    Levo Gen 3 Handling on Carbon Expert

    I used the extra headset cup to steepen my headset angle by 1 degree. I rode the bike stock for a month to see if I could get used to the wheel flop, and then I made the swap. The change felt like hopping off a dog sled and getting on a bicycle. YMMV.

    Levo Gen 3 My Levo is constantly breaking down is this normal ?

    FWIW, About a year ago, the first eBike I ever rode was forcibly loaned to me by a well-meaning friend despite my reservations about riding such a device. We took two Bafang-equipped QuietKat fat bikes on a weekend camping trip to the Colorado mountains. During the trip, the bikes sat out...

    I rode in Florida in the 80s and 90s before eBikes. Spent time in 70s thru 80s at Big Cypress, Fakahatchee, Corkscrew, Collier and the National Park, but in canoes, airboats, and swamp buggies. FWIW, I now live in Utah. Have an impression that trails are established in Southwest Florida now...

    Levo Gen 3 My Levo is constantly breaking down is this normal ?

    What actually happened is that most riders gradually decided to avoid riding in mud. The gritty sand is still a big problem, but most riders seem to have figured out that riding in mud costs too much money. But not everyone:

    Good for you. I started riding MTB during the early-1980s in the swamps of Florida, USA (you can look up the rainfall stats). The mud was made up of ancient grains of shattered quartzites that persisted after the disintegration of the Appalachian mountains. We got one good ride out of the...

    Levo Gen 3 My Levo is constantly breaking down is this normal ?

    The shop where I bought my gen 3 Turbo Levo has a rental fleet of about 50 Turbo Levos. I've never heard the mechanics complain about unordinary maintenance with this portion of their fleet, and they are under pressure to make nightly turnarounds to honor commitments to the tourists who have...

    Levo Gen 3 Turbo Levo: Where do you put your power control switch?

    Hi, thanks. That's where I have had it since I built the bike up, but just a few minutes ago, in anticipation of some AQLab innerbarends arriving in the next few days, I moved the switch inboard of the brake lever. It will be a reach, but I don't use the switch that often and really only at...

    You had me at "the chain snapped" (and "2 other links were cracked").

    Levo Gen 3 Turbo Levo: Where do you put your power control switch?

    I guess I'll have to break out the CD-Rom and read the instructions. :-)

    Levo Gen 3 Turbo Levo: Where do you put your power control switch?

    Turbo Levo: Where do you put your power control switch? I currently have mine mounted between the hand grip and the brake lever bracket, but I sometimes bump the switches when I rest my palms on the bars. I am thinking about moving the switch to the inside of the brake lever. I am also...

    Levo Gen 3 Are the rides collected on Specialized iPhone App accessible via web browser?

    Thanks. I just used your suggestion, ride.specialized.com, and found my info, but I do not see any links or suggestions in the app or on their website directing me to that subdomain. Anyway, it's all working well now. Thank you.

    Levo Gen 3 Are the rides collected on Specialized iPhone App accessible via web browser?

    Hi, I like the new Specialized App, but the display seems cramped on my iPhone 14plus. Is there a web interface that mimics the app, which can be viewed with a web browser? Thank you!

    Levo Gen 2 Had to buy a new phone for the new Specialized App. Will my old rides transfer?

    Levo Gen 2 Had to buy a new phone for the new Specialized App. Will my old rides transfer?

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. If I understand correctly, that page describes a very old version of Mission Control and a newer version. If I understand correctly, Mission Control is being retired completely, and a new app with a new name is the replacement. That's what I am asking about...

    Levo Gen 2 Had to buy a new phone for the new Specialized App. Will my old rides transfer?

    Hi, I finally had a good reason to get a new smartphone. The Mission Control app tells me it will time out on January 31, 2024. The new phone arrives tonight. Will my Mission Control ride data transfer to the new app? Thank you.
