MTBriderr, the steer tube is part of the fork. Therefore, the statement "its the fork that is broken" is in fact true. If you wanted to be more specific, you could say "the steer tube is broken," however the former statement would still be true.

haro357, Have you ever thought that a high percentage of pinkbike members own kona's more than any other bikes, so there are far more likely to be more broken kona's than any other bike, but since you don't seem to get the message its THE FORK! Probably due to suntour making the marazochis now. Peace to all!

i find it funny how everyone sees a photo of a broken part, and instantly bashes it. who knows what that bike went through. a dozen cased landings, or anything like that. and everyone forgets, any part on any bike can break. nothing is impervious to abuse. i've seen pics of nearly every fork on the market broken, who cares

Exactly. Forks break no matter what bike they're on. Marzocchis on Konas, Rock Shox on Specialized, Manitou on Trek, and so on. It matters not the brand.
