    SRAM's new 2023 Drivetrain allows full power shifts

    Since my 2020 Levo does not look like the above I guess I can stop trying to rationalize why I need to upgrade.

    SRAM's new 2023 Drivetrain allows full power shifts

    Thinking about the same thing but for a Gen 2 (2020) Levo. Which would seem to work with the kit you found. However, although the doc for the Gen 3 Levos state UDH compatibility. I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on whether the Gen 2 Levos use UDH.

    Bike computer or mobile phone

    I use a cheap android phone BV6000 running BLevo. I'm an iPhone user but it was only about $100 back when I got it, but it's rugged, has a barometer, and runs all day with the screen on bright enough to see

    Regular cleaning and maintenance in dry/dusty/rocky areas

    My bike looks just the OP's picture. It seems to collect duct like a magnet after nearly every ride. When it's time to relube the chain I do hose it off but most of the time I just leave it and only wipe down the shock posts. However, when I feel like bothering, a once-over with the air...

    Genuinely curious tire ?

    I was wondering about that on my ride earlier today. Since my current rear (Maxxis DHF) will need to be replaced pretty soon I was thinking about moving my front Assegai to the back and getting a new one for the front. However, I went through the Max Terra compound DHF on the rear pretty fast...

    Levo Gen 2 Are Brose & Specialized Fixing Their Motor Problem ?

    I've still got a while left on my 4yr extended warranty but after a couple thousand miles on my 1st replacement motor I think the spray clutch is going. I did have a fairly mild pedal strike a few rides ago and can't help but wonder if the upgraded version referenced in this video might have...

    Levo Gen 2 Are Brose & Specialized Fixing Their Motor Problem ?

    Their website suggests US customers order from Home - eBike Motor Repair so I'm guessing shipping would be more reasonable

    Grip shifter ……..thoughts?

    I've loved and preferred grip shifters over the years on a number of bikes and had zero problems with inadvertent shifts. Only reason I haven't swapped for them on my current bike is I'm contemplating moving to AXS.

    Levo Gen 2 Are Brose & Specialized Fixing Their Motor Problem ?

    I did have an issue with the original motor on my 2020, but the replacement has been going strong ever since. Coming up on 2400 miles of all smiles. The extended warranty from Specialized is nice but 🤞I won't need it. I love the bike way too much to let a possible problem bother me and with...

    Derestricting Levo 2020

    How are you measuring the speed you are going? If you are using the Specialized app or some other one that is getting it's speed from the bike then using a planetary mechanism it would think the bike is going only 15 when in reality it's going some ratio faster than that. That's basically the...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo - Creaking Cranks

    You might double check that your your cassette/hub/axel is still tight. Last year I developed a creak that sounded just as you described, only under load and swore it was coming from the crank. After unable to do anything about it on the trail, I took it in to the LBS where I purchased it and...

    Ebike Acceptance

    There are a few influential and very vocal people in our area working very hard to keep eBikes off most of my local trails. However just one state over they are much more realistic with this statement “Class 1 eBikes are allowed on all mountain trails because they require human input and are...

    Eco Mode

    Or if you have a Levo you could just set eco mode to be 90% assist and 100% peak power and tell everyone you always ride in "eco" ;)

    The Official BLEvo Thread

    This approach is another less expensive alternative that works very well with BLEvo. (Similar plans can be found for those what to print their own.)

    Tow bar bike racks, what are people using?

    1up superduty. I only need a single but it will do 3 bikes (50 – 75 lbs) or 4 bikes (50 lbs or less)
