TTX22m is good to go.
If I remember right, you will find the information in the manual.Can anyone confirm that a 30t chain ring will work on a Kenevo SL? Or would the chain ride the rubber chain protector in the smallest cog? Asking for a friend
Usually, both of the sizes are listed in the manual but for some reason, just the max size was listed.If I remember right, you will find the information in the manual.
Hi !
The many threads with cracked crankarms and the actual huck-testresult drove me to swap my carbon cranks from my Levo22 SW to Alloy.
I weighed the right crankarm. 165mm Alloy from Ken22 only weights 15gr. more than the 160mm from Lev22 (if same pedals have no weight tolerances)
So for me: No chance for carbon cranks !

Was the Fox hardware compatible with your e-storia?No , in the module you can choose to buy or not the hardware kit.
I ordered e-storia and I didn't buy the harware kit because I want to use the fox x2 hardware kit... I hope that's right!

I’m in South Texas, so definitely hot in summer. I have not noticed any difference between hot and cool temps in power or battery usage.Question for the folks who run in warmer climates: Does the KSL roll back the available power like the regular Levo SL on hot days with hard climbs?
Entertaining the thought of a KSL, but having an extra low power cap in southern California summers would be a bear.
I ordered an Ext for another bike that had an X2. I did not order bushings and hardware. It was a mistake. The Fox bushings/hardware were not compatible. As much as these shocks cost, I’d order the bushings/hardware so you know it’s right. Also, I would order that new 3D printed clicker adjustment tool that is on the website. I cut down a 10mm wrench. Carrying that and an Allen wrench in your pocket sucked.Just picked up an S5 KSL frameset and going to order up an EXT E-Storia straight away. At 6’4 230lbs the X2 shocks just don’t have enough rebound damping up near the PSI limit.
-Do I need to include DU bushings (doubt it)?
-Do I need shock hardware or can I reuse the Fox stuff?
Thanks in advance. Amped to get this built.

I can confirm this. I torqued as per the manual and snapped the bolt. Specialized stood behind it an sent me an entire linkage/shock bolt package for free. I know people like to rag on Specialized, but I have had nothing but positive results when dealing with them.I ordered my e-STORIA with the DU bushings and new mounting hardware. When it arrived, I removed my Fox Factory X2 and seen that it did not use any DU bushings so I just had to use my bushing tool to push them out. Also the mounting hardware sizes listed in the Specialized manual are incorrect so the new upper mounting hardware from EXT was the wrong size, I had to reuse the ones that came on my X2, it fits fine without a DU bushing in the upper eyelet. I hope this helps.
Also it's worth mentioning that the torque spec for the upper shock mounting bolt (5mm) is another thing that's incorrect in the manual, the proper torque is 12.7nm not 22.7

I passed over my fox hardware no problem. Did struggle getting lower eyelet to squeeze between the spacers. Seems like ext was fractionally wider and not rounded like the fox was. I sanded the spacers a tiny bit to get clearance.
Update:
-dealer didn’t update firmware
-Screen says “motor error”
-Fox X2 shock is stuck down from factory
So much anticipation for this bike and such an incredibly shitty first experience. I’m sure it will eventually knock my socks off, but so far they are very much on (with garters).
In short, “Waaaaa waaaaaa waaaaa.”
i’m sure it’ll all get sorted.
So motor all sorted after a trip to the dealer. Apparently it needs a magnet on the rotor to function(?). Who knew… steep eeb learning curve .
Factory X2 functioning almost normally as well now. Rebound circuits slow things to a tortoise pace when set to the recommended 1 click (push it down and wait 30s for it to re-extend). Running more clicks makes it rideable. Hopefully it’ll work decently until the EXT shows up.
If anyone here in the 200+ lb club has recommendations for X2 settings I’d be stoked to hear what’s working for you. As it stands I’ve either got a lemon shock or the suspension recommendations on the specialized tuning app are pretty far off.
Here’s a crap pic of the beautiful problem child:

Can’t wait to ride it…
Which pivot bolt?My suspension guru (Ryan at Fluid Focus ) was going over my x2 today as it seems to have been slowly leaking air. He found a few things :
Rear pivot bolt had loosened (yes, it was torqued correctly when I last checked) Which caused a seal to deteriorate leading to the leak.
Unrelated apparently the rebound circuit is doing nothing. And the LSR adjustment doesn’t do anything. That will be investigated and hopefully corrected on Monday.
Moral of the story: for those underwhelmed with the stock performance x2, might not be functioning correctly. I will report back when I have time on the fixed setup
High price for S-Works sticker.
Buying Comp and swapping components the way to go IMO. Frames are the same.
You can send the x2 in for a rebuild. Tell them you’re a Campbells soup kid. But the ext is mo bettrrrrrr. Just tell ext in detail the tune you want and how much sag you want.
