Kona Project 2 Forks questions

[al-onestare]

Re:

I disagree. The weight difference is only part of the story. The handling and response improvements are very noticeable. TB P2's really are excellent.

Bit of a bump here… can anyone ID these as actual early Project two forks? Or just generic spinner forks with stickers?

They are 1” and they look plain gauged based on the dropout design?

If plain gauge what would they be worth?

Thanks!

trying to deduce if these are CM/TB P2's or not...seller doesn't know what model/year they came off & can't see any stamps. requested a few snaps of the dropouts.

I have a set of 410mm a/c P2 with that logo and they are 2003. There are stamped Spinner, 2003, CM/TB.

V-brake 700c forks were produced at least to 2005 and fitted to the Dr Dew hybrid.

yeah, pretty sure these are them. although he says he's seeing a CR-OM stamp - anybody got any idea what that's about?

I’ve just picked these up for my Merlin Titanium build.
1 used pair and 2 NOS pair

Both nos have 1992 stamped on them and Spinner with a bird print on the steerer.

so, this is probably a stupid question but, is there any reason a guy couldn't run a threaded fork w/a threadless headset?

[Ren Rawbor]

The steerer is likely going to be too short, and I'd be wary of the clamping ability of the stem onto the threaded part/strength of the steerer at this point. Other than that, don't think there's much so it's just down to if you have a fork from a giraffe's bike to hand & weighing up the value of this fork Vs your teeth

The thread makes a horrific stress riser - the ahead stem is attempting to rip the top of the fork off, with life threatening consequences. Best avoided.
Sell the wrong one and use the money buy the right one.
