Rear brake hose is also easy because the hose goes thru internal routing housing within the frame. You can pull a new hose thru using a hose connection barb of the type described in post #3068 earlier in this thread...
We took our Creo SLs to Death Valley Natl Park last week for some road riding.

You might take a look at Ergon’s new Core saddles.
They’re expensive, but the comfort is amazing!
The power difference is roughly a factor of 2. So you could get some idea by cutting your assist levels by half and setting the peak power limit to 50% at each assist level.
I did just that a year ago when mrs levity sold her Levo and bought a SL. Riding together she did fine, but she's quite a...
Cloudy, damp and cool (50-60F) "winter-time" on the coast in So. Calif. this week, so we headed to the Anza Borrego Desert State Park for some sun and warmer temps (70-80F). Fun times playing in the arroyos and narrow side canyons.

@Shinn - it’s really easy to pull a new rear brake cable through the SL frame using the barb connector. Much easier than having to do a full bleed if you disconnect the hose.
While you’re at it I suggest switching from SRAM to a better performing brand. I’m very happy with the Shimano SLX M7100...
@apac ^^ got it right. We like a 29x2.8 Maxxis Rekon on our Stumpjumpers for the rock ledges at Moab and thought it should also fit the SL since they have similar rear triangles.. We’ve been able to squeeze it in (a true 2.8 on an i45 rim), but it’s tight. Only 3mm clearance at the seatstay...
Here are a couple of SL motors that are running fine with >1000 km -
Levo SL, 9 months, 2,336 km
Creo SL, 3 months, 1340 km
And then there’s my regular Stumpjumper whose motor is over three quarters of a century old with an untold number of miles. Peak power and range are down, but it’s...
