Procrates Posted April 23, 2017 Share Hallo Everyone The newest project being built up. What would you do on a build like this? Full retro or combination? Kona King Kahuna 2007/8 Parts from a 1998 Kona Kula. Looking for the rear brake bosses if anyone has this odd size lying around. Any other good quality (XT/XTR) 8 speed stuff that anyone wants to donate / trade (coffee or beer) will be appreciated.

I have some brake bosses of old forks lying around. if you can measure the inside diameter of the threads I can see if I have something that will fit. The size in the photo looks very close to the size of the Manitou Axle bosses I took off my gf's fork recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted April 28, 2017 Share well you already got the bomber fork and wheels, so that cuts out discs. BUT if it is not in good condition, then go for discs. better fork, better wheels, better brakes i'd also look at 9spd. lots of that lying around too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procrates Posted April 29, 2017 Share The Bomber is in a really good condition and I really want to keep it for the look. Only issue is the bosses though. Will post more details / measurements soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procrates Posted May 31, 2017 Share Brake bosses was the issue. Figured out it was an M6 size and maybe the bosses on an old Marzocchi Dh3 I have might work. If all goes well she will be rolling this weekend. I want to do a sticker set in the late 90s look, any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procrates Posted June 12, 2017 Share Update:- The brake bosses on the DH3 did not work, thread is correct but it has an extended part to work with the fork. Ordered the correct bosses from Germany and should be here in about two weeks. -Drivetrain installed and seems to be ok, will know for sure once you put power on it. - Played around with the Marzocchi to see if I can get another 5-10 mm to increase the crown to axle to suit the frame better, I used a spring from another marzocchi and it looks like I was able to get it about 8mm higher - The Dia-compe brakes I have is totally worn out so need to look for some V-brakes, anyone have some shimano's or avid's"lying around?

Letum911 Posted August 17, 2017 Share And? How did she come out? PS. If you still don't have brakes why don't you go for Magura's, HS11 should work nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
