1994 Kona Lava Dome - NEW PICS Page 5 (2.11.20)

They're 2.1 F&R. I like them, this bike doesn't get used too much, so haven't found out what they're like in "proper slop", but they're a lot of fun in loose, loamy woods, I can really flick the back end out nicely and pop it back in with confidence!Timmy":2xsgbuqe said:

Do you find the splashbacks clear the stays properly, only reason i ask is im running 1.8 SB's on my 98 caldera, and as offroad tyres for my 93 Lava Dome, and im considering 2.1's but the 1.8's are quite wide for their size and im worried about frame contact!
My 1.8's are a bit skittish i find, but ChrisV40 was riding some 2.1's on our sunday ride this weekend and he said theyre really good and confidence inspiring, hence my looking into the bigger size!
Im loving your 94 btw, ive got one upstairs im slowly rebuilding to take over commuter duties from my 93 LD, mine wont be as clean as yours though, im aiming for a full lx build, only need a few more bits too!
But enough of my drivvel cluttering your thread up i think lol!

Cheers for the compliments. I've not had problems with clearance, but then, I've not taken the bike out in the winter so proper mud hasn't been involved yet. I've got a modern hardtail for those duties...
I'd imagine if I did get it fully clarted up, then yes, clearance would be an issue. But then, when you get to that point on any bike, it is, eh?
