They both have two wheels, front and rear suspension, knobby tires, ride in the dirt, require line choice, yeah no comparison. That’s probably why I was faster than my friends the first time I ever rode a mtb.
Over biked on 170mm travel? Ok whatever. I can and do bottom out 170, even though I...
I ended up getting a 2023 rockshox super deluxe ultimate rc2t coil.
I called Ohlins to ask a question about my cart, left a message, and they didn’t pick up. I like the idea of the steel shaft, and the bling
In any case, the rockshox claims to be more durable for 2023, so we’ll see. It does...
I actually already ordered the 38e 170mm fork and the 2023 rockshox super deluxe ultimate rc2t coil (165mm travel).
I’m upgrading the carbon comp to something better regardless of the travel I choose, so it’s not really much extra cost to choose 170 vs 160.
I would guess I’ll be alright. My...
so the brose direct mount chainring is not compatible with the gen3 levo, as the support said, then?
If someone were to remove material from the direct mount chainring would it have a 55mm chain line? Sorry, I don’t really know how direct mount chainrings work.
Rockshox says their 2023 shocks are compatible with all known bikes except the kenevo and Commencal Meta TR Power, even though the 230x65 shock uses an aluminum shaft.
That said, I doubt they’ve considered the gen3 levo with an aftermarket link when making that list.
Rockshox told me the 23...
They said “I mentioned this earlier, but the chainline is determined by the motor and the motor spider or the direct mount chainring. If you were to use one of our direct mountchainrings, you would get a 55mm chainline. Unfortunately, because of the offset on the Turbo Levo models, our Brose...
I talked to SRAM tech support about the topic. They were super helpful.
I was asking if the 52mm chain line is alright, or if I need to find a way to get 55. They said:
“I reached out to one of our engineers in Germany about this, and he said that for bikes with a 148 rear axle spacing, the...
Thanks!! I did contact Rockshox and was waiting for a reply.
Great to know the 62.5 can be made 65 and work for the Levo with the link (edit: cannot do that, actually, without changing damper body apparently)
And here I was getting settled on the idea of a coil! Maybe it’s worth waiting for the 2024 Float X2, which Fox told me will be available in July. Tough call…
Thanks, that’s fair enough. I currently have a Nomad with 170/165ish travel (Fox factory stuff) and love it. My thought with the 170 was to try and match the Nomad.
I normally ride a dirt bike, so I’m used to quite a bit more travel than 160/170
Thanks, I’m leaning towards either the Ohlins or Rockshox coil. I did find a black coil for the rockshox, which I could live with.
Is there any difference in strength between the Rockshox coil and the Ohlins? I’m nervous about the yoke design breaking a shock.
I was trying to find info...
Thanks. Has anyone tried using a Fox 38e up front and an Ohlins TTX22m.2?
I’m thinking the fox 38e might suit me, since I’m hearing it’s nice and plush.
I’m a lightweight, slow, and timid rider.
I heard the Ohlins fork standard tune is more heavily damped, which I doubt I need at my weight...
I just bought a 2022/23 Levo Carbon Comp in a box.
I’m debating whether
1. I should build up the bike (with mostly custom parts) with the stock suspension first to see how it rides
2. Forget the stock suspension, just order the cascade link and a matching fork (170) and shock (230x65)
Is the...
Hey all,
Which shock should I get for my gen3 levo carbon comp? Im building a totally custom levo. I’m thinking of getting A 230x65mm shock, probably air. The current plan is to pair this with a cascade components long travel link.
I initially wanted a Fox Float x2, but have been reading they...
I’m trying to figure out chain line. I ordered 00.7918.280.002 for my 23 levo (
SRAM XX Eagle T-Type Ebike AXS Groupset - 104BCD 36T, Derailleur, Shifter, 10-52t Cassette, Clip-On Guard, Arms not)
If I get the Sram Brose direct mount chainring (CR-XX-BR-D1), will that give a 55mm chainline, or...
Does the gen3 levo use a standard or grunion shock mount? I’m trying to choose the right fox factory x2 shock part number to match a cascade long travel link
