Isn't that a Levo Comp?

Hi. Saw this and although my medical history isn't exactly the same as yours, it's similar enough to share my own experience I think. I used to ride motocross bikes until my early thirties and having kids made it impossible really, due to time and cost. I ran and cycled to work for a while, and...

After a lot of reasearch, I managed to solve this myself. Here are the details for anyone else that might need them in the future: DT Swiss Champion - 14G - J Bend - Black - 267mm DT Swiss Prolock Brass Nipple - Black - 12mm I also added a Sapim HM Nipple Washer. I bought them from Custom...

Well, I took it all apart, and there was some fairly significant corrosion. All of the mud had made it very damp. I've cleaned it all up, and used contact cleaner along with dialectric grease when putting it all back together. Fortunately, it's all workig now with no problems. I think I'll be...

What a nightmare. Have you had it replaced?

I've cleaned it, but not with contact cleaner. I'll order some and give that a go as well. Was your issue exactly the same as mine?

Thanks for the reply. Let me know how you get on. The weird thing is that although it has become more regular, it still works again as soon as I inplug, and plug back in. I will have had the bike for two years in about June, so it's time I stripped it down I guess. I just need to buy the tools...

Hi, I'm having some problems with my motor cutting out. It generally happens when I've ridden a downhill section, where the bike has been hitting the trail fairly hard. I have no power when I go to pedal, despite the lights all being on still. If I unplug the battery connector, and then plug it...

Hi, I've had a spoke snap on my back wheel, and have another one that is bent and needs replacing. I've been trying to 'google' and look on these forums for the spoke specs, so that I can order some replacements, but haven't had any luck. Can anyone share the spoke specs with me so that I can...

Glad to see you're getting back on your feet and thinking about biking again! I had an aortic aneurysm when I was 37. Had part of my aortic root replaced, and a mechanical aortic valve fitted. Took me a couple of years to fully recover from it. But now I'm 42 and regularly hit a bit of DH, bike...

Thanks for the replies. I don't want to shorten the reach too much, so I'm thinking 50mm. I have some 800mm Renthals with 20mm rise, but I might try the stock 780mm with 25mm rise Spesh bars.

My XL 2018 Levo comes with a 60mm stem. I know @Rob Hancill tried a shorter stem (at least I think I read that somewhere). Has anyone tried a shorter stem, and did you notice a positive change in the steering/ride?

Hi, Sorry for the slow reply. Having spent a lot of time on it, I didn't want to go out to the garage and tinker any more for a few days! I'm playing with a Shockwiz at the moment, so I've measured it. It looks like 57mm extended (bearing in mind it won't use the entire length), and when...

Updates on my bike complete. Take a look on the modded Levo's section. 1 degree slacker in the end, with standard bushes.

I have a 2018 Levo Comp in silver. I am between sizes and went for an XL for the extra reach. I've made the following modifications: Renthal Fatbar V2, 800mm Rockshox Reverb 150mm dropper post Rockshox Revalation converted to Pike spec, and travel increased from 150 to 160mm (Motion Control...
