I got this Kona Blast for $50 and have moved my 1500w rear hub over to it because my previous frame had rim brakes (an old chromo steel Marin), and figured the disc brakes would be a good upgrade.
It is working okay, however when I brake hard on the front the wheel tweaks to the left quite a bit, enough that the tire nearly touches the fork. I realize this can be either quick release spindle loose/slipping, the fork twisting, or the wheel flexing (or some combination).
I'm wondering if it is worth it to upgrade the fork on this bike and if so what would be a good option? Also what about brakes, is it worthwhile to upgrade to hydrolic brakes, or just save up and watch for a better bike? I mostly use for commuting and some smooth trails, not hard offroad riding.
