Tokyo Fixed S2

^^^ I was dealing with the recall when I worked for Kinoko, not Andrew. Unfortunately he might not have been informed about the situation.

If you send him a message telling him to ask Max about it, or to get in touch with Morgan. They will definitely replace them, we bought a stock of forks with which to do it.

I e-mailed Andrew back almost a week ago and sent a mail to the address which was noted on the recall webpage.

Haven't got a mail back from them. Don't know if it has something to do with Easter, but I almost think they're ignoring me...

^ it might take them a few days to deal with the Easter backlog, christ knows I'm having trouble with it.

If all else fails - give them a ring.

let me know what size tyres you can fit on this michaelbeijl, i only have 23c to test - would like to know the biggest you can fit before buying some..

On the Kinoko website they say the maximum tyre clearance is 28c on the S2. I doubt you can fit a bigger tyre than that in the back. Front maybe but I'll have to measure that for you.

After a (very) long while Kinoko finally sent me e-mails back.
It turns out they only have a replacement chrome fork which I don't think looks nice with this build and I have to pay for shipping of my old forks to Kinoko and the new ones.

I think I'll buy some second hand steel or carbon forks instead.

that's a fucking joke.

^i think so too. don't let m get away with this like this. they sell a faulty product, theyll have to shallow the bitter pill. pm mechamorgan on here on how they previously handled this when he still worked there..

It was a misunderstanding, Kinoko will pay the shipping costs to the UK.
So it's all fine. Today I have sent the white forks to Kinoko.
With this paintjob a chrome fork isn't going to look that good but maybe I'll do a respray of the frame and then the chrome forks will look nice.

I'll keep you updated.

Received new tyres today and installed my old fork of my Gazelle.

Rizla clearance with this fork. Clearance is maybe too tight to ride it. I think I'll wait for the new forks which will hopefully arrive soon from Kinoko.

Gear ratio is now 50 x 17.

My new wheels arrived today:

H Plus Son TB14 rims laced to Suntour Sprint hubs 36H.

^got m off mp? shiiit. been looking for tb14/a23 wheelsets on there recently. noice!

Yeah man, got these from Marktplaats.
These wheels are only slightly heavier than the Open Pros but the wider rims ride better and the Suntour hubs run smoother than the Miche ones.

I'm going to sell the Open Pros x Miche wheels.

Went on a 70k ride today. I'm really satisfied how it rides now with this setup.

are those the replacement forks from kinoko? look good! very nice!

Yes they are! They are BLB flat crown forks.

Bought a basket for the Volume Cutter yesterday:

Anyone know where I could get some Volume decals online?

Hi, I bought one of these S2 frames in Kinoko's closing down sale. I'm unsure whether to build or sell onI've yet to build it u yet though. My questions are:
Is your complete build heavy
Do you get any toe clip overlap
How does the bike ride
Many thanks
