Depends on the fork, I wouldn’t use a fox34 or a pike( or any lesser fork). Definitely up the air shaft to 170mm as 160mm will lower your already low bb.Hello All, I have just bought a Kenevo for what I would say is a good price. Had a few shots on a Levo first but always felt a bit 'over the bars' on it. Anyway, I am wanting to venture into the 29 wheel size world. I don't have much of a budget at present so am thinking of going with a mullet set-up to start with, the thing is I don't want to slacken the head angle any more than it is stock. Reading through loads of old posts on here, it appears a 160mm 29er fork with a 44 offset might be the way to do this - can anyone offer any advice here? Thanks
I’m running 220mm rotors with Hope Fortus 30 on Pro5 hubs. I cant say I’ve noticed this issue. S3 frame.Struggling with the same issue and found one wheel+disc that doesn’t work with the frame.
I am using DT Swiss only and it is really close but working with 1501 and 1700 series wheels (240 and 350 hubs) and TRP 220mm disc but the 1850 series wheel (possibly 370 hub) was that didn’t work.
It’s not about the size of rotor in my case when it’s grapping from inner part of the disc.
Went to the local dealer and we tested also other wheels and frames to find out is there something in the frame. Is is like that and the best combo was some random spesh wheel (no dt hub) and SRAM disc.
Will continue with small clearance even it hurts my mind when building bikes for enduro durability…
I have:-I must have those brakes..... the SRAMS that come on this are awful. I often wonder what they actually put in that huge box at each lever, maybe they are considering using one of them as the venue for the next Superbowl.
Hi how does it ride as a mulletI’ve moved back to triple clamp … but in Mullet (still 180mm of front travel though).

It’s now back to single crown but I chose a light(er)weight setup.Hi how does it ride as a mullet
Thanks for the response , I’ve tried a mullet too but wasn’t too happy with the handling tried a few things to get it running good but went full 29 which felt very capable but I only had 36 forks and they felt underrated , it was very fast , but I thought it lost a bit of its sparkle so I Went back to stock which I love but can’t help but think that there is an ultimate setup with the right offset forks as a mullet out there , I do like dual crown forks though !It’s now back to single crown but I chose a light(er)weight setup.
It’s very agile, turn in is savage and it’s rapid! BB is set to high to address geo. Highly recommend.

...might that be a 170mm fork with 44mm offset perchance? Reason being is that that is what I intend to do if Santa brings me some Christmas waste on bike money.Thanks for the response , I’ve tried a mullet too but wasn’t too happy with the handling tried a few things to get it running good but went full 29 which felt very capable but I only had 36 forks and they felt underrated , it was very fast , but I thought it lost a bit of its sparkle so I Went back to stock which I love but can’t help but think that there is an ultimate setup with the right offset forks as a mullet out there , I do like dual crown forks though !
That front end looks way too high and slack and also the BB is to high, you want a 29er fork with a low axel to crown measurement, there’s a table with fork measurements further back in this thread.It’s now back to single crown but I chose a light(er)weight setup.

Good to see you today mate at Degla..I will have a blast at that set up..well a budget versionIt’s now back to single crown but I chose a light(er)weight setup.

Looks well Raw mateStill waiting/dreaming of spesh kicking out an updated kenevo…until then Ill keep changing mine. 29er w/fox 40. Zero complaints View attachment 135835
it is a little harder at the initial stroke…but not crazyHow is the lever pull on those, I tried a set and they felt kinda stiff. I also saw the a video by Dale Stone.
What’s your opinion?
Yes works fine if you can find a set. I had to import them.On the Kenevo full 29er build
To test concept has anyone put 29 lowers on the boxxer and just switched the wheels to 29
Seems like a cheap route to see if I woukd like the setup before Fox 38 /x2 etc ???
Thanks for the reply!Yes works fine if you can find a set. I had to import them.
I've covered it on these forums if you have a dig around. I only went 29 front.Thanks for the reply!
Did you find the build a great improvement as mentioned by Rob??
Was the low speed tighter handling changed alot ???
