    Kenevo Gen1 Official 2018/2019 Kenevo thread

    Are those 2.6's or 2.8'? I really want to go to a 2.6 but don't want to lose 1/4" in ground clearance and have pedal strikes more so than I already do.

    Too much power for derailleur?

    Yep, bent hanger! Totally happened when he fell onto my rear wheel, didn't think anything of it at the time but makes sense. $100 and change later I'm back riding :cool:

    2018 Specialized SWorks Levo Warantied

    Stoked for you man! Are they swapping frames and components or just the frame? It'd be rad if those plus 27.5's fit in there, unless it throws off the geometry since it's made for 29's. Time will tell, we'll have to go ride soon!

    Kenevo Gen1 Official 2018/2019 Kenevo thread

    Oooo baby, in love with this gal. I've ridden the 18' Levo, 19' Levo, 19' Kenevo Comp, and decided on the 19' Kenevo Expert. So stoked!! It feels similair to my Enduro Expert but the Lyrik and Ohlins TTX really sets it apart. Pump those 2.8" butchers up to 23 front psi, 26 rear and they hook up...

    Too much power for derailleur?

    Awesome I'm more at ease knowing I should be able to tackle these steep climbs that were never even imaginable before the ebike. I went through the bike. Got maybe 1/8 of a turn out of some of the linkage bolts, the hanger is tight, it could be bent though, it shifted fine but I guess if it's...

    Too much power for derailleur?

    Hmm so what the heck could have happened? I was literally fighting to keep it going pushing as much torque as I could apply in 100% support mode, figured it had to be from too much strain on the drive train, but I can see your point which is, it should go from top dead center of cassette to...

    Too much power for derailleur?

    Hey guys, @dirkbike here. I've tested the Levo in different builds, the Kenevo comp, and now purchased the Kenevo Expert a couple of days ago and really loving the bike, until today... I was powering up a really steep climb that normally only hikers or horses do, bikes are allowed, but unless...

    Kenevo and Levo stock Butcher tyres - grip questions ???

    I'm not sure where this notion of running mid teen's PSI came from but in order for the Butcher 2.6/2.8's to really grip and feel confident, you need to run them mid 20's. I've ran both the 2.6 and 2.8's and am really loving the rounder profile of the 2.8's. I've found 23 psi front, 26 psi rear...
