Hi, I'm usually lurking on the retro road forum but I've just bought a mtb for the first time in years. I got a 94 Kona kikapu deluxe which should hopefully be a decent bike but it does need some parts changed.
First off is the wheels, both hubs seem pretty shot and the rims are poor quality so I'm looking for a complete wheelset. Hubs need to be for 6 bolt disks but other than that i'm not too fussy. Tbh i'm so out of touch with mtbs i dont really know where to start so I'm open to suggestions. I'm a pretty light rider and wont be doing anything too strenuous/dangerous for now!
Also looking for a triple chainset ideally with a bottom bracket as the ones on the bike are very worn. I guess mid range shimano or equivalent would be fine but again im open to suggestions and anything in decent nick will be considered.
Thanks in advance and sorry i cant be more specific.
