First ride out on the ti forks went great, very nice ride. The rise from the extra leg length has made a hell of a difference too.

Another ride on the Ti forks no problems even after hitting a few unavoidable potholes.

No way it weights 22lbs.
It has to be more.

Re: The 1998 Kona Lava Dome Resto Mod Project

Update. I've started riding with spd's which I haven't tried for many years. I did give them a go when I was in a local cycling club in my early teens but couldn't get on with them at the time so I quickly returned to flats.

Here they are courtesy on Reluctant on here. Working a treat so far I have the tension wound right off and im using the marmite multi release cleats which some rave about and some hate. All good for me so far no false releases and on the first ride with them today I have got many pr's on strava so they must be working haha.

Re:

Lovin' the ti fork!

I like this build a lot. I tried flats after years on SPD this week, so weird!
