I use silicone spray on my dropper, shock and fork stanchions.

Which brand or brands of silicone spray do you use?

 

[Doomanic]

I got it from Halfords, which probably doesn't help you much.

Silicone spray here as well, on all dampers every 3-4 rides.

Well its not super precise but looking at where the bump stop ends up (after a careful mount / dismount) on the shaft.

63mm great thanks Donnie.

The 57mm stroke spring for the Enduro fits well and goes up to 640lbs.- and the missing 6mm can easily be adjusted with the coil-plate.

Cool!
And thanks for finding a Canadian retailer for me!

 

[Doomanic]

No problem.

Bit of hack modification here? Spare Inner tube, 2 x co2 , tyre lever, gear cable & spare mech hanger?

I'm new here and also in eMTB scene. Racing and riding mtb about 30 years and bought my very 1st eMTB.
Today was my first test ride /w Kenovo 2019 and it has also new Lyrik Debonair fork.

Interesting time

 

[Mcharza]

Pretty amazing. Test ride today, 43 km and it eats my battery 52%. Riding Eco mode most of the time.
And that Lyrik 2019 is so good

What do you weigh and how much climbing was there?

What do you weigh and how climbing was there?

As living in the flat land at the southern part of Finland got about ascent 450 m and my total weight with backpack is 85 kg

Bought me a Kenevo yesterday. Wow, what a bike. I need to suss out how to manage the battery though, killed it in 18 miles

Get stuck into the Specialized Mission Control App, and work with the power levels to get through the planned ride. I can smash the battery in no time, or eeekk it out for hours. Awesome choice, welcome to the Kenevo Club, which isn't real, I just made it up.

I thought Norfolk was flat - I had a four hour ride yesterday and managed 595m of ascent.

I’ll get 20 miles today if I run all Eco with 4500 feet of climbing

I stoled this idea to my Turbo Levo HT.

Spare inner tube, tyre lever, rear mech hanger and chainlinks. There’s little room left yet...

 

[Doomanic]

We did 22 miles and 2500ft of climbing today, battery life remaining ranged from bugger all to 50%!

Interesting... presumably different brands giving different results? Or same brands giving different results? (Accepting everyone has different custom settings and uses different modes at different times)

Would be interesting to compare if everyone on the ride could list their bike, settings and percentages on modes used...

 

[Al Boneta]

ECO 20%
Trail 40%
Turbo 100%
PPECO 80%
PPTRAIL 80%
PPTURBO 100%

Two Bosch, both ridden by heavyweights were at bugger all. 4 Levos (baaaa!) were I think 1-3 bars remaining. The surprise was the Kenevo; 52% left! But that was a local rider who could anticipate the trails better, had adjusted his power setting down to 5/40/70 (I think) and weighs less than my Camelbak!

I am not surprised

Got the job of sweeping the Ard Rock marathon course on my Kenevo the other week. 52kms, 4750ft of vert and I still had 2 bars left! It's the first ride I've really had to manage the battery usage. Did most of it in eco with the odd bit of turbo / trail. I'm about 75kg (bit more with pack maybe). Gotta say I was really surprised.

When you first ride it in eco having spent most of the time in trail, it feels like you're riding with the brakes on, but after a while you get used to it and just that little bit of assistance is fine.

 

[Mission MTB]

P.S. I use the stock settings. Never bothered with the customising through Mission Control (oh, and just remembered I rode down and back up Gunnerside to *ahem* test it before marshalling there. I'd left my pack with Strava running at my marshal point. Rode up using turbo, so I got another significant climb in there that wasn't recorded).

Think it was 43% remaining, but that's somewhere around my settings. I didn't really plan to conserve battery, I've never worried about that, which will bite me one day! Most of the ride was in trail, with turbo if I started to run out of breath on the climbs and eco on the descents. I'm somewhere around 75kg with gear on.

That's true, but in that case, i just turn off the motor completely and feel very happy to get back to ECO after a short while

Thanks for that - i've never looked up there!
