- I have been stuck in the dark ages of 27.5" and wanted to try my Kenevo as a Mullet, in this video I convert it and go into detail on the geometry impacts and how it rides.
Gemoetry calculator I used is below.

I changed my 2022 Kenevo to 29" front and rear running 2.4" tyres all round. I'm 6'7" so wanted the bigger wheels and longer wheelbase. I didn't actually run it on the original 27.5" so have nothing to compare it to, but it feels fantastic in 29" form 🤟🏻
Yeah you would make 27.5” look out of place at that height! I’ve got a 29er on the back at the moment too doing some testing. Managed to fit a 2.5 assegai in there without any frame rub so stoked on that.
There's certainly not much that can slow my bike down with the 29ers on! I actually have the opposite problem where I carry too much speed into slippery winter UK corners 😂.
I enjoy some tech nerdery. Currently have my 40 at 185mm using the Chris porter pressure equalisation method.
With the stanchions raised through the crowns by 7mm, which still gives clearance, the a2c is 580mm.
For a nearly 5 year old bike, the gen2 kenevo really is quite remarkable.
How do you find that method to work, no problems??
@@TrailVaultMTB it works fine, very supple off the top. However back to back i preferred the higher front end with the full 203mm, so thats how its staying. Saves me spending a ton of money on a 190mm airshaft which i had been considering.
@@markcosens1 nice, I read about this method but wasn’t sure if it would be a hassle to maintain pressure so cut my spring down to 180mm instead - easy and works well.
If you haven't already you should switch the offset mount on the lower end of the shock into "high". I run a mullet on my kenevo with a zeb 190mm up front, my head angle is 63deg with the shock in the high position and it feels fantastic.
Awesome, that’s sitting pretty high, you must have the long offset fork? I’m running it in the high mode but for me steering was too heavy with the single crown fork though definitely got used to it.
@@TrailVaultMTB TBH I never really noticed the front being higher than with the old fox38 27.5 setup. The main thing I noticed is the epic speed and I don't ground out quite so much where the BB is a little higher. I run a 65mm stroke shock so it has around 190mm travel on the back too.
If you had a single crown to start with your change would be the same as mine then - i started with a triple clamp from stock so axle to crown change is more significant when going to single crown. Glad you like your bike, I’m really happy with the change also. Keep ripping.
Did you need a special link to convert it to a mullet, or you just changed the flip chips of the bikes? Can you explain how you converted it? I'd like to do on mine. Thank you!
I did not put a link in which is why I specifically wanted a triple crown fork to keep the geometry as close to stock as possible. You won’t notice the difference in handling as long as you pay attention to fork offset/axle to crown. Just run the highest offset you can and keep the travel at stock or 10mm below and you’ll be fine.
@@TrailVaultMTB thank you!
I think the steering flop you feel is probably also due to the slacker head angle
Yeah it probably is, they are all related and slacker hta angle increases trail and wheel flop
