Kona P2 fork on a non-suspension frame
 
As far as I can tell, the new threadless Kona P2 fork is suspension corrected, maybe for 80mm? I have a frame with a 1 1/8th" threaded headset that I would like to convert to a threadless setup, but I am concerned the Kona fork will throw off the handling, seeing as I prefer a bike that climbs. Comparing the current fork to an older Kona P2 threaded fork, the legs are approx. the same length. I cant find any data, or a new P2 fork, to compare to the old one... anyone know the changes between the new and the old? Anyone know of any non corrected threadless forks I should check out while I'm at it?

I think that post was way to long and can be condensed into the last sentence :o

Measure the axle to crown on both forks. If they are the same or close you are golden.

Problem is I don't have a new P2 to measure against. The old one is pretty dead on, but I'm lookin for threadless.

Check Kona's site or email them, they should be able to tell you the axle to crown. If not, maybe the guys at Bikeman.com or Sheldon Brown can help you.
