gone is the bare ground, so before I bust something ... finally got around to mounting the 2" studded tires
while I was at it I realized the 3 bolts holding the plywood rack on, were loose. 2 tightened up OK but the one in the middle needed a cpl washers & a nut. gave it another thin coat of polyurethane too. brushed a little on the new washers & nut too

Here is my built from scratch Kona Hei Hei race. 2016 frame, built up with new everything else! 1x 11speed, mix of Shimano XT, XTR and SLX brakes, Spank stem and vibrocore bars, Stans Arch wheelset...I love it!

Only 100mm travel front and back, so not all out like some, but I'm too old and knackered for big jumps, this is great for fast and flowing trails.

What size wheels? Aluminum or carbon. I'm getting up in years and have been thinking about a new bike that will treat my aching joints kindly. I could see this frame in aluminum, with coil over rear shock and a coil front fork. XT drivetrain and brakes. I love Konas. And this bike looks like the perfect ticket for the trails near my house.

thanks, that would have been a nice touch! I was toying with the idea of using a hole saw & jig saw to cut out some voids to make it lighter. but was undecided about the pattern to use. but then thought that I wouldn't be able to make it look nice or that the effort wouldn't be worth it. plus I had already made a significant racket in the basement, just getting that far. I agree there's some potential there. I've seen some nice DIY wood racks & even baskets on the internetI would have countersunk the bolts into the plywood tho!

I thought it was deliberate to "echo" the look of the studded tyres

meanwhile, 43 days later ...
it would be a 1st, if the MTB's studded tires get ridden only once this year. the hybrid has already been out several times in legit winter weather. had to search out the ice a cpl days ago w/ this bike & I found some. but once the ice is gone, we'll be back to the Riddlers pronto
