Kona messed around with the geometry of the Paddy Wagon this year, and as a result the chainstay length is not compatible with the chain length and the 42t/16t ratios.
Chain tension is impossible to get right as either the chain is too loose (runs out of horizontal drop-out), or too tight (shortening the chain by one section), and you cannot take the back wheel off. Flawed designed and potentially life-threatening problem as my chain almost came off riding fixed. Kona have been informed, but so far have refused to acknowledge problem which should be a recall. Buy with risk..
