project 2 question no2

[lumos2000]

i have another pair of p2s but im wondiring if they are p2s, they came on my 94 cindercone, they are threaded 1 1/8" but are shorter the my other p2s thay look just like p2s but have "spinner.joi" stamped on the drop outs. are they just an early version?

Yes I think they are P2's if they have Spinner-Ji on them.

They sound to me like the none suspension corrected earlier P2's - which I believe would make sense on a 94 cindercone. Anthony is the guy to ask. He'll definetly know the history. I think all P2's have spinner printed on them somewhere. They will defintely be P2's.

thats good i thought they were but couldent be sure when compairing them with other p2s, the dropout is a different shape too.

They should be about an inch shorter than the 41cm ones used from 94 onwards and they are what the 88-93 frames were designed for. Mixing frame/fork isn't a disaster either way, but early Konas only had 70.5 degree head angles anyway so a 41cm P2 isn't going to give such good handling on an early frame as the shorter one that you've got. If you have a 94 or later frame, that fork will give you a lower front end and sharper handling than the designer intended, which you may or may not like.

thats good to know, thanks! im running a set of SIDs at the mo but wanted some ahead p2s for spare as the sid are locked out most of the time.
