Triple clamp forks on kona

[Matthew Paterso]

Hey

Would anyone recommend fitting a pair of Marzocchi Junior T forks to a Kona Scab hardtail? The
headtube is reinforced, but should I just stick with my single crown Z1 Wedge.

Thanks.

I do not see a reason why you can't, but why in the world would you want to put a long travel fork
on a hardtail?

For the same reason you put a 5" fart-pipe and an aluminium bookshelf spoiler on the back of a stock
Honda civic. Dewd! Where _have_ you been?

That is a variable wheelbase frame. It is the latest thing.
