Loose boost spacers

[Trumpet]

Does anyone else have the above on the standard roval hubs on the Levo? Mine rattle around between the hub and fork legs and it drives me bonkers!

Came across this when looking for a wheel bearing issue. Not sure if it's the same wheel hub from the photo but the principle of what it does may help.

They use orings to snap fit in place. Maybe you are missing these orings. There will be 2 as these spacers are 3 piece.

Mine made a rattle so I put sum grease on it

I have the exactly the same at my front wheel hub which came with the Levo 2019 Comp. I can easily turn the spacer around with my finger when the wheel is fixed in the fork.

I am however not sure if this is normal or abnormal? Never was concerned about it as I just thought it was designed in this way.

Stupid design

Cheers! I'll inspec later.

On my Levo Comp 2020 the front wheel turns a little back and forth even when the brake is applied.
Is that OK, anyone else having the same? I have not noticed that on any other bike.
The Levo was on the work stand, so it is not coming from the headset.
The axle is tight.

Check your rotor bolts ?

All six rotor bolts are tight, 6Nm. Really strange.

Fyi, I found the reason why my front wheel turns a little back and forth when the brake is applied.
I recently upgraded the rotor to Magura MDR-P 220mm which has a two pice design. The outer friction ring has by design some play, due to the expansion when heated. All fine

I just push a little grease between the hub and the boost spacer then wipe off the excess. Never squeaked or rattled.

I tied using an external o-ring and that did solve the rattle that but introduced some rotational drag. I also tried adding grease inside the spacer and that also worked but only for a while and had to be redone periodically. So I ended up putting a small piece of electrical tape on the bottom side overlapping the spacer and fork where it's not visible. Noise is gone with no drag and lasts indefinitely.
