Levo Gen 2 SPECIALIZED TURBO LEVO-CHANGING GEAR CABLES

[Kath Harpley]

Hi guys. Help please. I want to change the inner and outer gear cable on my Levo Turbo. I have done this before on my Scott which was externally routed. Never done an internal routing before. Can anyone point me in the direction of a step by step guide to do this, on this particular e-bike. I have checked out You Tube videos so have the basic idea but need to know how to release cables etc. Any help appreciated.

Get yourself a Reverb barb, it joins the ends of the housing so you can push/pull the new and old ones.

I've been through a few inners but left the outer in place so far. This is relatively easy, assuming you don't make the mistake of dismantling the shifter completely which explodes into 20 pieces.

you might want to try the inner only first depending on what your issue is with the cable.

I did it as discribed in the Workshop manual

It's worth considering Gary's advice, to cut a cm from the ends of the outer/housing.

haven't seen that, what was the thinking behind it? presumably that bit wears out quicker?

Pretty much. Moisture and fine dirt can get in, also I find that the derailleur end is easy to get kinked as it can be exposed.
