1997 Kona Explosif

She loves singletrack more than gravel and gravel more than tarmac but sometimes you dont have a choice.

Some nice singletrack today

Picked up this NOS M950 rear hub for about 20 GBP. Didnt really need it but hard to argue with the price.

Unsure what to do with it. The hoops on the explosif are decent but maybe not special enough for XTR ? Obviously the XT hub on there is good too. I'll probably hold onto it and think for a bit

Still riding this a fair amount though it's taken a bit of a back seat with the acquisition of the King Kahuna and brodie. It will still be my most used bike moving forward. New grips and I have a new headset on the way. A kona control centre to replace the lower spec impact that is on it now. The impact may move to the brodie depending on if I get a threadless or threaded fork.
