    Levo Gen 2 2021 Turbo Levo Comp motor removal to access shadow loop for dropper housing?

    Just returning with my own update. After my last replacement motor the dropper lever was noticeably tighter than before so i assumed they just trapped the cable again. So after removing the crank and motor side case, i tried to feed the outer back through but with no luck. After 10 minutes of...

    Turbo Levo Comp adding a display?

    I just use my garmin vivoactive watch. Speed, distance, time, heart rate all work independently of the TCU so i can ride any bike with it. Plus it syncs with Strava at the end of the ride and uses way less battery than my phone does. The only thing its missing is cadence but i can live...

    Levo Gen 3 how do I get these bearings outs?

    Yep, i'd agree with Miker B on how its done Dave. Ask CMC how they did it when you pick the bike up and you can borrow my blind bearing puller and slide hammer set to give it a go yourself next time.

    Levo Gen 3 Sticking Manic Dropper?

    Mines a large frame. It's been a while but I am pretty sure there's a compatibility checker on the oneup website. 2,500 miles and over 2 years later and the post is still perfect. :)

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

    Bugger. Every day's a school day it seems. I think its silicone based but not checked - unscientifically it's whatever Mr Besos sent me after using the crappy search bar. :) Ah well, I'm only applying outside the seals so if it gets inside then water would too and it'd be dead anyway...

    Has anyone actually replaced their TCU Battery?

    Likewise no luck with tweezers but used my dental/seal pick and it worked just fine.

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

    Back on topic, I'm on motor 3 after 2 1/2 years. A mate riding his sworks gen 3 Levo in the same conditions has just had motor 2 fitted. All failures were preceded by stiff cranks when pedalling backwards which i am 99% sure was water ingress and a rusty sprag clutch because the stiff cranks...

    Blast from the past..... Levo dropper cable routing.

    Levo Gen 2 2021 Turbo Levo Comp motor removal to access shadow loop for dropper housing?

    Have you had a new motor by any chance? My replacement got fitted without using the guides on it at all - basically cables and wires all connected up and the motor just shoved in afterwards. Shadow loop unused in other words. Everything worked well enough and it means that my next motor will be...

    Levo Gen 2 2021 Turbo Levo Comp motor removal to access shadow loop for dropper housing?

    Mine came with the dropper cable running directly from the sidearm to the dropper. Not via the shadow loop at all. TBH it worked just fine but I re-routed it without dropping the motor at all - I just followed the video. Not sure if that's actually helpful but hopefully reassuring that you...

    Levo gen2 battery repack

    I've repacked plenty of lithium ion battery packs for lights over the years but wouldn't contemplate doing it on my levo. Like others have said, there's too much risk and too much to go wrong to save a few quid. Plus you are unlikely to get the same quality cells as the specialized original (no...

    Dropper post clamp question on a Whyte e150rs

    Yep, thats it Steve. A mate rides the e160rs and that has the intergrip one which is like a bolt through the frame which has a slight cutout for an interference fit with the seatpost. The interference bit has a taper at each end from memory. TBH it seems like a needlessly over engineered...

    Dropper post clamp question on a Whyte e150rs

    A bit late perhaps but if it's 6nm then my guess is that it is an intergrip clamp, not the standard sort. Might be too late if you already crushed it but I would have suggested taking the intergrip bolt out and stripping it right down and greasing up the tapers to make sure it moves smoothly...

    Waterproofing your ass?

    I've got the original mudhugger and like others gave said, it works a treat as long as you leave it at stock length..... but it is fugly. I switched to a much less obtrusive zefal defender rs75 which hugs the wheel instead and it is just as good TBH. I keep an enduro guard on all year anyway...

    Horizon v2 wheels….

    Update on mine. Running on a mullet Levo for almost 2 years now and its been faultless. I replaced the hg hub body with xd a few months back and found a slight wear mark on the hub but no discernable bearing play. The only very slight niggle is that the anodising/colour on the spokes and rim...

    Other Plymouth Concept Store

    Bought my Levo from Certini (Plymouth-but-really-Saltash Concept Store). Sent a video of the cranks turning the cassette backwards and a couple of weeks later they booked me in for a same day motor swap. Done and dusted in 3 hours. :)
