Cane Creek Air IL (next gen)! This tiny demon worked in a great balance with Formula Selva C (coil) fork, and Formula Selva is fantastic fork and best stock fork on the market IMO. Had a few rides on my friend’s Merida e160 with Kitsuma and Air IL feels not very different to Kitsuma Air. Stock...

Me and my friend just received two Matermind TCUs for SL and 2021 levo with 2.2 motor... It doesn't work on both bikes, latest firmware. Dealer software didn't help either, just keeps showing something like Device is not compatible:( Any ideas apart from the official Specialized statement?)...

I just ordered TCU 2 (Mastermind) for my 2021 Levo with 2.2 motor. Will Mastermind still work with my Gen 2 Levo? Anyone is using it on older Levos? thanks in advance!

Latest upgrade: amazing Formula Selva S (or R, depending on the mood, I just installed R air spring for a comparison). I didn't realise that something could perform better than custom tuned Lyrik Ultimate with DSD Runt and Fox 38 I recently compared to Selva Selva is a MUCH better performer...

Precisely. On my previous Shimano e8000 in the Boost mode the overrun was max half a turn of the chainring. It’s a kind a fun, but still worries me when it will break. Asked my friend mechanic to contact local Specialized representative for the warranty claim. What upsets me is that I mostly...

@Specialized Rider Care Hi. Recently my Levo 2021 gained the ability to pedal itself without me touching the pedals ) It happens when the cadence is low and on level road when I’m slowly moving my feet off the pedals with pedaling slowly. Also I can switch assist modes and the motor is applying...

I suppose that this restriction is due to a weak spline interface on a long run. Shimano spline interface is much stronger on a crank shaft due to thicker walls. But it may also be a kind of myth that the ebike "needs" the ebike-specific wheels. I still believe that Centerlock interface does not...

220 mm MDR-P fits Gen 2 Aluminum without a problem. I see no reason why the wouldn't fit on Gen 3.

If you go with Runt, all of tge described above can be be done with suspension pump. Plus you’ll have a bit better small bump sensitivity as a bonus. Actually I was pretty happy with my Lyrik before Runt, now I feel that I want more complicated damper as I can feel how it works))) Might also try...

For all Lyrik and Fox 36 owners I STRONGLY recommend DSD Runt. I gave a proper test and it’s a perfect upgrade! Now I’m considering jumping on Fox 38 and the only thing that’s stops me right now is the lack of Runt. Considering Runt performance. It came with shims and small spring, so I...

Love my custom 2021 Levo. Already seen three errors, learned how to kickstart it without power button while moving it rearward fast :D But still it's a super ebike! Had Merida eOne-Sixty 2019 and it was very good, tried different ebikes including 2021 Merida and Moterra, but Levo is a clear...

Some interesting fact regarding TTX Air. I have Lyrik Ultimate RC2.1 and DSD Runt installed. Recent trip to the mountains with stoke Deluxe just revealed how brilliant my Lyrik performed. But after trying TTX Air it became clear how crappy my fork performs, so now I'm thinking of trading Lyrik...

Specialized makes a lot of at least strange engineering "decisions" =)) But the suspension works great, I appreciate how it works even with basic Deluxe. That's why I prefer to stay away from the coil shocks due to their small shaft OD, especially for a heavy guy like me. I hope my TTX Air will...

Spherical bearing in the eyelet address this issue for both air and coil shocks. Ohlins does offer them as a spare part (compatible with almost all modern shocks). Torsional flex doesn't affect air shocks due to large OD of shaft, but can break coil shock shaft due to small shaft OD (there are...

No offense ? Year, I was aware of the huge side load and that why I went with TTX Air as it is as meaty as Deluxe, but the problem lies within damper itself. I’ll order spherical ball bearing in the top eyelet when it will be repaired or replaced.
