well its not exactly the same question as downhill96 which was about Konas in general where yours is about a specific problem.But is it a problem regarding my bike brand and model and a Kona design issue? or is it a shock and or brake issue applicable to the components manufacturer?I'm not trying to pass the buck but I need more details before I can offer an informed opinion.However its the first I've heard about it (which doesn't mean it isn't true).What I do know is if it was a huge problem their would have been a huge recall as a result which hasn't happened.
