Re: KONA EFS / Sintesi Bromont Fully (1992 - 1994?)
Another simple progress : I thought about the cable adjustment, I'd like to have the Magura brake lines in the frames cable holder (I don't want additional cable binders or other 3rd party parts on the frame). Unfortunately this are all stop holder for wire lines.
Lucky me this is a frame with disc mounts and the swing which holds the dics mount has two 'open' cable holders to let a brake fluid line through.
So what I did is to drill the 4 aluminium rivets of the holders carefully out and was able to take them out without any damage. I will exchange 2 of the other cable holder with this ones (don't know which ones yet). Pressing new rivets as almost so easy.
As I don't use disc brakes I'm loocking for some blind plugs to close the 4 little holes (it is about 2mm diameter).
Another thing I decided is to have the Magura Evolution holder grey/silver and reduce black parts on the bike. I tried to buy some used one and learned about Evo and Evo II and that they are incompatibel.
So I guess I will sandblast some black ones and paint them silver/grey or may be silver metallic, as this seems to be the colour Magura parts.
I also did cleaning of the chainring, the back Shimano rear derailleur 9x and found out that the 3x front derailleur does not fit to the frame because of it's geometry - it needs to have the mounting clamp on top.
I have another one, a Shimano Deore XT FD-M760A E-Type, not that much used, which I try next. Will see, I think an E-Type will change the chain geometrie, as it moves the chain ring about 2mm to the right side - I don't know about that much yet.
