Interested in the LX M570 F & R £20 posted. Can you pm me details on payment etc

Fluffy chicken I could kiss you lol. Thanks a lot for your reply. Just knocked the wedge out and fitted it and the job is now sorted. Thanks again.

Looking into it now this is the more likely explanation. The forks seem identical how they are threaded at the top to my old forks the only difference is there isnt a thread inside the new forks to bolt down onto. This is why I thought a star nut would do the job. My mistake.

Thanks for the replies. There must be something else not right with the set up then as it appears the only thing that holds the stem in place is the star nut. Without that tight the handle bars and stem are loose. With my old forks (project 2's) and velocity stem. They seemed to just bolt...

I am in the process of fitting some bombers to my 92 kona explosif. To fit the stem to the forks I fitted a star nut. When tightening the bolt down however all it does is pull the star nut to until it destroyed it. Is a star nut usually up to The job of holding the stem on or should I be looking...

I did actually think i was posting in the "whats it worth" thread, sorry, I'm new to the forum. Can a mod move to the relivent section? I am also asking whats it worth even though I am keeping it because up until a week or so ago I thought it was more or less worthless. It was only after...

Decided to keep the bike, at the moment everything is original, a few light scratches but generally in good condition. Just wondered what you think its worth????

Kona lover, are you interested in selling the bombers??

Think as long as I can find some suitable suspension forks I am going to go down the route of replacing the forks and seeing how it goes. Worse case scenario , I don't like them and the project 2s go back on. So what short travel forks would be best suited for the explosif frame????????

I was always under the impression that I rode all tracks back then without suspension so I should be ok now. That was until I went to Cannock chase, Rode the tracks a few times now and love it but think it would be a lot less bone, shaking and eye wobbling with a bit of front suspension at...

Thanks for all the replies, gives me a lot to think about lol. Think I need to do a bit more research before I decide :D

Hi, can I just start by saying this is my first post so hopefully it is in the correct place. I used to be really into my mountain biking and as a teenager bought myself a 1992 Kona explosif pro. This was always a good bike but after I got interested in cars it was just put up at the back of my...
