I know what you are pointing out with the diagrams............but it is misleading to go by eyeline. Use a plumline with the weight on the floor directly below the bars and then rotate the bars until you get the highest point on the plumline (at the point on the bars where the diameter just...

I appreciate English is not your first language but if I have interpreted what you have explained above correctly, I believe you are referring to the adjustable headset cups which are standard on Gen 3 Levos. Regardless which setting the bike shop set on your bike all the resultant headset...

The main reason any part of the body may become painful is when it is asked to perform in a way....or at an angle....that is not optimal. Your wrist is designed to allow your hand to rotate very nearly 90 degrees upward and downward and about 45 degrees sideways left and right. It's strongest...

I assumed the cassette coming loose is caused by it hitting the chainstay or seat stay once the thru axle has come loose. I can't think of any other way the cassette nut could be loosened. Re torque for the thru axle 10nm feels low to me given it is in effect a 12mm bolt ........my thru axles...

I have heard of others using loctite on a thru axle but there should be no need. I would guess your issues stem from the thru axle coming loose....the cassette coming loose and getting damaged just a consequence of that. Likely root causes are rear wheel hub bearings knackered or not correctly...

Without knowing the design of your hub or freehub all I can do to help is give generic advice on overhauling both. Freehub: Usually has 2 sealed bearings often with a sleeve between them. In general terms you drift them out and replace with a bearing press. You need a fairly long thin bearing...

just to clarify, I assume you are referring to the thru axle coming loose as opposed to the hub axle? Also you say the cassette locknut is coming loose. I would suspect a problem with the hub bearings and /or hub axle causing both issues because something is clearly either binding or not...

Both my bikes have the DT Swiss full hybrid wheelsets and they have been faultless. I suspect the Levo is in fact using a DT Swiss ratchet freehub but not the hybrid version which DT Swiss specify for EMTB use due to the high torque they have to sustain. I dont think Spesh use DT Swiss hubs...

this site has the 36t kit in stock and the steel 24t kit due in soon https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/hub-spares/dt-swiss-24-tooth-service-upgrade-kit-for-star-ratchet-hubs-hybrid/

Put the cassette complete with freehub back on the wheel. Hold the cassette with a chain whip. Insert a shimano cassette tool into the centre of the cassette and unscrew counterclockwise. It will take some effort since tightening torque is 50nm. The cassette is one piece and will unscrew from...

Assuming it is DT Swiss!! You do not show the other parts in your photos...another spring and an axle sleeve. You would also be better removing the freehub from the cassette. Specialized do not specify the brand of hub/freehub on the Levo Comp. It is a DT Swiss star ratchet design but on a 350...

On a Dt Swiss 350 hub the XD freehub is held on by the end cap. The cassette threads onto the freehub ( no cassette nut but the same shimano cassette nut tool is used to screw the one piece cassette onto the freehub). If the cassette together with freehub merely falls off when the wheel is...

Do all my own servicing etc. Only times I have been in a LBS in the last 5 years is to pick up a bike I have bought.

....or a harder route to the same end point!

It has always shared trail time with another bike. Currently I use my Whyte E160 RSX more often than the E180RS. Combining both bikes I reckon my annual mileage is a bout 1500 miles...........which is a bout as much as my other commitments allow.

For solid downtube battery installations ( which are vastly better than cutaway downtubes) I have had 3 different implementations on 3 bikes. My 2020 Whyte E180 had the battery to motor connection plug at the bottom of the battery. It consisted a solid ally connector holder bolted to the...

First thing to check is both ends of the Rosenberger plug. Looks for any dirt or foreign material and then the 2 spring loaded pins to ensure they are not stuck.

As always better to buy whatever brand from a lbs reasonably close to you. You could also check out the Whyte range. You don't specify the type of bike you want...trail, enduro, super enduro, or your budget. There are lots of bargain prices at the moment.....sadly that also means you are...

The most critical parts to protect are head neck and spine. So priority should be helmet , back protector and neck brace. After that, realise that no soft armour provides any real protection if it is not on a part of the body with strong bone structure......so for example rib protection will not...
