Hey all, pretty new to biking and having a Kona, like a week ish new.

I love my Kona, it’s been a joy already for commuting and riding some gravel trails near me.

I don’t do mountain biking, just hasn’t been something that interests me. I got the Kona for commutes and eventual bikepacking trips. However I enjoy road rides and logging miles. Which leads me to my main point, how small of tires can I comfortably put on the Kona Unit? Obviously I will still be on gravel trail/country back roads at times but sometimes my miles take me on stretches of pavement and my current wheels are pretty big for churning the road.

I don’t mind having the weight of the Kona while riding, just looking for slimmer tires to roll smoother/quicker. Or maybe there’s another thing to try?

I bought the bike off marketplace but pretty sure wheels are stock. Picture attached to help.

This might be a stupid post or make no sense but I’m just tryna log miles on my bike with slicker wheels to help. Thanks!

Got a Kona Unit X recently, absolutely buzzing about it. Now I want a proper front basket for it, Wald 137 or similar, mainly for shopping runs and general groceries trip round. Trouble is I can't find a front rack compatible. Not Pelago Commuter or Surley 8 pack. Has anyone managed to fit one? My setup 29x2.6" tyres, 110x15mm Boost thru-axle. Looking for recommendations so I can search on-line. Mounting gotchas, alternatives, anything — I'll take it.
