What crank is on your Kona, RonH ? Many CX bikes come with 130 BCD cranks which won't take a 34 tooth ring. I take it yours is a 110.
I didn't get to ride today. Had to drive to the Atlanta area for a family Christmas gathering. Seeing the extended family was great, but driving on I-20, I-285, I-85 and I-985 was ridiculous. I don't know how in the world anyone could face driving in that mess every day.
