Quick question,how much adjustment at the rear dropouts does it have? If you could measure the minimum and maximum chainstay lengths I'd appreciate it! Kona's website just lists them as the same as the other hardtails,16.7 inches
thanks,
Doug
I called Kona about this. They told me the shortest position is 16.7" with around 10mm of adjustment. Not exactly what I wanted to hear -- I was hoping the 16.7" measurement was somewhere in the middle.
Boo,Keepin' my Chute then!
But, Kona has trouble with measurements,my Chute is 1/4 inch longer in the toptube and way slacker headtube(like 3 degrees)
and my Dawg is only 14 inches at the seattube,not 15,so,let's actually measure one to see.
haha, finally dragged my bike outside
01 santa cruz chameleon
00 z1 dropoff set @ 4"

not mine, but I couldn't resist ....
Sorry guys been gone for awhile.Have to do that when you are seeling the good stuff Monkey Boy
Anyways the measurements that i have are from 16.5 on the short end to 17.5 on the long end center BB to dropout.Remember though that is my measurement as i see if if that make any sense
BTW Doug i still kept my '02 Chute frame as well

i just built up my new kona scab. how can i resize the pics to fit though?
Photoshop, Paintshop, Paint, any photo program, resize it to whatever the settings are.
What do you think of putting 24" wheels on a p1 to ride for street? Thanks.
Yup that's the 15.5 as they call it TT is 23.3 is what they are calling it.Will get a pic up soon of it all built up as soon as i have some time here
There's the pic it's crappy though because of the bad light in the basement.Will get a better shot up later.The Evil bash guard has been replaced with a K-nine bash ring.The K nine is smaller and looks better

the BB is low enough as it is, any lower and it wouldn't be very ncie to ride
those are some fat tiresOriginally posted by Shmoe

you have no idea just how sweet it is
Yes, that was quite a while ago.. Nice tires for DH.. crappy for the riding i mostly do now (street/dj etc).
Update of mine..it has looked like this for while now...just with more dents and scratches in the fork!
uh...only seeing the red box with the white x in it.....

wow, very clean.
i love that new geekhouse frame.
THESE HARDTAILS ALL ROCK! does a hardtail with a triple clamp fork follow a dual suspension bike off the same big drops and stunts or can you go that big with these bikes? let me know...they are still really cool.
I'd say not quite the same stuff, but you can go really big with some of these hardtails. If you can find any info on Russ Morrell, he has been riding a Balfa Hardtail, and didi try to compete in the RedBull Rampage last year. There is some footage of him hitting a huge drop, followed by another on the hardtail. They say it was 30feet or so, and it looks sooo smooth!!!
in the spirit of the above CLifcat, i'll re-post mine.
I ovalized the headtube/cracked the downtube (fualty heat theatment) so i am getting a new one.... the new ones are made from steel, so it'll be a steel TankAss with hor drops

wow, i can't even imagine a 30 foot drop on a hardtail. seems like it would be painful, but i guess if you do it right it might not be. thats some crazy stuff though. the red bull rampage is insain with full suspension bikes-but a hardtail!?

Do you run your seat like that to make Urban tricks like barspinners and Ex-ups easier to acomplish. I do in on my DH bike because I like to use my knees to lean the bike over and I like to press against the larger part of the saddle. People make fun of me though.
