Looking for thumb shifters, right hand needed but would consider a pair. XT would be really nice but not looking to spend too much. Stridsland ring is not >'97, but thought I'd ask just in case😅

If the Imgur videos aren't working, click this link and it'll take you to a folder of them!

Decals went on a treat. I got mine form H Lloyd cycles, before hearing about the forum favourite source: Gil. The decals are great, they seem very high quality. I marked the centre line of the decals, then used tape to mark position and centreline of each tube before slicing the decals down...

Here's the headset, took about two weeks to arrive so fairly quick from AliX. I think this was a big factor. If the bearings were rotating hundreds of times a minute, I might look to get something higher quality, more durable. But a headset moves through a very small window of rotation on a...

Updating this thread on the painting process! Since Saturday, I've stripped, etch primed, high-build primed and (today) painted the frame. It's been a fantastic process, something I've always wanted to try. I learnt a lot from @enc's Youtube videos, and then later his more in depth threads. If...

94 or 110bcd?

Haha! Thank you. Will you be starting a thread for yours?

Hey Spanky, my dad ended up winning this (sorry you missed out!). He had the same bike in '92 and has regretted selling it ever since. He took my Kilauea for a spin last week and was hit with nostalgia. It'll be his third bike alongside a Canyon Ultimate and a Stan Pike (1976 road bike), so...

U know it

It’s a good question. When I wrote the update, I went back and forth over justifying the purchase and in the end couldn’t really think of a strong argument for or against it. A friend had one on his fixie a couple of years ago and I found it funny that something that costs so much could be had...

The fake 'King' headset I picked up for this bike was passed through my window by my friendly post man Jason yesterday. It's arrival meant I could fit the project two forks and begin to think about a new bar and stem setup. I went down to Wickes looking for threaded rod and a section of pipe to...

Brilliant! The brake guide mod is good, although looks a bit sketchy up close. I might have a look at 3D printing an alternative, unless there's something cleaner on the market. The P2 has 220mm of steerer. With a 19" frame I have a good amount of stack to play with while I get the position...

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but are all the clamping diameters the same? Interested in the Planet X silver depending on clamp

In a moment of genius (an MTBR forum post from 2004) I used a barrel adjuster from a derailleur as the bolt to tighten the collar, giving me a cable stop for the rear brake! A couple of mm off the housing and the brake works great. Without fully tightening the collar, pulling on the brake...

Cranks removed today, BB buttery smooth and straight as far as I can tell. Held the rings against a straight line and could see that the crank wasn't parallel. New cranks on the list then! Rode the bike around town for an hour or so last night and found the stem much too long, it puts you very...

I recently picked this up off eBay listed under an incorrect spelling of Kilauea. I already have a retro MTB (a Giant Boulder 500) and don't really have the space to pick up another, but I've always loved the shapes of these classic Konas and couldn't turn down this deal! The plan with this...

I've bought this, before seeing this thread! Taking delivery this week. Will update. RE: repair, I'd also like to know if this is normal. I've read about Konas from this era failing at the drop outs? Seller assured me that this is a fairly simple repair.
