1998 Kona Caldera SS Build

[KonaHoathy]

Building myself up a single speed for work and genrally being brilliant. I bought a caldera frame off the bay will update as I go:

Have done some pictures of the wheels and the chainset, haven't pulled the cranks and BB off my old on-one (the frame of which is for sale) either yet. Bought some P2s off a guy from here, and hopefully some HS33s as well!

This is going to be nice...look forward to seeing the finished build

 

[KonaHoathy]

Now complete, basically. Need a booster for the front HS33:

looks sweet matey, i had one of these very briefly bitd before some scumbag half inched it from the shed...

 

[KonaHoathy]

well thats a total kick in the face. Your lava dome is most impressive though. I really wish I had some boosters for the brakes, its annoying not having them on there. I am considering a new tensioner as well as the one i have is super noisey. I was bidding on a Pahoehoe (SP?) on ebay the other day but didn't win, i just want one more kona!

 

[Neil G]

Looks great

Are you sure you have the tensioner lined up properly? Got one of those and it's reasonably quiet...got to keep the chain lubed up properly though

 

[KonaHoathy]

yeah, its set up ok, but the bit that goes around the chain thats keeps it on when you take the wheel out is a bit bent and the protruding pins on the chain touch it sometimes (quite a lot).
