Kenevo Gen1 29er Front and Rear Kenevo

[jooles]

You can look online for various offset bushing Solutions.

the amount of difference comes from size of mounting bolt. You’ll need to give details of the shock, I.e bolt diameter (M8/6) outside diameter of the bushing and length of the bushing.

Hope this helps

the warranty is only for the 2 years after purchase. New motors don't extend it.

I´m pretty sure that you get new warranty time for the motor when you change it.

At least in the EU there is a product liability directive. And every company that does business in the EU area must comply with it.

I wonder if Spesh are looking at this thread thinking “…maybe a long travel full fat eMtb is in demand….”

I suspect such bike may emerge in 2023 …maybe even without Brose hence the delay in development/release ?

whatever they release I’m still utterly blown away by the flexibility and handling of the Kenevo Turbo…

Anyone else care to speculate?!

Yeah this is something I'm looking for in my next bike. I have a Mondraker Level, 29" and 180/170mm travel. Great bike but it's 27.5kg. If a 29" Kenevo came out at around 23kg I'd buy it. There's not much to choose from currently....

A Levo with a Cascade Components long shock kit and a 180mm fork?

It's an option but seems like a fair bit of effort/money and I'd still like more travel in the rear.

29er Kenevo and 22.91KG. Alloy wheels.

Easily possible for a 22KG Kenevo with carbon frame.

 

[yorkshire89]

Did they ever make a carbon frame for a Kenevo?
Even the alloy at that weight is quite tempting, but I don't think I can buy this as a frame only?

I see now my soon to be 29/29 medium shouldn’t be more then !

So I ordered a 29" front wheel and a used tire just to check the clearance on the default Marzocchi Z1 Bomber fork.
And... it's not much, I wouldn't want to ride like that.

The rim is a SunRingle Duroc 40 with 36mm inner width, the tire a used 29x2.5" Maxxis DHF with around 70% of the tread pattern left according to the seller. Tire pressure is just 1 Bar (~14.5 psi), a higher pressure would likely result in even less available space. Also, a narrower rim would likely cause the shape of the tire to be higher instead of wider.

Tire clearance seems to be around 3mm to the Marsh Guard and maybe 5-6mm to the fork.

That’s a bit tight , it’s not just there though . If you let the air out and full compress the fork you might find the crown will hit the tyre .

Hello to everyone.

I've pulled the trigger on a new Kenevo Expert, 25% of listed price. I want to try convert it to a full 29, is anything that I should look at when converting it to a full 29?

Cheers,
Bruno

The tyre will only go flat on the bottom..

The air out of the fork.
The fork crown (the part where the steerer tube and the stanchions are pressed in) might come deeper than the fork arch (the part connecting the lower legs), so it might hit the tire on full compression. Not a thing you want to experience during a ride.

Copy that. Hard for humour to filter thru text

I rode one summer mullet mode. 29" at front, but only max. 2.3 fit in front.

WTF? I thought it was only lowers what was difference between 27" and 29" forks.

They are the only difference , the axle is lower on the 29” lowers so the crown hitting the tyre isn’t an issue !

Are they 27.5 forks? Most people drop a set of 29er forks on it to give the front wheel clearance.

Let's hope you won't have any mud or pebble stones that stick to your tires.
