Fastest i've got endomondo at was 28mph, if I remember right it was on the road going down a hill in the highest gear :lol: Its pretty accurate, and it gives you a map route, calories burned, avg speed, distance and top speed after each ride. Not bad for a free phone app

Personally I stick up for kona as they get so much sh*t from 10 year old's or bike snobs. I mean I know kona crack/snap, but the point I wish all the haters would understand is that kona don't particularly crack more than any other make, its just because they have a 'bad name' from bike snobs, as soon as a picture of 1 snapped frame comes up, everyone has a field day because 'all the kona frames must be bad'

So you think a kona frame is only bike to snap? How about old demo frames? trek sessions? In the grand scale of things, very few 'new generation' kona frames actually snap. Its just because of all the bad kudos that kona have, people see one snapped frame and suddenly hundreds of operator frames snap.. I think you'l find alot more session of demo frames sitting broken in a skip that new kona ones
