Bikes look pretty sweet with the Boxxers
but sorry. there's no way these Kenevo's have 273-278mm BB heights.
Looking at the side on view the BB is slightly above the wheel axle height. Looks like you're running 27.5 wheels so depending on tyre size that's put your BB height somewhere around 355-360mm. If it were 273mm the BB would be noticably far lower than the axles and the H/A would be crazy slack.
BB height is measured centre of BB axle (crank) to the floor with the bike upright, centred and on level ground.
Stock BB height on a Kenevo is 350mm.
hope this helps.
Out of interest what size, casing and compound are the tyres? and what do these bikes weight now?
Stock tyres for these measurements I think the boxer 29" 2650kg RockShox Lyrik RCT3 is 2032kg . need Hope wheels and some other bit are less weight so my guess if the bikes around 300/400Kg more . but you can feel it at all. it face it brakes/ jumps and corners much better a IMO..
@ccrdave most dual crown forks can be run at around an inch a shorter axle to crown length than the equivalent travel single crown fork. Ergo you can run the same (static) head angle, crown height and BB height but with more available travel.
Seeing as the fork has an extra inch of travel you can run it a little longer (dropped through the crowns). If I were to stick a boxxer on a kenevo I'm pretty sure I'd also fit a -2deg headset and drop the crowns as low as possible to get a nicer BB height.
