Did you ever get this figured out? I have the same issue and the same gap. No matter what I do I cannot get it snug. The bearings are in the right way. The top bearing cover and that split bearing spacer seem to not play together.
Remember more or less reach can be obtained with a stem reduction or increase, saddle + or - depending on your reach goals. Your bike looks great and in IMO lighter accents on darker bikes, and dark components on neutral or lighter-coloured bikes look pretty good. I usually start with the...

Description Just got a new Kenevo Expert and ordered a Fox 40 that was on sale for 50% off. This fork is practically new with under 20 km. Will ship...
I cannot comment on the 29er as I am looking to do the same, but I know my experience on the 2.1 charger damper was amazing and such a difference from the Boxxer Select.
Yes, I know it will too! I want to be clear that the Kenevo is by far the best riding experience I have had. Owner of Santa Cruz 5010, Nomad, Bronson, Trek top fuel 9.9 SL, to the Kenevo. Hands down beat them all as I have fun going over things without feeling like I was in a paint can mixer and...
OK so two full days on the new Kenevo! My first impressions had me thinking its not a mind-blowing difference like some people describe it. It had me thinking a few times about wanting my 2019, but, once I got it a little more dialled in with the suspension it got better and started to have...
I will come back and write some of my experiences as i am 210-215 bs fluctuating throughout the summer season and 6 feet tall on an XL 2019 Kenevo expert going to the latest gen 2. My 2019 has a 2021 boxxer ultimate (203 mm) and the original Ohlins shock. The reason for the upgrade was that I...
Really appreciate the level of detail on your review. I was on the fence and have the 2019 kenevo but upgraded this week. Bike will be here in 2 days. End of season sales!
I have not read any comparisons to the Kenevo? I know Rob is a kenevo FF (not the SL) fan and wondering if the downhill capability is the same. I know it's a sled but my Kenevo 2018 XL is pretty great and just takes some muscle to move it around. The stability and forgiveness of the Kenevo set...
No, I thought it was from the shape of the Xwing and my misconception. I never took the shock out but another post by CjP said, "The specialized shock block fitted to work with the standard shock yoke". So not sure how that works. Can anyone tell me what needs to be done since I cannot buy a new...
For the vault spring did you choose the 65mm? I know the stroke on the shock is only 57 mm stroke. Just wondering as the length I assume would be different for each scenario.
Thanks, guys. I appreciate that and will look into a local tune and service. If I wanted to get a new rear shock with a longer spring like my SC Nomad, do you have any suggestions on where to find a Trunnion shock with similar dimensions? The Gen 1 shock length is a bit on the odd sizing 216 x...
Hi Everyone!
had my bike for a few years and now doing some jumps in the 10-18 foot gap and 3-6 ft drop range. The Ohlins rear shock does pretty good for normal trail riding but when I am doing jumps and slightly miss my target and end up hitting my bottom bracket on the ground several times a...
Hey Dfriz,
My crown race did not work and I put another post about it to see if anyone has suggestions or brands that worked. yOu can see from the photo there is a 4-5 mm gap and the tapper stopping it from resting on the crown race correctly. I put it all together and after a few minutes, the...
Hi Guys,
Installed the Crown Race reducer 1.5" ALLOY REDUCER ZS CROWN RACE (FSA 1.5" Alloy Reducer ZS Crown Race) and it does not seem to fit well at all. I know someone else on this site had installed a dual crown on their 2018 Kenevo and used a reducer. I would like to see if it's a brand...
