09 Kona Hei Hei 29 and a King Kahuna 29. Had these for a bit. Back injury slowed me down on getting them built. Still swapping out parts on the hardtail. Finally finished swapping the parts over on the full susp. I've had one very short ride on it.

Yes sir
interesting.
What's that Hei Hei weigh in at? Still 3.5" of rear travel or did they up it to 4?

Stock weight was close to 30#. Still 3.5" in the rear. Basically I kept the new brakes, shifters,derails, crankset,frame and fork. Bars,stem,grips,chain, cassette, headset, wheelset and tires were swapped on to my old Hei Hei 29. Took my old parts and moved them to the new bike. Added frame tape, bashguard, fender and splash guard. I use a shorter stem than comes stock and an offset seat post. Just personal prefference. Weights in at 29#. You could go lighter but it is a heck of a lot cheaper for me to lose the weight than the bike. Still playing with the Fox fork. Sure liked my Reba.
Most of the Fox forks I've ridden/demo'd have been finicky and "not all that" in my opinion.
I too have had better results with Rebas.

ooooo..........sweet eye candy!!!bet they'll ride sweet when you get to feelin up for it!congrads =)
Finally got to ride the new toys. No epics but just ride. Dig the Bejesus out of both of them.
Jury is still out on the forks.
The FSA wheel set that came stock on the hardtail didn't feel flexy. I was kinda worried about that because I ain't no skinny mini. Handled every thing nicely. Should have them set up tubeless this weekend.

Both Fox Forks right? I was less than impressed with the F29 that graced the first Monkey Butt 29er.
I've never been let down by a Reba yet however.
same here. I love my reba but the foxs do look nice.
Got the Fox forks pretty much dialed.
I miss my Rebas
