the kona is waaay out of the norcos league,
if you want,
quality, reliability, the sickest fr hardtail ever get the kona(my bro has one and its sick!!!),
if you want,
bad quality, unreliability(i know from friends with them), and not being a little bit bashed cause you ride a kona then buy the norco

You're kidding right?

The name on the frame doesn't have anything to do with the reliability of the parts.

The 2007 Sasquatch has a great spec on it.

no......
thats just what the bike companies ordered i guess
like the 2007 stinkys have 170 mm 888s
and 888s are usually 200 mm
so i guess kona wanted 140 and norco wanted 160

Ohh...
Sorry, I must have read something aboout the oil levels in the fork, and how it can effect the amount of travel the 55 has... Maybie in confusing something with somehting else.

two bash rings man... ive lost my chain with an e 13... never with my blackspire

Then obviously you didn't have it set up right...
The system with two bash rings is heavy, and it's a pain in the ass when you want to get a different sized chain ring. Also on some bikes the dual rings don't fit.

nope... that e 13 never cooperated

For me it was about how comfortable i was on the bike. I love Norcos but i just didn't feel right on my friends Sasquatch. The cockpit felt too short, I test rode a 5-0 and it just felt so right for me so I bought it. Brand loyalty can only go so far.
