Description



This amazing Kona mountain bike is up for sale! I purchased it as a reward for myself after completing my university studies a couple of years ago. The first thing I did was customize the specifications to my liking (see list of upgrades), including hand-built wheels.

I had previously ridden the Satori with slightly longer travel when I worked at a Kona dealer and they sent us to Tignes for the weekend! I was very impressed, but for the local trails in the South Downs, it would be too much bike. So, I decided to get a Hei Hei - ironically, the very first bike I sold while working at a bike shop 20 years ago was a Hei Hei! I have been thoroughly impressed with this bike, but I am now going back to hardtails.

List of upgrades:
- Race Face 35mm stem and bars
- Cane Creek 40 headset, Pro carbon spacers
- Ergon grips
- Maxxis Ardent EXO TR tires, F2.4 R2.25
- Shimano SLX hubs, Sapim Lazer spokes, DCR Big Boy (30mm internal) rims. Hand-built!
- SLX cranks, Shimano PF41 BB
- SLX cassette, 11-45
- SLX chain (new, unused)
- SLX shifters
- SLX brakes, including rotors, F180 R160

I could have saved myself some time by simply stating what I didn't change: the seatpost and saddle! As mentioned above, the chain has been replaced for the sale. The overall condition is decent, but the bike has been used off-road, so there are a few things to note.

There is a scuff on the fork stanchion that occurred while riding in mud (pictured). It did not fall or anything like that; I believe a stone got caught between the fork bridge and stanchion for a moment. After noticing it, I dropped and cleaned the lowers to check for internal damage. It does not seem like this will cause any issues.
