Has anyone fitted a 34T chainring to their Kenevo SL ?
Was chainstay clearance ok and did the chainguide still clear the chain ?
Many thanks

I am running a 34T right now.
chainstay clearance is ok, the chain guide IS NOT. I am running it without the chain guide.

Hello folks. My Gen 1 KSL which is a bit over a year old started having this knocking sound when the motor disengages. So basically motor kicks in, you get the support then when I stop pedaling I feel a knock as the support goes away. More noticeable on full support 100/100, but also noticeable in my trail 70/70 mode. I don't know if I'm just noticing this now and it is normal, or if I should take it to the shop for evaluation.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

What happens when you pedal backwards???

What happens when you pedal backwards???

nothing. the usual nothingness. no resistance, no odd sounds, no engagement of anything.

I only ask because its what I just experienced. When I would pedal backwards it was NOT disengaging and it would also grind when pedaling hard.... had to replace motor.... I think I read somewhere someone had knocking sound on KSL. let me see if I can find it....

Hi, is it normal to have 90% of battery capacity after 80 charging cycles? Quite disappointed with that. Did any of you request a warranty claim?

I’d say that’s not normal at all and you should get in contact with your local Spesh dealer so they can handle the warranty.

Anyone in the UK have any experience with the Vivid shock, tuned for the SL?
My LBS says none available in the UK and 5 months wait before Rockshox will have any in country?
Don't know whether to try to import one myself or go for a standard tuned vivid
All thoughts welcome.
Cheers,
John

Just get the standard shock and have it tuned with either TF or J-Tech, if you buy it from them they’ll set it up for you. It will probably be better than the “factory” tune anyway.

That sounds like a plan, thanks
