My 2018 Kona Wozo frame appeared to have a crack in it. I took pictures of the suspected crack and sent it to my Kona dealer. The images were then sent to Kona. After further investigation by Kona, it was determined it was a bad weld from the manufacturer. Kona offered to replace the 2018 Wozo frame with either the 2022 Kona Wo or the 2022 Kona Woo frame. Which frame did I select, what am I doing with the Wozo? Check out this video and get the answers to those questions and more!
Below is the Kona Warranty taken directly from the Kona Website.
LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY ON BICYCLE FRAME (USA, CANADA, UK & EUROPE ONLY)*
Kona further warrants to the original owner that the frame of this new Kona bicycle purchased from an authorized Kona dealer shall be free of defective materials or workmanship for the lifetime of the product. This is ONLY VALID ON NON-CARBON FRAMES. During this warranty period, Kona shall repair or replace, at its sole option, the bicycle frame if Kona determines the frame is defective and subject to this limited warranty. The color on the warranty frame may vary from the color of the original frame. The original owner shall pay all labor and shipping charges connected with the repair or replacement of the bicycle frame. This warranty is only valid in the UK, USA, Canada, and Europe.

A few people have asked me about getting "Old Man ~ Fat Bike" stickers. You can purchase a small (3" x 1.44") sticker for $2.50 or the large (4" x 1.91") sticker for $4.00. If you would like to order one or more please visit the the following link;
www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...
Once I see the transaction I can contact you via email and get your mailing address and find out exactly which sticker or stickers you want.

Love that green! Glad Kona backed up their warranty and you'll be set with a new bike. Re that small crack at the seat cluster, you might be able to find a shop that can repair it, then get a repaint. Happy trails!

Hey @Mike-vd2qt, thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments! I'm pleased with Kona and the new frame. As far as the Wozo frame goes, that bad weld has been there since day one and has survived everything I've thrown at it and it hasn't gotten worse. As far as I'm concerned, I don't see any reason to repair the frame. I'll keep a close eye on it and if gets worse I'll look into getting it repaired. 🙌

Since you get to keep the Wozo, a welding shop with a TIG welder should easily be able to make a nice looking repair to the frame and be as good as new. Then you can have 2 reliable fatties. I spent years doing fabrication and welding and have done a lot of aluminum so I know a nice repair will last and hardly be noticeable if you can match the paint. I do love the new frame and that color is the bomb. I love it ✌

Glad Kona came thru, new frame looks great, love the color! Bummer on the difference on rear hub spacing, but the 197mm will be great. Off the top of my head the Surly Wednesday is the only other current bike that uses the 177mm spacing. Cool that Kona didn’t require the cracked frame back, or proof of destruction.
@OldManFatBike
@OldManFatBike Жыл бұрын
Yes, I was very pleased that Kona honored their lifetime frame warranty! The green is starting to grow on me. Not sure how I feel about the wider rear spacing. I guess I'll figure that out once I'm able to actually ride it. I don't understand the advantages or disadvantages of a wider rear hub? I guess there are pros and cons to everything! You've got a lot more knowledge in that department than I do @ElevationEveryWeekend! Perhaps you could make a video on that if you haven't already done so? I was super surprised that Kona didn't want the frame back, or proof of destruction!! It'll be nice to have a spare bike going forward 😊
@ElevationEveryWeekend
@ElevationEveryWeekend Жыл бұрын
@@OldManFatBike I think there are really only two advantages to the 197mm rear end. It usually means more tire clearance for bigger tires (if you want/need it) and it’s by far the most common rear spacing out there now so has the most support. The 177mm will be a bit more nimble, which probably is better for your riding style and conditions, but I think you will adjust just fine once you can get the Enve’s converted over! I guess technically the greater spoke triangulation of the wider rear spacing is stronger too (think Boost spacing concept for MTB’s), but I doubt the 177mm was anywhere near deficient in that aspect.

Поздравляю с получением новой рамы, и я рад что это рама kona wu, стандарт задней втулки 197мм сейчас очень распространен, на моем icebreaker 2016г уже шла такая ширина. Вы будите собирать почти новый велосипед на раме kona wu? это не слишком дорого будет? может быть перенести подходящие детали, а не подходящие продать?

Да, это может быть дорого в долгосрочной перспективе, но я думаю, что это того стоит! Я решил просто оставить Wozo в качестве запасного или резервного. Всегда приятно иметь такую возможность.
