A few updates from my bike. Having managed to track down a new set of oil seals, and a new pair of bushings (plus some spares), I was able to rebuild my Z1s over the Christmas period and resolve the juddering under breaking I was experience. This was done through a combination of new bushings...

Re: The 1998 Kona Lava Dome Resto Mod Project It did really well from memory, it was the old manitou forks that gave up quickly! I was gutted when it got nicked.

Re: The 1998 Kona Lava Dome Resto Mod Project Looks lovely, I used to have a 98 cindercone that was built as a jump bike (!!). Bought back some memories looking at this.

2 still remaining if anyone wants one

2 remain. One has poorly machined threads, so will be provided with a nut & bolt arrangement and is priced at £40.

Bump

Make that 3 remaining.

4 remain!

Thanks, I am really please with how the build has turned out! It looks the part, and rides like a dream. I do need to urgently service the forks though, and hopefully I can keep them going! I am going to treat myself to a modern frame to sit alongside this, as whilst it is fun to thrash down...

Thanks

5 remaining (4 if I decide to keep one for myself)!

Re: Spooky Bandwagon / Metalhead Rear Disc Mount Good to hear! I saw Gravity Dropper do a 26.8 one, but I found a version on eBay for a fraction of the price with a lever beneath the seat.

Re: Spooky Bandwagon / Metalhead Rear Disc Mount Nice, I did think about trying to use on of those, but was skeptical about drilling the frame! I want a dropper post, going to buy one and have a friend turn it down to 26.8 lol

Re: Spooky Bandwagon / Metalhead Rear Disc Mount Update: 4 sold, 6 remain!

Re: Spooky Bandwagon / Metalhead Rear Disc Mount ^^You're right. The original mount was designed for my Bandwagon frame.

Re: Spooky Bandwagon / Metalhead Rear Disc Mount Sure, I can email over a drawing tomorrow for you. It’s to scale, so you can print it and see what it likes.

Re: Spooky Bandwagon / Metalhead Rear Disc Mount Excellent! it hasn’t been tried out on a Metalhead frame, but it should work as the hole spacings are the same on each frame. I always assumed the multiple holes were to allow for the chain tensioning required due to the horizontal dropouts.

Made you look! These are not the original mounts that came with the frames, but after struggling to source the originals I designed my own, had machined out of a lump of 6061 and have spent the last three months braking in joy around the Surrey Hills! After a small amount of interest generated...

Thanks, ah man, that's grim! I must have ruined so many cranks when I younger, forever trying to extend their life by cutting up coke cans lol

No real update to the build, the only thing I have done recently is ride about 300 miles on it since the was completed. I have added a narrow wide chain ring as I kept dropping the chain on the trails, and sourced a DMR chain cage which I am yet to fit. I'll post a few photos when I have done so.
