    Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

    Did anyone here actually do a motor swap using the kids bike? Can you easily "derestrict" it? Is the chainring usable for an adult and does the chainline work with an "old" AXS kit? I think you would probably need cranks at least - SRAM Dub compatible as well like the adult Transmission kits...

    Mahle SL 1.1 to SL 1.2 - What's Possible and What's Different ?

    Anyone here actually swapped the 1.2 motor from the kids HT LSL? You can currently get it for only 2k€ in Germany. I was wondering - how to remove the limitation - if the stock 155mm cranks are usable for adults - compatibility of the chainring with non-Transmission AXS - if there might...

    Levo Gen 3 Cascade Link 2022+ Levo Long Shock Kit

    That's really helpful, thank you! Same weight category here :). So you switched to the alloy version and it works better for you? Did you notice any differences when riding? Do you feel it's a little stiffer or any other difference or is it just a little less of a hustle? Thank you!

    Levo Gen 3 Cascade Link 2022+ Levo Long Shock Kit

    Hey there, I'm about to buy a long shock kit for my S-Works S5 (fitment shouldn't be an issue on that size I suppose). Cascade writes on their website that the new alloy version is also suitable for carbon frames and is supposed to be stiffer and therefore protects the frame better against...

    Review Outbound Lighting - EVO/Hangover DH package

    I really wonder why these lights aren't more popular since they seem to be the only no separate battery option with a wide angle / multiple leds. Import fees and shipping costs are insane unfortunately - it's the only thing holding me back right now. Almost no reviews on YouTube is a bummer...

    Levo Gen 3 Gen 3 Levo Motor Noise

    Finally got to ride my 2022 Levo after being injured and building it up for months. Very disappointed to hear that sound on the first rides. I already got history with Levo Motors, since my 2020 frameset motor had to be replaced under warranty. I really had high hopes for that 2.2 motor - turns...

    Kenevo SL Has anyone changed their dropper post on their Kenevo SL?

    Short update on this topic: OneUp 210 on my S5 KSL isn't working unfortunately. Shimmed down to 190 it might propably work, but I decided to go with a BikeYoke Revive 185 instead. Sooooo smooth this thing... crazy. It's even better than my 170 AXS Reverb on the Levo. Actuationwise of course not...

    Kenevo SL Has anyone changed their dropper post on their Kenevo SL?

    Cheers mate! I don't have the bike yet, but will measure as soon as it's built up.

    Kenevo SL Has anyone changed their dropper post on their Kenevo SL?

    True. Didn't count that. My fault. 110 over seat collar actually is around 100mm in his photo - with 210 one up this actually means 297 insertion length including the actuator - 100 = 197 inserted into an S3 frame. Wow. That's 47mm above geo chart. Can anyone add more reallife measurements to...

    Kenevo SL Has anyone changed their dropper post on their Kenevo SL?

    Actually it has 252 max insertion. 210 = 282 insertion. The measurement above was 110 over seat collar with 210 oneup and S3 frame. Should actually be 132. So I guess actual max insertion is a bit more than what geo chart says.

    Are you sure on an S5? Mathematically it should have 230.

    Kenevo SL Has anyone changed their dropper post on their Kenevo SL?

    Could be a 180 OneUp on this photo. Technically 180 OneUp should be around 35 mm above seat collar.

    Kenevo SL Has anyone changed their dropper post on their Kenevo SL?

    Yes, 180'd be better for you. 60mm shorter total - so you put it in 35mm less than your current 210 OneUp and it'll be 1 inch shorter. You'll have more leverage overall to find the sweetspot for you ride height.

    Kenevo SL Has anyone changed their dropper post on their Kenevo SL?

    If anyone needs more insertion or lower post overall the OneUp 180 is the sweetspot imo. If you believe this source the 180 is actually 60mm shorter in total length while being obviously only 30mm shorter in dropper height. If you take the measurements above on an S3 frame (420mm seattube) with...

    Trek Rail with Fox DHX2 coil

    300lbs including the bike? That's how I'm running a 650lbs spring (Rail 5 XL) and think it's pretty spot on. It's another shock (Marzocchi Bomber CR) though.
