Levo SL Gen 1 Strange noises ?

[MBag85]

Hello,

I keep my bike indoors and I've started to hear random noises from the levo sl. It's powered off, not been used for a couple days and it randomly starts to make a metal ting ting ting noises like you'd expect from.metals cooling down. Anyone have any ideas?

It’s telling you ..... you need to get out and ride

I usually blame noises like that on the brakes - The pads in my G2 always rattle around unless i spread the metal spacer thing between the pads.

I could imagine that with the pads essentially just hanging loose on the screw-through retainer bar that even a minor tremor in your room would be enough to ping them against the disc. Like... is the bike parked in a draught?

OR, there is no real noises at all.

Your bike is haunted!

It's the hamster that motivates the rodent wheel in your "motor". It's just getting stir-crazy.

That's pretty weird. Is it fully charged when it makes the noises?

Yes, it's booked in Saturday at LBS to do the update and check it for any faults. It makes the noises whilst switched off.

I have Magura MT7 fitted, they're magnetic and screwed.. 100% not them. The noise comes from lower tube high up.

If it bothers you, turn up the radio!

Does it make the noises when it doesn't have a full charge?
Is the down tube warm when it's making the noises?

I'll let you know on Sunday, im going to leave it with around 30% and see if noises still happen. Bikes at room temperature , 20c
