Levo Gen 2 Headset bearing for Levo 2020

[beerglass]

In the manual it states 1-1/8" (41.8mm x 30.5 x 8mm, 45x45°) Campagnolo Standard compatible upper bearing and a 1.5" (52mm x 40 x 7mm, 45x45°) lower bearing

Anyone know where to buy these bearings from please

Check out Edgesportsuk.com. Note you need upper bearing with 30.5 internal diameter not 30.1. Bottom bearing is easier to find. It's basically IS 42 standard top and IS 52 bottom....but heights vary!

 

[Mikerb]

Use the Specialized Headset Selector on the site to select the correct top and bottom bearing rather than look for a set.

 

[Mikerb]

Or simplybearings.co.uk for a bigger choice of quality. E.g upper bearing £13 or £40! There are also 2 versions...take a look at yours to see if it has an extended lip on the inner chamber or not. They have both versions.

Kinetic bearings TH070 and TH870E.

Just bought 2 from Mountain Bike Bearings, MB Bearings , Bike Bearings Specialists

I get all my stuff there now, good quality and reasonably priced

Kinetic bearings TH070 and TH870E.

TH 070 is 7.5mm high...Levo needs 7mm.............Correct bearing appears to MHP 16H8

I took the part number of the old bearings which are TH MR170 and TH MR121 which then crosses over to what I said.

you said TH 070 originally!

 

[Bumpy]

Yes because after putting my numbers in their website that's what Kinetic crossed them over too. They arrived and they are FSA bearings TH070 and TH870E. I did state "which then crosses over to what I said."

 

[Mikerb]

So confusing!!!!

Like the OP, I also need replacement headset bearings for my Levo.

Manual says :”1-1/8" (41.8mm x 30.5 x 8mm, 45x45°) Campagnolo Standard compatible upper bearing and a 1.5" (52mm x 40 x 7mm, 45x45°) lower bearing”

Will the FSA TH070 front and and TH870E rear be compatible?

 

[Mikerb]

on my 2019 the top bearing was TH 870e which has a lip. TH170 bottom bearing.

Mine is a 2019 as well and that’s what I ordered, thanks.

Following up on this as I bought a set of replacement bearings from Kinetic bearings. I paid for next day delivery but they never arrived, customer service told me I needed to wait as I had only paid for next day not guaranteed next day.

I ended up giving up and buying from my LBS who got an official Specialized (FSA) kit in for me within 24 hours and it only cost £2 more than the other route (£24 inc shipping for Kinetic vs £26 for Specialized). The OEM kit has the top cap and a spare bottom ring included as well.

Not Kinetics fault but worth considering that you may be able to source the OEM kit for similar prices and avoid the Royal Mail hassle.
