I'll be 73 in March and came to the conclusion that I saved the maximum I could for so many years and worked since I was 13 years old (family business) for this time now BEFORE I leave this earth! I denied myself lots of things along the way too. Growing up we didn't suffer for the basics but...
I have the new Roval Control CF wheels installed now. The stock roval with tape and valve come to:
frt=934g
rear= 1030g
total=1964g (not sure why I didn't get 1870g but I saw the 1947g range for these listed elsewhere so I'm not far off)
The new CF wheels with tape and valves are:
frt=706g...
can anyone recommend crank arm boots that will fit the levo sl stock aluminum crank arms. If not I guess I’ll just buy a few from from Amazon to see which ones fit and send back the others. Thanks
Looking for what an off the shelf range extender? I just bought a levo SL expert carbon so I'm getting out of the range extender side hobby and selling my Focus too.
I had my first ride using the Lyrik Ultimate and DVO Topaz and the correct aluminum wheels. The dealer even thru in a hg-1295 cassette although it's 500% not the stock 520% but still very light. I would say it's very comparable to the stock Fox 36 Grip2 and Dpx2. I did have some issues...
LOL, well you heard it here. And it's an actual thing and I can honestly say I've never used that word at any time in my life before now!
I see "me" and "the" without a space but where did moglobin come from. Typing too fast and spell correction can be entertaining at times.
finally picked up my 2021 expert carbon sl. After I got it home and had the back wheel off I noticed it was very heavy on the scale. Turns out it’s a micro spine Shimano wheel, center lock brakes and Shia no cassette, all wrong per the spec. The original selling dealer doesn’t know what...

Here is one suggested to me for the redwood matte finish on my 2021 expert carbon SL.
Thank you for contacting TouchUpDirect.
Upon checking, Porsche Lava Orange paint is not a matte finish that might not work with your bike.
Unfortunately, the paint we have is only for motorcycle and...
The oriiginal receipt just says 2021 sl expert carbon And it was shipped from Pennsylvania to San Francisco to a lady that knew the bike shop owner. I think the factory just screwed up putting the wrong sticker on it. I’m guessing they could not get the wheels listed in the spec And made a...
The bike I just bought clearly says class 3 28 mph on the tag below the shock. Other differences from the 2021 spec are shimano wheels and cassette…I do not want a class 3 bike,,,seller did not say anything about this and their receipt ddi not say class 3
thewheels are heavier th@n the dt...
I don't understand why Specialized can't get us legitimate touch paint from their contractors in Taiwan. My 2021 bike is a satin/matte color called redwood. I've been led to believe that Porche lavaorange is very close. And they do make various inexpensive matte pens since I'm betting the...
Good advice, thanks. With spec you have to make sure the receipt shows the purchase amount too. Since it’s likely a cash transaction, meet in a police station parking lot. With covid19 you not be allowed to exchange money in their lobby but the lot has cameras and they gave me a number to...
This has been a crazy roller coaster ride trying to but a used Levi sl. The 6 week old expert carbon I found that is only 7 weeks old is back as a possible. It’s 500 miles north of me but the owners son has finally agree to bring it down this weekend while attending super cross in Anaheim...
i think I’m going to be buying a 2020 with xx1 shifter upgrades and rec brakes. Looking to move a 210x55 topaz t3 tand 2021 150 lyric to this sl. What do you weigh and how did you set up the topaz? I’m 155 with full gear a
My latest deal just fell thru. They are up in SF and I'm in San Diego..7+ hr drive. We were planning on meeting half way but they are worried about me showing up, lol. I've had bikes quit running on tests, one guy suddenly decided to keep it when I wanted to look at it (140 miles, expert...
Nice. San Diego here too. Looking for a carbon SL and had more than one deal fall thru so far. My latest looks like it might be a bust too…up in SF area and we thought we had an easy way to get it down as far as Anaheim but that failed. It was a 2021 expert carbon like new. i really want to...
Thanks. It's not only the wheel weight but the engagement with the i9's. Not sure how the meshes with the sl engagement. My Shimano is very coarse at the motor and I am running the hybrid dt swiss 350 hub with a coarse 24t engagement. At 1870g though, it will be the last thing I change if...
