hey all, long time no post hope this finds you all well.
bit of help please
bike: '19 Turbo Levo Carbon Comp
problem: rear wheel 'wobbles' on the axle a little, axle is done up, I presume this is worn or failed bearings?
question: can I DIY a fix if so what parts tools do I need please?

I mashed my tibial plateau on Friday riding my Levo - I was washing out on a bend, instinctively put my foot down and the energy of the impact and rotation caused a serious injury - on their severity scale of 1 to 6 it was a ...
I was going too fast and it was 100% my fault. I'm not blaming the...
Bike / Product Year: 2019
Manufacturer: Specialized
Model: Turbo Levo Carbon Comp (Medium)
Asking Price: £4200
Location Dorking, Surrey, UK
Description Purchased late July 2019 (1 year warranty left) from Ace Cycles in Merrow Surrey.
Ridden XC and trail, never crashed or jumped (I'm a wheels...
I've had a V1 Following for 5 years, great bike. Just fun for where I ride (Surrey Hills).
I skipped the MB but the new version looks so sweet.
Help me here guys. It'snearly £6k for the XT build!!
I usually ride trails in 'Trail' mode ... cos that's what it's called!
Tried Eco today - much better, more natural, and it felt like the bike was more responsive. (Levo).
Talking twisty turny rooty burmey Sirrey Hills singletrack.
Give it a try folks!
Currently running a 2.5 Minion DHF front and the stock 2.6 Butcher rear on my '19 Levo.
I'm over tyred for these great conditions for where I ride (Surrey Hills) and what I do (singletrack, flow, I'm not into air or gnarr).
Thinking of moving the Butcher to the front and putting something...
Except for a range mitherer on an XC epic - why wouldn't you have this set to full?
Why would you want any delay between pushing pedal and getting power?
Am I misunderstanding?
So ....
On a bio bike I've been a confirmed 29er rider for years, I love how they hold momentum and roll. 650b seems daft to me except for aggressive DH (I'm not).
So I bought a Levo "like you do".
But the thought occurs - does the equation change on an ebike, since I'm not pedalling it...
can anyone who know about bits assess the VFM/benefits of the Expert over the Comp Carbon please, for the £1500 price difference.

I see some racks that do this. Would be handy in my garage if I could.
Is it OK to do? Doesn't *** up the dropper seals? (esp with a 50lb + e bike hanging from them).
Yes I realise bike weight is much less than rider weight, but rider weight compresses, hanging the bike basically stretches the...
got round Tarw Du at Coed Y Brenin on Saturday, 18km 457m of climbing (lots of it steep), on 60Wh (12% of my battery).
mostly I was on eco at 10% support, had it turned off on the flats and gentler climbs, and the occasional touch of trail mode to get round stabby bends.
I was riding with my...
Had this a few times - anyone else?
I'm guessing it wouldn't be great news in the wet.
May put some gaffer tape around the door for wet seal and in case that helps.
Anyone else had this?
The Fox 34s on my 19 Levo Carbon Comp are set 25% sag and no spacers, but I'm not getting more than 110mm travel from them.
I'm not doing big hucks or gap jumps so maybe I'd expect to come home with 10-15mm unused (that's my "get out of jail" card for when it all goes...
Has anyone priced up the upgrades (dropper brakes drivetrain forks shock.. yeah it's a long list) needed to make a base model Levo a capable trail bike, vs buying one of the pricier models?
Reasoning: I don't need the 700wH battery. The carbon frame is nice but not a must have.
None of the shops seem to have a trail-demoable 19 Levo in medium.
Anyone willing to let me have a go on theirs please? A bi of riding not just a sit on.
We can sort something out for your peace of mind. I'm a long term Dorking resident and 20 year local rider.
