I enjoy building frame up mtb's myself and you did a fantastic job and great choice in parts!
Enjoy it and have fun!

Update
I haven’t posted much recently because I’ve been too busy shredding!
I have done some minor things though.
AirTag - installed so it provides a little safety net.
Sound deadening - there was a small amount of chatter from the cables in the downtube. So I wrapped them with Velcro straps and filled the space with foam. It’s silent now!
Ergon GE1 Factory grips - upgraded from standard GE1s. Super sticky grip and stealth to go with the bars.
Other than that the Kenevo has taken an absolute pounding most days and is running sweet!

what an amazing looking bike!!It’s a tad over 25kgs which I am happy with considering the Ohlins coil, AXS drivetrain and Dropper, Cushcore and heavy duty rubber making it a Super Enduro plough!
Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of my Voima - but regardless of mudguards, it looks all that similar, except Yours is pretty cleanAutumn is here and it’s a lot wetter here in Wales. Doesn’t stop me getting out on this monster daily!

I’ve gone for 180mm initially, I can upgrade it to 200mm for around £35. I will see how it goes.Nice. A dual crown is doing it properly .
What travel? I recall the dh38 had quite a tall a2c when I was looking at them a while back.
Unrelated and seeing as your bike is quite new with the same shock, perhaps you could give your backend a wiggle as per my thread and advise?
Oh and I would suggest getting an additional set of fork rubber bumpers to help spread the load in a crash. The frame can be dinged quite easily.
Other - Kenevo / Levo swingarm linkage flex
Keveno gen2, but likely similar to levos etc. How much flex is normal? Ive just replace all the linkage bearings with some enduro max. Ive got slight doubts whether they are genuine, but thats another story.. I have the same amount of flex as before i started. Bracing the frame & giving the rear...www.emtbforums.com
Thanks for the info …. Slack city! Especially if it’s a 29”Yes I think that's a sensible travel number. A2c is 608-620 for a 29" @200mm now I've checked which is massive. For reference my 40 @200 is 595mm I think.
I have a fox and the genuine bumpers were only a few quid. I wanted to keep them the same size.
Cheers for the reply. Looks like I need to investigate further.
Great shout - I need to replace the controller (Spesh have a new one being sent) so will do that at the same timeMake sure the brake hose doesn't rub off the anodising on the right stanchion. It looks like it's touching.
I routed my rear brake through the left port in the frame as no need for over long cables when the dual crown stops the bars spinning too far.
I’ve added some invisiframe to protect it short term. As I am out today on it. Maiden voyage!Make sure the brake hose doesn't rub off the anodising on the right stanchion. It looks like it's touching.

What did you do to remove the rattle? I still have some rattle somewhere and want to remove it!I’ve made some small mods on the downtube to eradicate the rattles - it’s now silent!

Bike looks epic btw.
They are from a Jagwire set in believe. One side is large enough for the brake hose other is the right size for the control wire
Thanks for the insight. I have both air shafts arriving with the fork (170/180) and it’s pretty easy to swap out due to not having to remove the lowers so I will experiment.I personally found the 36 @180/29 to be a bit noodly. 170 really is the limit of these thinner tubed forks.
Brother runs his 29 EXT at 170 and it runs marginally better than my old set up.
Also while your shedding weight an airshock will give you a nice weight saving and also the ability to tune in a little more playfulnesses into the bike.
For all out DH/proper enduro though your current set up is awesome. It’s what I use to run and loved it.
