I have a Levo SL and fast and technical trail riding is the extent of my 30 years of riding...never been on a gravel or road bike and understand it is a very different sport than what I'm used to. I'm old now and considering getting a Creo to ride with my son-in-law on the gravel. Wondering if...
I only have a Levo SL and am 6'2" and 210lbs (I'm pushing 60 and am in decent shape for someone who works lots of hours per week). When I'm riding with my buddies that have FF bikes, I keep my bike in Trail (set at 60/75) and they ride in Eco mode. With my range extender, at the end of a 4 hour...
I measured it at 63.8 degrees...but honestly, I take that with a grain of salt... I measured it with the level tool on my iPhone and with the buttons on the side, it really doesn't sit flush on the fork tube. It is probably close but not completely accurate. Definitely like the way it rides...
Got it all put together. 170mm 29r on front. Mullet rear. X2 shock with 55mm stroke. The only thing left to do is ad some pixie dust to make the rain stop.
I received my CC link today and installed it and then removed all air from the shock to check clearances. Unfortunately, the link contacted the rear triangle on full compression. Sadly will be returning the link. So, to summarize, on my 2021 Levo SL Expert size XL with the rear shock swapped out...
Here’s my math:
this is the math I used:
Stock Linkage: 52.5mm stroke with 150mm travel equals ratio of 2.857
Stock Linkage: 55mm strokeX 2.857 = 157.135
Cascade: 52.5mm stroke with 153mm travel (from Cascade webpage) equals ratio of 2.914
Cascade: 55mm stroke X 2.914 gets me 160.28.
Received some info from Cascade that I'll post here for others reference. I'll post pics of my install when it's complete. Quote from Cascade: "Thanks for reaching out about running the 55mm stroke shock on your Levo SL with our link. Due to variances in frame construction, a fair amount of...
Sounds like the Cascade Link on a FF Levo with a 55mm stroke shock works and doesn't have any contact issues. I have a '21 SL that I've put a 55mm X2 shock on. Does anybody know if the geometry of the frame on the SL is different enough that the Cascade Link will not work with a 55mm shock on...
I have a '21 SL that I've put a 170mm 36 on the front and a 210x55 shock on the rear and mullet. I run it with the flip chip low...some peddle strikes, but not too bad. Question on your math - looking at the Cascade Link, I come up with getting 160.28mm of rear travel with the 55mm shock. Here's...
I’m 57 / 210 lbs (95 Kg) and am in okay shape for my age and profession, but never have been a good climber and during the best of times am only able to ride a max of twice a week.
I tested the SL / Levo / Heckler - although testing them on the side roads near the bike shop did little to let me...
