Finding sizing information about my Kona Cinder Cone 07

max丨mo

I've had a pretty good look trawling around the net for this information but haven't had much luck so far.

I was wanting to find out the maximum travel fork my 2007 Kona Cindercone could take, steerer width and length of fork sizing, and also what size bottom bracket and headset etc. it takes, in case I want to upgrade parts in the future.

I have found this geometry information from the Kona website:

Geometry
Frame sizes 14" 16" 17" 18" 19" 20" 22"
Head angle 68.1° 68.2° 68.7° 68.7° 68.7° 68.7° 68.7°
Seat angle 71.6° 71.7° 71.7° 71.7° 70.7° 70.7° 70.2°
Top tube 21.7" 22.2" 22.7" 23.1" 23.7" 24.2" 25.2"
Chain stay 16.1" 16.1" 16.1" 16.1" 16.1" 16.1" 16.1"
Head tube 4.5" 4.5" 4.5" 4.5" 5.1" 5.9" 6.5"
BB height 12.2" 12.2" 12.3" 12.3" 12.4" 12.4" 12.4"
Standover 29" 29.9" 30.4" 30.9" 31.6" 32.4" 33.6"

If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be eternally grateful!
Thanks in advance, and apologies if this is in the wrong section of the forum.

What's the reasoning for the longer travel requirement?

Standard fork travel on the 2K7 Cindercone is 100mm
Fame/fork geometry is a science, longer forks could jeopardise the steering head strength and/or totally screw the handling characteristics around
If I for any reason were to be looking at a longer fork on my Kona Kula which came out with 100mm front squashers, I wouldn't exceed 120mm, but I'd take the quality over quantity approach and look at a quality 100mm fork

As above. 100mm is best but you'd probably get away with 120mm at a push. If you get a 120mm fork make sure that it's adjustable as you may find that it rides a lot better at 100m as intended. If you want even more travel, I'd look for another frame.
