You must treat your bikes really badly then. Mines fine after 2 years.

And the rims are nothing to do with Kona/the fact it's a stinky.

I race 4x in the NPS, I ride street/park sometimes, I ride downhill, hopefully gonna race DH next year, I dirt jump a bit and do the odd XC ride, why?

I used to have a 2005 Kona Stinky, which is supposedly the best frame that kona has come out with (i am going to get flamed for this) but it was ok. If I were to get a higher end and better feeling bike I would either go with specialized or Turner.

BTW here are pics of both the 09 bikes:

well the 08 Stinky is great (i have one) it doesnt fall apart, last week i crashed and broke my left collarbone (too slow hitting a drop) the right pedal (kona jackshit) hit the ground and loss 2 pins, but the rims (sun s type) are true and nothing has play... i have no videos but i made a free rider 2 auto (use mtb)
