only came in dark silver and bronze/gold..?

    1998 Kona Hei Hei

    Sweet looking build. How long is the steerer on those Mag Ti's? I might be interested if you were OK letting them go, I'm building up a '95 Hei Hei at the moment, but I need something with a long steerer as it's a 20" frame! :D What headset are you going to use? I have a Bomber Z2 and a...
