Another 16mm on those Kona drop outs is going to result in a pretty long/spindly cantilevered arm between the hub and the seat stays. Would that seat stay/dropout joint survive the extra load? Probably fine for a lighter/gentler rider, but I'd worry about the welds on the seat stays cracking with more abuse....
