Hi all
I am looking at putting a suspension fork on a 2018 kona unit which takes a straight steerer , 1 1/8 I think , 44cm headtube .
Will I find one that has boost wheel thingy to use the current front wheel ?
Wheel size is 27.5 plus so I can shop for a 29er fork too I think
Havent seen anything online like that yet , it all seems to be tapered stuff.Do these forks even exist ?
Could go the headset adapter route but then will I be messing with the geometry too much ?
Any ideas or thoughts much appreciated
Manitou might do some, but you can fit a 1.5 lower headset into the units Integrated headset bottom cup & run a tapered fork, that's what I do with mine.
Thanks , what travel fork did you go with ? did the bottom headset cup mess the geom about though ?
I can't remember the exact numbers but added about 15mm to lower stack, I stuck manitou tower forks on, reduced to 80mm travel
I put some 100mm travel Sids on my unit. These work pretty well for me.
