£12 from eBay super light weight and amazing grip haven’t slipped once
As for grips
Dmr death grips (thick) really changes the bike over the stock grips I was squeezing the bar to right on rough descents and getting really bad soreness after riding. Fitted these and it’s gone
I run specialized hillbilly black diamond casing tubeless best tyre I’ve ever ran. Grip is unreal on wet sloppy trails I ride Aston hill a lot which is pretty much all chalk and this tyre still manages to bite. The picture above is from last week in the wet and you can see how clean the tread...
Hi guys,
Hers my kenevo! I recently fitted a Fox sls spring but I’m have trouble with it rubbing on the shock when I’m compressing in big hits. I’ve seen someone running the same spring with the same fox van r but didn’t manage to ask him what he did to stop the rubbing!
I get you completely, for single track use the tyres will be fine. but as I mentioned I split my side wall riding singletrack on the ridgeway on a very light root section aired up at 26 psi so I would not recommend going tubless on the grid casing tyres (again personal opinion). black diamond...
Because grid sidewalks are fine for normal mountain bike applications but on a 20kg ebike that’s focused for downhill they simply do not cut it. Depends how hard you ride and the trails you’re hitting but for me tearing a side wall first ride out meant they were heading for the bin and thicker...
I honestly would stick with the factory wheels me and my friend have hit huge stuff on them spanked them all over the place on rock gardens and they are still straight as a needle..
unless you were going to go to go for a set of carbon wheels for less gyroscopic weight but they are ££££
I also didn't like the 2.8's they roll around and squirm in the fast corners and if you inflate them hard enough so they don't roll over you have zero traction
Personally, I wouldn't risk it especially if you like to go out for longish rides
The grid sidewalls just aren't up to ebike weight and abuse I put a slit in mine on some average roots luckily i wasn't tubeless or I would have been stranded.
I've just ordered some hillbilly black diamond...
Took your advice and ordered a pair of Hillbilly blck dmnd 2bliss 2.6's going to run them tubeless will update on the results.

The blck dmnd side walls are meant to be much more rigid in the corners that the grid side walls
So my friend and I are struggling with the 2.8 butchers folding over and squirming on berms and fast corners..
Its either have them fold over on the corners or inflate so high that you have no grip on the roots and rough stuff.
We are mainly riding dh and bike parks with the odd xc ride but...
Which company did you got for?

Hi Guys,
So, my one-week old kenevo and it's already out of action :(
It started off as a snapped main pivot bolt most probably due to overtightening from factory.
Received my new bolt (under warranty) from the concept store in chelmsford big thanks to Matt for a speedy service and claim...
