Re: Kona Pahoehoe 2000 update
Been enjoying the Pahoehoe when I can, not very often mind but had the odd ride where it really does perform well. Been setting some respectful strava times and passing plenty of modern bikes along the way.
But I wanted a lighter fork and something that was not yellow, as much as I love my old Z1's. I thought I had got some Z1 x flys from (2000) but a gumtree chancer was stringing me along. Then i found these Marzocchi Marathon SL's ('04) on ebay. Always fancied a pair but these were a gamble as not much idea and condition etc.
They needed a new ecc adjuster plus a tiny spring, screw and pin to work as Marzocchi intended. thankfully Windwave had the smaller parts in stock and single track forum supplied the knob. Mind the valve adjuster was a bit pricey.
So with a clean, polish and air they seem good to go. Fitted them yesterday but the adjuster on the brakes stripped a thread so no test ride for now. Apologies for crap photo as was throwing it down outside.
The forks are really good cosmetically but the frame looks terrible now so time to crack on with sorting that over summer and looking forward to the first ride with new forks.
