I also attend events and demos at the weekends and generally spread the Kona Groove.”

What’s your favourite component?SB: “The saddle coz it stops the seat post hurting my bum.”
Where does this bike excel?SB: “Everywhere.”
What’s the next tweak for the bike?SB: “Think I may go back to clipless pedals or maybe a 27.5 rear wheel..?”
Fork setup?SB: “The fork had a custom tuned damper for me from FAST Suspension, so it’s middle of the range with adjustments.”
