    Kona Sex-One

    Re: So, the saga continues. The A25 shocks from Amazon have arrived and absolutely will not fit. The linkage is not the same on a Sex One as a Sex Too as previously stated in an earlier post but the valve end is upside down also so clashes with the frame bracket. Not convinced these shocks are...

    Kona Sex-One

    Hi Dr. Marzocchi - no, I've already bought them from you. You sent them earlier in the week! I am however concerned about the rear shock as the A25 I have bought from amazon seems to be causing issues as the payment keeps getting declined many hours after the transaction. I'm wondering if they...

    Kona Sex-One

    Just wondering where to get replacement decals from? Gave my bike a good clean last night and saw close up the various scratches and blemishes + the rear section has a few rust spots. The current decals are mostly okay but are peeling and scratched in a cuple of spots.

    Re: Where? Do you know anyone that can do it? Had thought about it but I know from my motorcycle track days that suspension is easy to get wrong and hard to get right

    Your bike looks superb. I found the A25 on Amazon the other dau so I have bought. Your comment about the air valve is quite concerning. I have also found Risse and emailed them yesterday asking what they can offer - no reply yet but they are pricey looking at the website - might be the only...

    Re: Looks cool - shame it was 2013 as the parts are even harder to get now. Managed to get a rear shock from Amazon - not here yet but should be good.

    Re: Resto-mod is exactly where I want to go with this bike. Its what I prefer and have done a Rockhopper 15 years ago as a single speed and a Orange missile as a trail / downhill bike. Sadly the Orange got pinched and foolishly I sold the rockhopper (far to cheap). I just don't like the way...

    Re: cool, thanks for the info on the shock. Will keep doing the research to see what I can source. Hopefully I can at least get it serviced/re-built I always take the front mech of my bikes as I just don't use them. I prefer the styling of these bikes but I want it to be 'future proof' as I...

    Re: Occured to me during the night: Does anyone know what size the rear shock should be i.e. what did it come with origanlly? I have no idea what the shock I have is or whether or not it was oem etc. I did also wonder if it has 'shrunk' as its definately leaking oil. I only say this as I...

    Will keep what I have for the moment but have been thinking about an upgrade to a hollowtech single ring crank. I've seen a raceface unit that looks smart. Does anyone know if I can change to this type from the old school tappered type? Would like the single ring to save on future maintainance...

    Struggling to find a replacement 135mm rear shock for a Kona Sex one. Was hoping for something new and decent to help 'future proof' - I want to ride this bike for many years to come! Any suggestions? So far the best I have found is a 145mm rockshock unit. Really appreciate any help as this...

    Took some photos but they really don't show anything - just frame and box of bits so haven't posted them. Few discoveries during strip down: Bottom bracket is a cheap and nasty unit which wasn't even done up properly. Now looking for something new and a bit bet quality. Currently a 68 x 118...
