It’s a disgrace that they are even selling you one if they no longer make batteries. What happens if your battery fails in the first year?

Thanks, that’s very helpful.

OK thanks, do you know where to get replacement bearings?

No idea whether it's just marketing but GMBN say that you shouldn't use petroleum based grease on carbon frames. Usually, the packaging says carbon safe, if compatible. I'll do some more research before buying.

Thanks. With it being a carbon frame, are what you recommended, carbon safe?

I have a Levo Carbon Expert and it has recently developed a clicking/creaking from the headset area. Is it an easy fix to regrease headset and do I need any special tools? What type of grease should I use?

Appreciate all the replies, thanks. I’m now totally confused😀 Should I use a hammer and screwdriver, a cheap kit or go expensive? Decisions, decisions!

Anyone used Bearing Pro Tools stuff. Made in Scotland and machined to fine tolerances. They do bike specific kits. Trouble is, if I buy a kit for each bike along with bearing puller kits, it’s approx £160. The Park Tools SBK1 kit is £250 and comes in a handy case with many different sizes...

Any recommendations?

Interesting, so you would recommend that set?

Tried that and buggered my frame🤣

Thanks for the advice.

I’m looking to replace pivot bearings on my Turbo Levo and the Wife’s Orbea Rise Hydro and wondered whether there was a generic tool I could buy to cover both bikes? Never done this before and don’t want to buy incorrect tools. Any advice gratefully received.

Yes, I’ll give them a call and see what they say.

I’m nearing the end of my 4 year motor warranty on my 2020 Levo Carbon Expert and have noticed that there is a little grinding when I turn the cranks backwards. It turns Freely but there is just a hint of resistance. I understand that Specialised won’t replace the motor unless it has stopped...
