Rear brake hose is on the wrong side, it should go through the non-drive side ports.

If you go on the left side it requires a large "S" turn to get around the bag/battery. If you go on the right side its a straight shot to the cable clips behind the battery....

This makes sense to me. It was a bit annoying to make that curve. I had to remove the cable guide insert thing to get the hose through and the reattach it.

That’s the way Spesh does it on their full builds. I helped a mate change the brakes on his comp and I didn’t find it that bad. It’s a little fiddly but I thought it was cleaner/easier than my gen 3.

They did! But +3 weeks wrestling without before finally arriving to dealer was a headache on new bike, especially since I ride about 5 days/week. Definitely stoked on the fix. Motor failure, not so much, especially on full gear, beltless driven system. Even my Levo3 motor lasted about 3,500 miles before crapping out. Not sure they have a fix for failed motor clutch sprag yet?

Did you ever get your new motor?

Curious how the Eagle kit deals with the added power of the motor ? but looks like you running Shimano chain and cassette ? if thats the case, how does it shift with the sram der and shifter ?

Mine up shifts under power with on problem, but I back off when down shifting to help save the chain and cassette from premature/catastrophic failure/damage......

I did, only took about a week or so. Did get another ebike (Wild) so dont have to be sidelined. Since motor replacement and new harness replacement fix, bike has been great. Happy and fortunate to be on two ebikes again now since load is cut in half. I ride 4-5 days/wk, often at high loads, so need two to take the heat off the bikes. Wild my dedicated backcountry trail bike and Levo as dedicated MTB trail center ripper
 
Hi

Is anyone here not riding SRAM and have experience of removing the preinstalled AXS hot shoe? Trying to understand if you can remove the AXS cable without dropping the motor?

The y-splitter cable that the hot shoe cable terminates (blue arrow drawn on my attached image) at could be removed but you’d need a replacement cable (shown in light green) to link the display and the wiring loom - but this appears to be unobtainium.

Almost just left with cutting the AXS hot shoe cable off and be done with it. However one of the wiring diagrams suggests it has a connector (red arrow) that I could remove it from, but this also seems hidden by the motor. Can anyone confirm this?

I’m pretty much resigned to dropping the motor but just hoping someone might know if I’m wasting my time as risking damage to wires in the process.

Any help appreciated

The blue wire and the hot shoe plug in together on top of the motor so yes the motor needs to be removed, and and once unplugged the hot shoe wire simply pulls out...

Thanks for the intel! Anything I should be wary of when reinstalling the motor?

Many thanks
 
Just joined and thought I would share my new G4 build .
Hope Brakes , Fox dropper , Swiss carbon wheels , Push nine one
It’s a great ride , loving the suspension , and power .
I have just received a range extender and this integrates well with main battery and gives the extra mileage I was looking for.

Managed to get my hands on the last S Works S5 Frameset from Chris and the legends at Berkshire Cycles Co and have collected some parts ready for this build. 8 weeks ago I had a total hip replacement and coming from gen 1, 2 and 3 x Gen 3 S-Works Levos, then an Amflow…. I am pleased to be back on a Specialized Bicycles for my rehab back to riding.

Nice except Magura.

Had them on last 2 bikes, best brakes I've run, recently ncluding MT7's, Hope V4's, Maven Ultimate Limited (Red) and Trickstuff Maxima. As a bigger rider, on a heavyish bike, these things slow, give good modulation and have never overheated, something the others cannot say. Horses for courses, but for me they are great.
