** Show us your Modern/retro Kona **

@leapgate
I was wanting to put a 2.2 Conti X King on the rear of my Kona Explosif put the clearance looks like it will be quite close on the chainstays. Any chance you could give your mounted Conti a measure for me?

No problem, I'll do it tonight if I get a chance. From memory when I fitted it though, it wasn't all that close.

OK thanks, maybe different clearance on the later model frames

About 6mm either side on the stays. I'll be using something narrower if it gets ridden through the winter mud!

I think the stays on that Explosif are a bit wider than the ones on my 94 Kilauea, so you may be right about the later frames.

:) Newbie here.....Picked up on Monday 1998 Cinder Cone. It has been a Loooong time since I was on a Bike and now the kids are tearing around the country park on theirs I need something to keep up with them on !

Rather than go "modern" I decided on Retro cool instead :cool: I've got to put the gears back on, the guy I bought it off was running it sort of singlespeed (with a full 8 speed cassette), so Deore DX thumbies are heading its way ! Original STX front mech and LX rear mech were also there....so quite pleased really !
