2011 Kona Hei Hei 29.
Changed the saddle because it was my favorite and changed the wheels because wheels are what we do.

Only have a few rides so far.

How do you like it? I liked the Hei Hei as a 26 inch bike but really didn't like the way the 29 rode. Couldn't really place why, but it just felt kind of "off" to me. Like those wheels though. :thumb:

MMcG the chainstays are the same length. They changed the the rocker and seat tube diameter. It feels stiffer under load like when you have to ratchet crank around a corner. I'm really liking the way it handles so far.

Pesqeeb thanks on the wheels. Stan's Flow, Phil Wood black double butted spokes, Chris King 32 hole hubs and Geax Saguaro tires set up tubeless.:weee:
