Welcome! It sounds like life is treating you well ;)

@Norcalsl hinted at the solution above. I’ll spell it out: L e v o S L

@SquireRides - now you can turn up your power settings , go faster and have more fun! I try to adjust my SL power settings so that I end each ride with 10-20% battery. (do occasionally need to readjust the levels mid ride to prevent having to limp home ?).

@wagonrd – props for keeping the pedals turning at 88!!! (y)? Readers should be aware that the riding around Tahoe is all above 6,000 ft, the Flume and its access trails being 7-9k’ and aerobically demanding. The power of the Full Fat Levo is great, but you might be better off with the Levo...

All models of the SL that I've seen come with a cassette on the rear wheel. Just shift down and ride it like a bike rather than a motorcycle and you'll be fine. ;) @jbodnar here is 16+ stone and owns both SL and FF Levos. Maybe Jeff can chime in a compare the experiences.

You may not be seating it properly. The plug requires a good amount of pressure during insertion and needs to be rotated 90 degrees to fully engage and lock. You should feel and hear a “click” when it locks in place. Once locked it won’t release unless you rotate the lever back counterclockwise.

If it's just the bearings that have gone south you might consider just replacing these with a Specialized Service Kit. @Al Boneta at Orange Cycle not far from you has the kit in stock and can do it. (Requires bearing extraction and a press). You might send him a message here and/or call the...

left to right: 1- old school, general use (including Rockshox forks as mentioned by @cozzy and @RustyIron ) 2- with 5mm QR axle centering pin 3- with 12mm thru axle centering pin (best for cassettes on hubs with 12mm thru axle)

^^^ Nice, a perfectly balanced landing! His downhill training runs pay off. Still, I'm not sure the wheels/tires would have survived if he weighed a gram over 50 kg (110 lb).

Yes, it’s amazing how quickly the monsoon rains can transform the desert! Summer/Fall blooms can be as beautiful as those in the Spring. We’d welcome some of that rain here in SoCal!

Interesting, Nate. It certainly provides rim protection! It could be right for some trail conditions. But is seems to me like the setup described would be “glued to the ground” a bit too much with such heavy wheels and high rolling resistance. I think many likely prefer a more agile and lively feel.

Mrs levity and I had a chance to ride some trails in the Sawtooth area near Truckee, Calif., just north of Lake Tahoe. Here’s a cute sign at one trail junction. Didn’t see any beavers or bears, and the sign may need to be changed to read “2 Bridges (mind the gap)”. Fortunately, it was easy to...

^ Agree with @Doomanic. Be sure to look at the Ergon Core saddle. It’s a new design that incorporates a second layer that flexes with your sit bones. VERY comfortable, and a butt-saver on long rides or when carrying weight on your back. The slight give to the saddle even allows you to pedal...

Apologies, it was intended as a joke. I should have added a winking emoji ;) MANY nice pics in the original post! At least it gave you a bump.?

Got any pictures?

keep turing the pedals young man ?

Agree with all of the above replies including Steve's review in the video @Moe Ped posted. When you test ride the SL next week I recommend that you set Peak Power to 100% for all assist levels. That way you can get the full 240W (actually closer to 280W) if you put in the effort even at lower...

You need to seek professional help and find more in your life.

^^ Yep, it's a shipping spacer between the battery and its cover (to mimic the frame)

There may be some confusion about which "controller". The control switch on the handlebar is secured by a 2mm hex. The TCU control on the top tube is held in place with a T10 Torx screw.
