    Levo Gen 3 170mm on gen3

    Increased the travel on my Mezzer to 170 about 4 rides ago after 2 years at 160. Nothing negative noticeable except for a new headset creak that I have to go find.

    SRAM AXS Reverb reverse sag.

    I'm not saying it's not convenient. Just hit the button and raise the seat first. Run a quick google search and you will find plenty of warnings about lifting a reverb equipped bike by the seat. Of course all these warnings are from people who's dropper now doesn't work properly, not from...

    SRAM AXS Reverb reverse sag.

    It is not recommended to lift the bike from the seat when the post is down. Air can pass the IPF which will eventually require a full rebuild to correct. You'll end up with a post that feels like it's sucked down.

    SRAM HS2 rotor or wheel hub .

    As suggested above. Test all the rotors on a truly flat surface. Glass or whatever. I highly doubt they are off 3mm. A mm looks likes like a mile when your playing with the limited space between the pads.

    Mastermind TCU to TCU 1

    Yes. I did the downgrade and installed an old style TCU on my Gen 3 Levo Pro so I can still use Blevo. I did have to do an update on Turbo Studio in the shop to get it to work.

    Turbo levo 2023 not turning on

    Are you sure the power cable is fully inserted? Some of them need a good amount of pressure to fully seat. If you just let the magnets do their thing and hold it in place it doesn't always work. Mine current one definitely takes some force. My previous bike didn't care.

    Levo Gen 3 DIY, Sprag bearing replacement?

    Belt looks good to the naked eye but black dust everywhere. Looks like the the inside of the motor cover got shaved away.

    Levo Gen 3 BELT FAILURE

    It's not a warranty. If they want to warranty it they can have my motor back.

    Levo Gen 3 BELT FAILURE

    Well, on the bright side Specialized offered 50% discount on a replacement motor for a non-warranty failure. Not sure if this is new policy or how long they will offer that, but that's what was offered for mine. Made it too cheap to pass up. I'll open up the old motor and see what the damage...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo Advice - Problem Solved

    Does the upgrade have an improved sprag clutch bearing? I think I remember you saying these are being damaged due to crank arms hitting rocks rather than just moisture. My bike is rarely ever wet, but I do tend to smash my cranks into our rocky trails.

    Levo Gen 3 DIY, Sprag bearing replacement?

    Has anyone ordered a pair of the sprag bearings and attempted to replace them? Mine are getting worse by the ride. Not sure if it's a DIY job. I might just order a new motor and then attempt the bearing replacement just to have a spare working motor. I can't get more than a year out of them...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo Advice - Problem Solved

    This only works if they have motors in inventory. That is not always guaranteed, but it's still a large proactive expense.

    Levo Gen 3 BELT FAILURE

    Rather than start another thread I'll jump in here. @Bearing Man, Any way to determine if it's a Sprague clutch vs. a belt without taking it apart? MY 22 Pro has been over running for a while now. It's motor #2 and my warranty expired in May. It threw a code for motor failure-Belt on Turbo...

    The New Official BLEvo Thread

    Trying to figure out why the amount of power at any given setting changes depending upon which direction I enter it. For example. If I'm in Turbo, but then switch down to Trail or Eco settings, I will get noticeably more support in Trail and Eco than if I had started in off, or Eco and moved up...

    Levo Gen 2 End of life for the Levo?

    I'm a dealer and Specialized wouldn't do anything for me when a customer needed a new motor for his 2.5 year old Levo SL with less than 200 miles on it. They were perpetually out of stock. Customer finally started calling Specialized every day for two weeks and trying to elevate the claim. One...
