    Other Finally managed to spruce up 5 year old Levo

    I've been thinking it about for a while and I have finally decided to give the Levo a new look. The paintwork was well used after 5 years and thousands of miles of mud / riding. What do you think?

    Hi all. My Levo Comp is now 3.5 years old and I was wondering how are other peoples Levo of similar age still performing. My Levo isn't quite a Triggers broom yet, but there have been lots of changes since I first wheeled it out of a Specialized Concept Store in Jan 2017. Motors, by far the...

    After about 3-4 weeks of not using the Levo, I finally managed to get out for the club ride last Thursday evening, only to find after about 2miles the one way clutch on the crank arm started slipping ? I nursed the bike home and stripped it down to the motor to find that something had failed...

    2017 Levo with 2018 handlebar remote

    Hi all. Up until yesterday I have been running a Garmin remote linked to the Levo and the 820. This has worked perfectly apart from - in my opinion the remote was vulnerable in a crash and especially when the bike is upside down, plus the handlebar mount / clip was not all that great / secure -...

    My Levo upgrades - wheels, brakes, cassette and stem / handle bar.

    Finally got all my bits (No thanks to Tredz - another story) and I have to admit what a amazing upgrade they have made. I have gone for the Hope 35W wheels with Pro 4 hubs and they feel great, a lot stiffer than the stock wheels. I also went with the Hope Tech 3 lever with E4 calipers and Hope...

    I went back to the dark side today....and in a strange sort of way - it was great ?

    Took my old faithful 2006 Schworks out for a spin today, first time I have done a proper ride on it in years. What I noticed was - how light, made such a difference, - little wheels, it turns in so quickly - no effort needed, - the gears, 3x9 Shimano XT setup and they shifted so smooth...

    Strava group

    Hi. Couldn't find anything when I did a search, but has anyone thought about setting up a emtb Strava group? I am part of the local cycling club on Strava and I thought it would be good to see how far around the globe this club stretches out, plus how many miles we are doing and which seem to be...

    Hi all, been looking at ways to stop mud accumulating on the frame at the lower pivot point as well as stopping small stones getting into this area which were getting trapped and damaging the frame.

    Hi all. Cleaning the bike and the chain and when turning the crank to clean the chain, I noticed some resistance (seemed higher than before) and you could hear what sounded like motor / gears turning. Does anyone else experience this please?

    Battery usage in the cold

    Was in Coedy on the weekend on the Levo and when I went to give the battery a quick top before the ride on Saturday it basically would not charge and would not switch on. Basically just beeped and flashed 3 red lights. The bike had been out in a locked bike shed overnight with about 12 other...

    Levo damaged freehub and seized wheel bearing

    Had a great ride at Cannock on Sunday only to find last night that the wheel bearing had seized / become very stiff in the rear hub. On stripping down the rear hub I also found that one of the pawls within the freehub has sheared and so is only latching on 2 pawls, images below show good and...

    Brakes getting spongy / excessive travel!!!!

    Anyone else have problems with there brakes getting spongy after a few months riding? The brake lever travel also starts to increase which is a right pain, as when decending on some steep single tracks you struggle to get the rear to lock up. It's the rear one which gets effected the most, I...
