Kenevo Gen1 29er Front and Rear Kenevo

[mustclime]

Hi, I need information about converting kenevo to full 29er.
What do I need to replace oem boxxer fork for zeb 180mm fork (bearing...)?
My next tires will be conti cryptotal/argotal.
What tire width should I get for rear side?

You need a 1.5 inch lower head set race.

Don’t know about the forks as mine came with a single crown . I went 2.4 rear and there’s enough room the a mudguard

Hi, beautiful, how much does this weigh?

 

[head]

How is the lever pull on those, I tried a set and they felt kinda stiff. I also saw the a video by Dale Stone.

I find this to be a non-issue. The initial pull is harder, but I only notice it during a 'parking lot test'. After the initial pull, the lever moves more easily. When riding, I don't notice it at all.

ok update on the Mavens
if you can….get them!

they built for emtb and the weight/speed you get going downhill

after a few runs figuring braking distances and power…they give so much confidence now

Hi, I am Newbie and would like to have confirm, what should I chance, if I want to chance my new Kenevo -23 to 29`wheels?
Kenevo -23 Fork is Fox 38 Rhytm, is it suitable for 29?

How about this mavic 29 wheels:

Thanks in advance for any answers,

Mikko

Deemax don't have the best reputation. 27.5 fork is not suitable.

Thanks, so next question,
is there enough space for 27,5+ (2,8 or 3,0) tires?

Not sure, I have a 27.5 Zeb on my bike with 2.8 tires with no clearance issues. If you are going to plus tires, the 28mm rimes that come stock are to thin. I am running 40 mm iw rims.

Good to see you today mate at Degla..I will have a blast at that set up..well a budget version

Great to see you too. How’s it going? Enjoying the new steed after the mods?

 

[Christurbo]

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.

For you?

For me it’s perfect and is an absolute ripper. Oh and it can’t be setup that bad - I’ve had a KOM and 6th overall at Degla on some of the DH / Jump lines in just the last week alone.

The Best Specialized eBike Ever... One MASSIVE Problem!

Hey. Im about to start build my Kenevo to 29/29 with the same parts as you had. Could you post in detail the spec of the bike and parts?
Stem length
Fork setup (PSI, comp/rebound clicks, tokens)
Shock setup (PSI, High/low comp/rebound, tokens)
High/low flip?
Offset bushings?

I can't wait to get started with this build!

Hey,
did someone ever tried the new Vivid with 230x62.5 on the Kenevo. Does it touch the frame at full compression?
I would file it down, when its not that much of material.

Watch this

 

[Henrik]

Jep, I saw this. But he uses the 65mm stroke.

 

[Mene]

Does anyone have the weight of the Stock Roval 27.5 Wheels? I am thinking about the 29er upgrade on my beloved Kenevo. And a little bit of weight optimisation. I did buy it in 2019 and still love the bike. And i think this bike is worth an upgrade rather than buying a new one... since it is still a great bike.

i can weigh my set for you. just the wheels no tires.

 

[Mene]

That would bee great. Yes just the Wheels, no Tires, casette or breaks would be perfect. Thank you

I've had this built for a while.. ever since I saw Rob's vid.. I love the longer chainstay on an S4 being 6' 3". The front end is so low on the bike.. that would be my only complaint.. Running 50mm bars with about 2 in of spacers.

I'm running either a Fox 40 @203 or a Zeb @ 170 depending what I'm riding. I'm probably gonna put a 190 in the 40. I was running a dorado.. A lot easier to change the travel but that upper weight is hard to get used too. (All the weight is at the top of the fork.. The 40 feels way stiffer and the weight is lower.

Zeb
2.4 rear 2.5 front chip in high = 61.8 HA

Fox 40
Same above = 61.5 HA

EXT E-Storia Rear Shock

I would like to get the HA to around 63.5-64 for normal riding.. Seems like me only only is to swap the tires. I put 1/4 block under my rear tire.. gained almost 1 degree. That's about the difference from the 2.5 and 2.4 I'm running.. (Assegai 2.5 and DHR 2.4)
