    Levo Gen 3 Power issues 22 Levo

    Yes several have had warranty batteries. Mine was tested on the specialized battery testing rig thing, and it passed. I had the 3rd flashing light symptom too. It would randomly not turn on, it never failed once on though. Issue went away after a new warranty battery . I don't see how...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL Gen 1 Shifter cable routing

    They must have removed them on the SL to save 0.0000001g weight. you could remove the shock, and rotate the rear triangle to see if it frees off, most of the friction seemed to come from where it comes out of the main frame/motor area and into the chain stay.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL Gen 1 Shifter cable routing

    are you aware there are cable clips under the shock that needs to be removed or at least loosened?

    Levo Gen 2 Help choosing between air or spring shock

    I put an Ohlins TTX on after my 3rd air shock failure. This was pretty much my experience too. Makes the back end feel track the ground more closely.

    Levo Gen 3 Rear shock can scored?

    For £57 I don't think its worth your time to mess about with. Just buy a new one and put it down to experience. Note that not all shops charge for warranty work like that. I've had loads and paid no claim charges.

    Levo Gen 3 Motor getting noisier

    mine went for months getting noisier and noisier. Got a warranty replacement in the end but this one never actually failed

    Other X-Fusion Manic Dropper Seatpost failure

    the seat collar needs to be the exact torque, more or less and you get problems. 6.2Nm IIRC You also need to make sure the cable connector on the bottom of the post isn't getting caught on all the cables down there. Seat post needs lifting slightly from the bottom position to give it...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Brake Hose stuck

    Have you removed the shock and undone the cable clips beneath it? you won't get far without doing that. Also I'd suggest use the old hose to pull the new one through by connecting them together.

    Levo Gen 3 22 Levo - Loose Headset

    Continuing this, Berkshire cycles looked at this for me. They recommended this Head Doctor - Head Doctor star nut replacement which looks as if it will now never move. This was fitted but I havent ridden enough to know if its fixed it yet.

    Other Kenevo / Levo swingarm linkage flex

    I've never understood how these bearings are sealed etc against the elements etc, max this that and the other, then they leave a notch which presumably just lets muddy water flood in. does anyone know if any of these bearings from other manufacturers come without that notch?

    Other Kenevo / Levo swingarm linkage flex

    I have about the same amount of movement. No real main source of it, but if it was completely immobile presumably the linkage wouldn't work at all! I recently bought enduro max bearings and they look like yours in the plastic sachets, and with the notch. Mine came direct from Wych Bearings...

    Levo Gen 2 Cranks and Pedals Change

    the crank bolts feel like they are tightening but its the self extractor mechanism. Just keep going slowly with a well fitting tool and it will release.

    Levo Gen 2 Levo Motor Noise and pulsing behaviour

    I don't think its the bike shop's decision. They said Spesh take longer to approve warranty claims now, up to 2 weeks, previously it was the same day. Of course if all drive has been lost, its an obvious warranty failure. Just noise is a bit more complicated presumably. The other option is...

    Levo Gen 2 Levo Motor Noise and pulsing behaviour

    Were they for noise, or complete failure?

    Levo Gen 2 Levo Motor Noise and pulsing behaviour

    My Levo 2020 motor seems to be getting louder and louder. It seems worse once I've been riding for a while, seems quieter when cold. There is also an assistance pulsing behaviour, when the left leg is on the downstroke the motor gives a little more assistance for quarter of a crank...

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

    depends on the hub you have. I am using hope, a new freehub body + bearings is almost the same price as just the bearings! I'd google roval / specialized freehub body and see what you find. The manual might also have part numbers. Check your wheel bearings too.

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

    Is the cassette nut tight? you need a cassette tool to check it. 40nm torque I think. If not you need to take the cassette off, pop the freehub off, and see whats worn or broken.
