yeah i think you might want to worry about those teeth you knocked out after your face went into the dirt or maybe your rim that resembles a quarter moon
man kona stinkys are riding by pros they arnt good enough for a pro pros ride crazy bikes the pro frames are worth more then you stinky (take in mind cam mccauls trek ticket)that frame is better then a stinky complete and an pro bike has fox forks and stuff
wow this discussion sucks, then compare a rememdy slopestyle to it, it can take more than a stinky, 6" travel and only mccaul has one (semenuk has a 4" travel one) and its a hell of a lot lighter and stronger. discussion conclusion: there are better bikes than a stinky with 888s now shut up
Kona's are nice bikes if you buy the frame and build them to your own liking, I ride one myself. They are NOT however the best bikes. No where near. The fact that they are an accessible price to your average guy makes them a good contender though.
true i think i read 700 for stinky now (not sure) i think if you put 200 more in you would have a nicer bike but the cowans i think are all right just cheaper konas are worse
i know people who have and its all over the place that they are crap frames but if you look in broken bikes or some thing in pictures lots of konas strt coming up.
Bass and Cowan are the same frame. I've never seen a cracked stinky in person. The fact of the matter is that there are more Kona's around than other bikes. Do you honestly think Kona would refuse to address a cracking issue if there was one? I've seen more Kona's in person than I have Intenses, and yet I've seen 3 broken Intense frames and only 1 broken Kona - Your going to tell me an Intense M6 is a shit bike?
Either use your brain before commenting, or keep your opinions to yourself, Kid.
wes101 (35 mins ago) konas r cheap so alot of people buy them think they r all intense and hity like a 10ft drop and brake them mabye
with all bikes they have to be used for the purpose, try using a rockhopper, for example, for full on WC DH, it wont survive, but kona's don't do their intended application as well as others, maybe with kona's rep they may want for focus on XC where they wont be doing drops more then 3 foot....
'companies like trek and giant are just as big companies ....... how come u hardy ever see a snapped one of them'
Are you actually taking the piss? Are you completely ignorant of the fact that even team riders were complaining about the headtube snapping on the Session 88 when that was released?
I'm not defending Kona just because I have one, I'm merely correcting someone on a very wrong assumption that theyre making just because every other kid on this website says the same thing.
And Cam, can you learn simple rules of spelling and grammar, please? Its 'specific', the Pacific is a f*cking body of water!
k bunkey letts clear up this argument as you know i dont mind cowans ect. but the chaper konas snap you get what you pay for i guess so kona stuff is good for price if doing small stuff
oh yeah, hmm still thinking for a comeback.......... wait heres one, shut up already. we dont care about whether people like kona or not, and can the owner of this pic please disable comments!
ever heard of ns? polish brand. duncon? polish again. and im in Australia ive just got dual citizenship so i set mine to poland. we get new bikes not long after you
konas were nice back in the day when they were hand built, and the owners cared about making a nice bike. now they are just chinese built peices of shit.
just to try and stop this converstion cause I keep gettin these fucking notices...
konas do make nice bikes not the strongest way they built the metals nor the best welds but because they are also a bit cheaper of a bike you may not always care for them as much, so then you will try anything with it, take them off like 12ft drops... Beacause so many ppl have bought them ridin them and broken, snapped w.e they say kona is shit, basicly its the way ppl ride a bike. like me i hit a tree with my brody awl 06 and I broke a weld i still dont think they're shit its the way I was riding my bike. so now can we put a stop to this womens conversation. like they argue about fuckin clothes just like us argue about wich bikes are shit and whos better.
haha
cheers
zofmg (1 min ago) just to try and drill this dude cause I keep gettin these f*cking bonerz... men do make nice sextoyz not the strongest way they built the asses nor the best dicks but because they are also a bit cheaper of a man you may not always care for them as much, so then you will try anything with it, take them off like 12ft dildos... Beacause so many ppl have bought them ridin them and broken, snapped w.e they say dildos is shit, basicly its the way ppl ride a dick. like me i hit a dick with my face and I broke a tooth i still dont think they're shit its the way I was riding his dick. so now can we put a stop to this womens conversation. like they argue about f*ckin dicks just like us argue about wich dildos are dicks and whos better. haha cheers
Shut up joeylansdown konas stuck balls. They snap all the time! Norco the way to go. The only problem Norco has ever had is the re-call for 2008 on the front triangle. Thats it. So stop talking like you know. Konas stucks point being- www.pinkbike.com/photo/2462797 www.pinkbike.com/photo/2975077
sorry cam1001 you cant talk about frames when your jump bike frame is aluminum. i went through 2 of the stp frames in 4 months. so i switched to cr-mo. i duno though maybe the cheaper giants are shit maybe you just get what you pay for.
lol i was hoping to read through this and just get a conversation between people about how sick this trail is.... but as usual we end up slagging different peoples bikes and generally going completely off topic and ending up with the konas are s**t topic, is this really what pinkbike has become?
and just when you think the arguments are over someone, instead of tying to make an on topic comment, goes and complains about arguments and fears for the future of the site.
There's a jump everywhere likeover the berms there's a jump and that place is like the sickest place I've ever seen must have taken a year or two to build
holy shit, whats deadly about it is when it rains u got the perfect run off for water so the berms and such won't get washed out amazing build by the way someone had a great vision when they planned on makin this
