And here's my '94 explosif (just SS'd) after a nice muddy ride in Epping.

Does anyone know the 'Magic ratio' to eliminate the tensioner, I've been told 32/17 or 34/16 can someone confirm?

I'm also looking for some suspension so if you have anything that will fit drop me a pm.

Good God man..that bikes got mud on!!!! you fiend....you do realise this is retro bike sir?

Epping forest has some great rides as long as you can avoid the hoorays walking the chocolate labrador in their hunters and barbours

Thats pretty cool! Mate had one when new, tore the headtube clean off the first frame, then the warranty frame collapsed the downtube like a coke can landing off a jump, haha.

Why the tensioner? isn't the BB fixed to the swingarm?

Yes, but the vertical dropouts allows no tension adjustment like horizontal ones so a tensioner is required.

Oooo a lesser-spotted 97 King Kikapu. I haven't seen one of these apart from the catalogue.

Looks like it's had the rear pivots welded up like all '97 Kona full sussers.
Mine included
