Hello fellow riders, I know there isn't much info on the Kona Entourage out there, so I wanted to see if anyone has had any issues with putting a dual crown fork on the bike. I exchanged emails with a Kona Tech rep who was convinced that putting a dual crown on the bike would spell disaster and cause the fork to bind up due to the fact that it changes the geometry of the bike and puts a rotational force on the fork. Please let me know if you have any experience with a dual crown setup on the Entourage as my local bike shop says it shouldn't be an issue, and the conflicting information is hard to sort through.

Cheers...

its fine but longer shock would be helpful with it

Axle to crown is 555mm, so if you can get a DC fork to measure the same, handling should be fine. Longer rear shock will raise your BB, which you may not like... I've never ridden any bike and thought "This BB is too low."
