Hey Carlbiker. Read your post as I am interested in the Rise and the Kenevo SL.
just thinking about your desire to switch geometry around when riding in different places.
its tempting to go down that rabbit hole and as a Geometron G1 owner I have a massive range of feasible adjustments. I’ve...
I’m missing a bit here.
Brakes were squeaking.
Changed the pads (and meanwhile mullered the ceramic pistons with a screwdriver. Always push the old pads the retract, not the pistons).
Put the wheel in with the disc rotor not between the pads but between the back of one pad and the pistons on...
Hey Rob, how's it going with your demo rise?
I bet like me there are a lot of readers keen to know your impresssions.
I'm hoping the pedal feel / natural ride is like the Kinesis Rise (Fazua) hardtail but with some nice rear suspension to take the hits out
thanks for your informative reviews.
I saw these enthusiastically recommended. The sole looks flat (no instep) good for the forward foot position that suits flat pedals

Have you looked at "Ventile"?
It’s a pretty interesting fabric.

Be aware that it becomes waterproof when the fibres swell a little - this means it can stiffen a little when its very wet. Resat of the time it just feels like sturdy cotton weave. Howies used to make some...
A good dealer should easily get you a replacement. My pal had a Levo frame brake from a serious crash (And he was honest about that) and had a replacement within a week.
My seriously skilled off-road motorcycle riding mate (Paris Dakar/ trials etc) won’t buy an e-mtb, sticks to his pedal bike but might feel different if pedalling the Alps.
I am older - he told me he rode and rated the Kenevo. Good geometry (super important) and pretty good spec I wish it had...
I thought this was going to be another Shimano motor issue but it seems info froM others suggests it’s a YT Motor connection / damp issue.
what a shame that’s not been fixed in production. It can’t be all of them realistically or they’d be over run with claims and bad PR.
Take it to Guildford...
Isn’t the BB rather high with 29” wheels? How is the rear wheel / frame clearance? Really appreciate BB measurement (static) and a pic of rear shell clearance near bb please.
thx

sorry to hear about the Kenevo damage. Metal engine guard needed for sure. You did get hold of an S5 though they are pretty rare. I‘ve been searching.
If you want a like new Fox X2 I can help you. Seems like air would be more adjustable for your weight - and it is Gwins shock so proper...
My US mate recommends these waterproof boots

Maxxxis Shorty Maxxgrip* front and same (or maybe Maxxterra) rear is your choice for that, especially if its "clay"/mud.
I like the Shorty 2.5 WT a lot as it's good on 30-35 rims. Maybe that’s OK for you? They do also make bigger I believe.
*beautiful grip and confidence from the maxxgrip. The...
That product looks like its permanently affixed?
The holes for the cranks don't look slotted, so it would be cranks off to fit perhaps, is that right?
If so I'd think that’s adding risk rather than reducing it.
There was a trend in the 90's to add boots or neoprene wraps to suspension fork...
Hi guys,
I am getting older and have had a few tries on mates bikes, stepping on soon I think
currently on a Geometron long slack and low - and such fun
but pedalling up alongside anyone in an e bike is a nightmare
