Hi, I'm new to bike radar and was hoping to get some help. I'm turning a steel 2004 kona explosif into a single speed and I'm trying to locate a dropout with tensioner. My better half has a 2007 model with kona parts yet I can't locate them ( neither can a local kona dealer! ) here's a pic of the 2007 part. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Is your rear frame configured like that to take a bolt on dropout?

    Pics of your frame?

    The 2004 frame is exactly the same as the 2007

    your Kona dealer is useless then.

    try another one.

    as it is a Kona only part they should be able to sort it. not aware of anyone else making them.

    I dont think the Identiti one will fit but you could try one.

    CRC have loads of random Kona bits on sale at the moment, worth having a quick look.

    Thank you very much cooldad, I'd already been on CRC and couldn't locate them. This time round both sides found and ordered and less than half price! Guess they're having a clear out of kona gear

    Happy days
