I still have my kona coiler! amazing and durable! Ive put thousands of miles on it all types of riding lots of urban offroading and my girl _still_ has the original bushings on it... bought it new and it was worth every cent! Multiple sets of tires brakes and pads and a few chains later. Kona is 100% worth it and its awesome you got a stinky! I need to replace my gears and cassette soon because the teeth are all too rounded out! Everything else has been solid af and im getting the hayes brakes again this winter. I could not have been happier with it! I have a bunch of other bikes but my Kona is my hands down favorite.
Just bought a 2010 stinky! First real mtb ever, just getting into it at age 39, quit drinking little over 8 months ago and need to get my cardio back and get into shape. Cool bike, great story, nice to see some kindness left in the world still. grip it n rip it
oh lord, how lucky you are, that's the setup of most common DH and Freeride shredders at those times, Marzocchi upfront, fox at the rear, Kona frame xD. Those were the days' bro
My friend, I was very happy about the video, I always wondered about the channel name, but now it is clear to me. You are doing a great job and I think your intentions and actions are great. Great video, thank you for the story. Keep up the good work and have fun buddy. Ride on
That's actually my fave Stinky, you have there mate. Nice one. Something about that 05 version in that dope Military Green and Black colour.. I've just picked up a Kona Bass 2008 Paul Basagoitia Edition. Gold and UPS Brown colour. 😂 Have fun.
that random act of kindness got me my dream bike i got a dee luxx the seat post is stuck but nothing i can do am not spending £100 to pull the seat mite just look for a larger frame
True that, to get a nine speed derailer from the local bike store they said it’s on back order till 2023!!! I’m probably going to get a new cassette and make it at eight or 12 speed we’ll see what I can do with it soon…
Thanks, still love my hard tail but this thing is going to be a blast once I figure it out! Not used to the bike bouncing on a landing lol. Thanks for watching and your comment 🤙
I dread the day I have to pedal this bike uphill lol, but I still got to get some parts for it to get it rolling LBS said nine speed derailer‘s are on back order till 2023!!! So I might get one used off eBay or I might try something completely different… not sure yet. It’s crazy at first it you couldn’t get a bike, now you can’t get parts for a bike 🤬🤬🤬 I need this thing to be rolling now! Haha
@@TimberRides has a sram X 9 gear shifter and cassette to match. If it’s to much of a pain to find what I need I might just get a hole new set up for the gears…
@@mtbridersanonymous9152 I am almost positive I have an x9 at home. Will look and let you know. I installed it used it one ride and took it off. Will message you later.
@@mtbridersanonymous9152 hey man! I also have a 2005 Kona Stinky and just recently went through upgrading parts on it. You can use a Zee 10 speed derailleur and modify it to have to correct cable pull ratio to work with a 9 speed cassette and shifter. One of the pros to using the 10 speed from Zee is its a clutch derailleur so no more chain slap. And since most everyone is on to 11 and 12 speeds, you can get the Zee stuff for pretty damn cheap! I also put on a Zee crankset. For the forks, I couldnt find a seal kit for the original forks, so I bought a set of RST Killah forks off of a Suron E-bike. Works amazingly for the price. You get use to the uphill with this bike as well. Its just a bit brutal to start is all. Once youre use to it, its like any other bike! Enjoy the new bike man! I’ve had mine for 7+ years.
Hey Man, is somewhere online a club with Stinky owners? I have one ‘05. Actually It was my dream bike when I was a kid and couldn’t afford it back then.

There’s no marking on the bike for the size but I measured and it’s 15 inches, so it’s a small. Also I think there was only a couple sizes for this bike when it was made. Either way I’m too big for it so I will have some fun with it for a while but then will be repurposing it also
@@lDOGBOGl I’m not sure but check later. When I got this bike the wheels, tires, cassette and rotors were pretty new. All I had to do was bleed the brakes attach the chain and derailer and get some new cables

Super fun to ride, still need to develop a better pre-load that I’m not used to with the full suspension
