    Levo Gen 3 Replacing free hub and inner bearings, on a stock 2023 Levo - thoughts or tell me what parts to buy?

    Hi folks - I am not quite a newbie, but I only recently decided that after the local bike shops all let me down, I would do all the tough bits myself.

    How easy is it to fit a Specialized dropper post yourself?

    I've seen them on ebay for about half the retail price and although I'm handy-is with an allen key, routing cables etc seems to be more of a challenge on a bike like a levo? Has anyone done it before? cheers!
