Just changed my 1999 Marin to one buy, got a hope 32T on a deore hollowtech square taper crank and 11-28 8spd cassette on rear ,at 55 I only cruise down the canal path so I thought I'd go for it ,I love it ,she is so silent and rides like 👍 butter ,I put some insanely beautiful rockshox air forks up front and I love that bike 🚲 🤟💯🇬🇧 Hardtail 4 life 👍🙏💯🇬🇧❤🇺🇲🤠,I think I'm sticking with square taper because shimano BBs are just so smooth strong and fantastic 👏

You know it would be awesome a short test drive after you do all that work just so the viewer can see how the bike looks from that era

@roha2317 3 года назад

Great video, I loved that you let the "maintenance sounds" dictate the video instead of talking the whole time. Maybe you could have cleaned the bike while disassembling? That bottom bracket could use some attention. Quick tip: Don't use the rounded hex when undoing a bolt, use the other side it will also give you more leverage.

@CowboyTomi 3 года назад

Yes, thank you for the tip!

I have a 1998 Lava Dome and need to put a larger range cassette on it. Thanks for the guide! BTW, love that bike even after 20+ years.

I'm about to buy a Kona world bike Rasta 3 speed, nexus internal I think it's an 06 07, good commuter, it's in excellent shape, I think it's kinda rare, red letters flat black, I'll prolly put a shorter stem, brake pads, and maybe new chain, I'll do a tune up.

@maxlabarbera5797 3 года назад

Fun to watch. I always take all the parts off and clean the frame before building. The water that came out when you removed the cranks is worrying

@CowboyTomi 3 года назад

Thank you! Yeah the water came from me hosing it down right before taking it apart.

First of, I want to say that I love your videos ! Very calming ans satisfying to watch. I have one question on this build, why did you use a derailleur hanger ? Thanks a lot !

@CowboyTomi 3 года назад

Thank you! Good question. I used a hanger because the cassette range was too big for the original derailleur. And the hanger allowed it to shift to the biggest ring without any interference.

@PaulMazzolapdm Год назад

How confident are you in that wheelset being set up tubeless? I have a pair of Matrix Singletrack wheels I've been thinking of going tubeless on, but I'm not sure it'll work with the old rims.

@CowboyTomi Год назад

I am always somewhat confident in using old rims for tubeless. It definitely helps if its a tubeless tire. However, these were a little difficult because they were not tubeless tires. Just make sure the taping is good and then give it a shot.

@christopherchong3899 2 года назад

Hi Tomi - great channel. Just a question if you have started this bike for bikepacking? If so, do you think the bike to be better suited with a front suspension or rigid fork for bikepacking? 90s Kona's appeared to feature the P2 rigid fork, before the front suspension fork was introduced. Cheers.

@CowboyTomi 2 года назад

Great question! I haven’t gone bikepacking with this one yet, but I know for a fact they’d be great for bikepacking. The fork has enough give to glide thru gravel trails and ride along paved roads with a good rolling speed. I can’t tell you if one is better than the other but I can tell you that you’ll have so much fun no matter which type of bike you choose.

@techos32 3 года назад

Awesome build!! Quick question. Could you have used the old chain bolts or did you choose to buy the new green bolts?

@CowboyTomi 3 года назад

Thanks! No, I couldn't have because they accommodated holding two chainrings instead of only one. So I had to get 1x bolts that were shorter to only hold one chainring.

@StasStas-r7e 8 месяцев назад

Hello, can you please tell me if I can keep the old connecting rod system? I'll try to clean them well

@trevlyndeklerk6266 3 года назад

So when doing this ghetto tubeless, I know its not a tubeless rim but can you set it up with a rigid tyre? Or must the tyre at least be tubeless compatible?

@CowboyTomi 3 года назад

Good question, these non-tubeless tires happened to work on a tubeless set up, but it was tough. I'd say it would have a 50% chance of seating.

What is the rear hub and free hub body of the bike you are using?

@CowboyTomi 3 года назад

@ondrejmanych5688 3 года назад

Hi, these Trail boss tires are capable of tubeless? I have them on my Lava dome 2021 and was wondering if they can handle it. They are not labeled as tubeless tho...

@CowboyTomi 3 года назад

Very good question, these are not tubeless ready, but I went for a tubeless set up anyway. The tires filled right up and has been sealed without any air leaks. It has kept its psi level for quite some time now since this build was done.

@Colonist83 2 года назад

What's the purpose of the extension on the rear derailleur

@CowboyTomi 2 года назад

Great question - Since I installed a bigger cassette (11-46t) on this bike, this Shimano Deore derailleur needed a boost to reach those extra teeth on the big rings.

1x is a downgrade, plus it looks terrible on a classic 26 inch bike. Steel Kona's are awesome bikes otherwise.

@CowboyTomi Год назад

I wouldn't call it a downgrade, the gearing ratio still compensates for the original 3X8 it had and it's lighter. The purpose was to make things more simple and actually take it out mountain biking so I was never going to use those two extra rings in the first place. Old Kona's are amazing!
