Finally! The Karate Monkey and Vida are back! Timely because I’m in the market for bars and the sweep is super important. Had 12 degrees on my mind but 10 should do the trick! PNW has a dropper shock post. I’d love to see them send you one of those to test. That’s the only way I could justify swapping out my Transfer… more great stuff, thanks!
Alright Man, love the video! How does it feel on proper mtb trails? Looking at either one of these or a more aggressive hardtail.. but the versatility of this bike is super appealing!
I really like the frame bag on your Kona Roe (spelling?…sorry). I like the geometry of that steel frame, but I would want a suspension fork, add my Rock Shock Seat post and flat bars with my Ergon 5 grips. 2.25” Schwalbe MTB are my favorite. I imagine that build to be my dream, One-For-All, solution. Can you please give me your thoughts On whether such a build is even possible?
I briefly had a dropper and promptly ditched it in favor of the OEM non-dropper. They are too jiggly and now that i have touring racks on my K.M., completely useless.
Curious how tall you are and how the medium KM fits you? At 5’10” I’m trying to figure out what size would fit me best, M vs L, as the reach seems a good bit shorter than other frames these days but I prefer the shorter seat tube.
I've been eyeing PNW to upgrade my dropper post and this just about seals the deal!
Yeah man can’t go wrong with them! Take care Burke!

Nice review and great production value. Do you set up a tripod to get the solo shots of you riding? (Not the pov)
Yep exactly ! Sometimes can be cumbersome toting around a tripod but for reviews and showcasing a how something rides you can beat it. !
@@JoshRomeroYT makes for great footage!
Very nice!
What would be your ideal set up? A do it all. MTB / Bikepacking set up?

Bike looks dialed!
hi if i using frame karate monkey 2014 can use this dropper for internal cable or external cable?

Medium fits me like a glove! I’m 5’11 i would go with a M but just my opinion
