My Definitive 2010 Kona Unit Review

My Kona Unit has gone through a myriad of changes since I bought it in November last year. It’s still an insanely fun bike to ride and I’m pleased with how versatile it’s become. Greeny is my race bike, all mountain trail bike, single speed bike, down hill bike and I’ve even thought about converting(click to read the full post)

Fox F29′s… now at 80mm

Well. I gave them 12 hours and 200kms on the bike, but the 120mm of travel just wasn’t working out. Most of the time it was good and cruisey (especially with the 120mm of squish), but in technical sections or uphill grinds the bike would handle way too unpredictably.

20/365 – Oh Kona Unit, How I Love/Hate Thee

It’s the most fun bike ever, but a creaky drivetrain makes it the most frustrating one in my stable as well. The style of the photo was well stolen from Laura‘s latest 365 photo.

It’s Christmas Time for Greeny

So after a few rides on Greeny, I worked out the few upgrades that needed to happen. These are them: Thomson Elite 410mm Layback Seatpost. While setting the bike up, I worked out that to have the right pedal stroke I’d need about 350mm or so above the seat collar. The standard Kona one was(click to read the full post)

2010 Kona Unit Single Speed

I’ve owned my 2010 Kona Unit for almost a year now. You can read my massive review of ‘Greeny’ here. So I picked up my new bike from TBSM on Tuesday night. It’s a 2010 Kona Unit. Single speed. 29er. Sexy. After leaving it stock and riding it for a 20km spin around Loftus last(click to read the full post)

Did I mention I sold the Gary Fisher Cobia?

Cause I totally did. Got an okay price for it and it went to a good home, so you’ve gotta be happy with that. I was a little sad to see it go, as it was massive fun to ride, especially as a single speed. The following photos are it’s legacy in my head and(click to read the full post)

Knobbies on the 29′er

The single speed frame is still being painted. It feels like it’s already been forever but it’s only been two weeks. Another two and I’ll hopefully have it back and built up. Fingers crossed. The flip side is that I’ve been riding my Gary Fisher Cobia a whole bunch more. Although mainly as a commuter(click to read the full post)
