Hi,
I'm trying to replace the original Kona Impact 1 1/8" threaded headset on a Kona Lava Dome. The stack height of the Impact is ridiculously low, around 32mm and I'm having a nightmare trying to find a suitable replacement.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The Kona Impact headsets came with an Allen key pinch bolt instead of a lock ring. Mine got overtightened and damaged. If somebody out there has one of those bad boys that would be amazing too.. 🙂
Thanks,
Gabs
Try over on retrobike. Someone on there must have one or some spare parts.
I used this ritchey one on my old kona, it was about 1mm taller than the original impact but worked fine
I held one of those together with a jubilee clip round the knurled top ring for months. SJS is probably worth a look -

Hi,
I have a brand new old stock replacement available in original box direct from Kona for original rap of £35 plus p and p. Have a look on retro bike under NOS KONA. Email robin.stones@tesco.net if interested.
Thanks everyone!
Some computer issues kept me away for a bit. In the meantime I ended up with a Brand-X headset. It worked out perfectly with the short little steerer I had. 🙂
