If it's a 94 then 410mm. 👍

The geometry was slightly different, 94 was the year they moved from a 395mm axle to crown fork to a suspension corrected 410mm. With a corresponding reduction in headtube length to maintain stack height. 👍 😁

He replied up there ^ I meant to quote it but didn't and can't add it.

Shedfire is Brant, he probably knows. :)

I think that's a 96. Came with Magura HS 11s and that looks like the edge of a Columbus tubing decal and the 96 blue main decals. But yes that's not the cleanest looking joint is it. :)

I had a non splined 94 Explosif, ended up being the exact same frame as my 94 Kilauea. Which according to the catalogue it shouldn't have been. I can only assume that as Tange stopped production of the Ultrastrong downtubes and Kona had Explosif orders left to fill they did the next best thing...

That is a Pro 4 DH hub. It was indeed available in 142. Your best bet for the right kit is to get in touch with Hope directly for the part no. and then order through any Hope dealer. Before you do though be aware that as the driveside flange is canted out over the freehub body, done to even out...

It's Canadian and has a tenuous Brodie link. 😂 Making up the numbers. Benjabbi's 1995 Rocky Mountain Vertex Build thread

They're certainly nice looking skewers. 😍👍 😁

Yeah Middleburn. They look like mini RS-7s if my memory serves me right?

They did an earlier screw on freewheel hub to match the front with an Acetol body. They never did a cassette hub though and had discontinued the rears by the time the carbon fronts appeared. 👍 😁

Cut a teeny (the slightly wonky) bit off the steerer and lost the headset spacer. Borrowed the grannyring spacers off the other Raceface just to see what it looks like. 👍 😁

Cool, that's nicely resolved, I felt a bit bad for pointing it out but rules is rules! 😁

I hate to be pedantic but one of those has no chain. Is that not against the rules?
