Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

I just bought some 152 Miranda cranks advertised ISIS cranks but they don’t fit ?
any ideas

 

[Doomanic]

AFAIK, only Praxis currently produce cranks for the Mahle motor in the SL.

Upgradebikes for Praxis, if you're in the UK

Anyone tried a larger chainring? I was hoping to for a 36

I thought that Rob had fitted Miranda cranks ?

 

[nB2000]

Looks like The SL (Mahle) motor needs a Praxis crank with an M30 interface.

Rob has a FF Ken, not an SL.

 

[Stevie H]

Why’s he post up on this KSL thread about fitting the shorter crank arms ?

 

[Doomanic]

I've done a search by user name and the word "crank" and, as far as I can see, he hasn't said anything of the sort in this thread, can you quote the post where you think you saw it?

 

[Stompweaver]

The only option at the moment for shorter cranks is Praxis. The Mahle motor uses a custom M30 spline interface and there are no aftermarket options other than to buy shorter Praxis crank arms. 5dev said that they are looking at making them for SL’s but as yet they haven’t released anything.

I think that your right I must have mixed it up with the section on shorter cranks using the 152s dam

Many thanks I’ve looked all over the net and phoned a few bike shops. I had a S3 KSL and pedal strikes really were no problem. Changed it for a S4 with the 170mm cranks and getting a load more strikes.

Big Sale on KSL in US.

Nice! However, here in Europe, I still see the full prices.

Probably because its yellow. I am sure all the red, white and blue ones have already been sold!
In Canada, they are full price and not available.

Hi Guys,

need some help. I had removed my Push 11.6 for some maintenance. Now i didnt get the damper between the spacers at the lower Rear Shock Eye. the Space is so closley and it seems that is a way to small for the damper eye. Do you know any tricks to get in?

Remove the rear wheel, flip the bike upside down.

Install the upper bolt first, then use the rear triangle as leverage.

Hi all. Has anyone tried a larger chainring? The compatibility guide says
“Largest size w/chain guide: 34t”
Here:

Components & Compatibility

support.specialized.com

But I can’t see space in that guide for a 34 which has a 3.62mm larger radius (7.24mm diameter) than the std 32.

Thanks. I’d love to know if anyones solved this.

 

[nB2000]

Thanks. He’s getting Deslackinators

I got the Deslackinators and they do very successfully limit free-stroke of the lever as required. (You get a whole set of sizes).
So, the lever bite point is set by the bleed and the adjuster screws, then the rest position of the lever is adjusted by choosing the right Deslackinator.

 

[KnollyBro]

Knolly you’ll just sell me yours when v2 comes out. Then you can get your red white and blue one. After all. You’re ‘Merican too.

¿Hablas español también? Estoy contento con mi KSL y Levo SL en negro. ¡La versión dos solo será una copia de lo que ya tengo!

 

[BikingBad]

What? No KSL crank swap how-to video on YT? Well, there is one now, check it out!

^You did not show how to use the self-extractor as seen here, especially if the cranks are stuck on:

Cranks were relatively easy to remove so loosening the self extractor wasn’t necessary.

I swapped my cranks down from 170mm to 165mm since the bike does sit low. I think I prefer the original length but wanted to avoid the potential strikes in the low BB position. BTW if someone wants to buy the Carbon 170mm lightly used, DM me they're just collecting dust and won't be installed again.

Here's a solution for a dropper post. Short insertion lenght and stack height, travel reduction with spacer and it's light.
Only 30.9 and 31.6 but you can use shim.

Resolve Dropper Post

The Wolf Tooth Resolve Dropper Post is the first dropper post to use a self-bleeding cartridge. It has the shortest stack height of any dropper post on the market, has a short insertion depth, is one of the lightest dropper posts, and is completely serviceable at home via the Wolf Tooth Right to...

My KSL is setup mullet. I have never ridden it as a 29'r.
