I will ask them for a hard a-c limit. the Unit comes with a 470mm a-c rigid fork. most rigid forks are around 480mm, imitating a typical 100mm travel sagged 29er fork. there are some 490-500mm rigid forks on the market designed to imitate a 120-140mm fork at sag. If Kona gives me a hard NO, I can't afford to gamble and experiment with the structural integrity of the frame, not to mention my skull (as thick as it may be).
