    Steerer Tube Swap Shop - shorter for longer! NO SALES!

    Hey, I have a triple butted P2 (405mm A2C) with I think a touch over 200mm on the steerer. Is that too little? I can double check. Would absolutely love a 300mm long steerer if that works for you? Ah wait you need a threaded? Damn , mine is a threadless.

    Marzocchi MX Comp travel change

    Hey everyone, Does anyone know where to source some travel spacers for older marzocchi forks? I've got an MX Comp 2003 air that I'm trying to reduce the travel on and I need some 20mm spacers. I tried a few folks in Europe (Dr. Marzocchi) but they didn't have any. Failing that, any...

    Tight headset

    Hey everyone, I finally sourced an old Marzocchi MX comp to try on my 2007 Kona Explosif. The problem is no matter how I adjust the headset, the new fork feels way too tight. It's a pretty standard looking superstar components sealed cartridge headset, and it seemed fine with the P2 I had...

    Steel Kona Explosif

    Re: Nice bike! ... but I'm looking at that massive steerer on the project 2 :shock: the holy grail. If the new buyer thinks that is excessive please PM me if they want to swap a shorter one in :)

    Kona Project 2 race

    Re: Hmmm, that's really useful, thanks! This would suggest that maybe I need to try go from under that little lip. I wonder if it was painted over at some point. Also nice project!

    Kona Project 2 race

    Hey everyone, Is anyone familiar with what a Project 2 fork should look like without the crown race? I just got one today and need to remove the crown race that's already on there. It seems to be a 1996 triple butted going by the markings on the steerer. I'm guessing the silver part is...

    Mountain bike wheel sizes

    Re: Interesting! I've been thinking about this difference a lot recently as I get used to my 27.5+ Marin Pine Mountain. While it really flies once it's pointed down a trail with the tyre pressure right, I find it always feels heavy (not surprisingly really, it is) and that it takes me a lot...

    1 1/8th Rigid fork - A/C ~ 425mm

    Re: Hey, thanks for the pics, that looks good! Just before I checked back here I pulled the trigger on a project 2 that came up on ebay with a slightly (20mm) longer steerer! :shock: I'll let you know how this goes. But thanks again for the suggestions, much appreciated.

    1 1/8th Rigid fork - A/C ~ 425mm

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for a rigid fork, carbon or steel, with v-brake mounts for a kona explosif build. Ideally looking for something between 410-425mm axle to crown, with more than 200mm steerer left. Let me know if you're ready to part with one! The internet seems to have run dry of...

    Kona Explosif 2008 build / fork conundrum (and hello)

    Re: Paul - Good to hear it works on the Lava dome. How were the Kinesis? Are the aluminium? Hi ishaw! I've heard the nukeproof might even be the same fork under the stickers as the exotic. If they're definitely the 425mm and you're not saving them I'd be interested! cheers Dave
