After the automatic charge limit stopped working quite some time ago, I've discovered that by manually charging to 80% all the time, the battery's internal cells become quite unbalanced. You notice this when you check battery level straight after a ride, and again about 2 hours after the ride...
With the price of Levos going up all the time, it's a wonder Spesh doesn't Data-Dot the paintwork the same as cars. Make it really hard for the counterfeiters.
Mission control still works on my 2019 Levo, although they've dropped firmware and service support. Check to see if MC still can work on your 2017 for tuning and rides. I never used MC or the black app for riding.... always used BLEvo instead.
I am convinced Specialized (or their I.T. contractors) don't know how to write good software. The number of bugs that take forever to address is terrible. BLEvo shows how good software development is done.
Has anyone using this App seen a notification for new TCU/motor/battery firmware available? Spesh website says the Bike Status field in the app should alert the owner to new firmware.
My understanding is that the App can't do FOTA updates the way Mission Control used to. The latest version of...
I got the same message from MC for my 2019 Levo. So I installed the Specialized App, and guess what? It has NO functionality to view OR update the bike's firmware. I've only ever used MC for firmware updates, and use BLevo for all my rides.
I'll wait until the end of this month to check that...
I'm talking about Levo (not SL) specifically, but this may apply to other product lines as well.
Specialized Australia have told me "the Swiss team" will have a firmware fix for this problem in the next month or two, and that it will most likely be an OTA update that can be performed with...
Yep, same here for my Gen2 Levo. After the first factory reset I got another 9 limited charges before it went back to 100%. Factory resets no longer work.
I've contacted Specialized Support and they're aware of this problem, saying they expect an update 'soon' that will fix this permanently...
It turns out my rattle was the dropper post and/or cable. I took out the dropper post for a minor shaft clean and lube, realigned the release mechanism and reinstalled, taking out the slack in the cable within the carbon frame. Really hard to pick this one given it only made a noise while...
Yeah, I get a slight rattle only when pedaling. I think it may have something to do with backlash in the motor's internal gears. The sprag clutch is fine. Rattle happens on any road surface, and goes away when you load the motor up, i.e. climbing.
I've had this since a new motor was fitted 18 months ago. Removed, lubricated, Loctite'd and torqued all motor bolts with limited success. I think it's the motor flexing in the carbon frame.
Hi Paolo,
I've detected a really weird problem with the way BLEVo is recording elapsed distances in the FIT and CSV files. It is an intermittent and random problem occuring in only a few records of each file. See screen shot of CSV below:
Notice how some records have duplicated the...
The biggest ride I regularly do uses 50% of my 700Wh battery, so this feature is a winner for me. Plug in the charger and forget about having to manage the cutoff. Given I was recently told about AU$2000 for a new battery, I'm keen to prolong the life of this one.
My Levo is a 2019 with the standard (blue LED) TCU. After I had the battery firmware updated I had about 8-9 charges (from around 55%) up to the charge limit of about 81% with no problem...the limit cutout worked every time. On about the 10th partial charge, the charger kept going to 100% so I...
I use a Connex 11sE on my 2019 Levo. I chemically strip and hot wax with paraffin and teflon every 500km. So far this chain has done 3000km with the chain checker still on 0.25% wear. The environment I ride in is dry and dusty rural roads and fire trails, but never wet or muddy. Wet...
