About my delivery and a tale of the specialized direct to consumer experience; part good, part horrible

I have an LBS three blocks from my house and cancelled my Levo order after 3 months.
I ordered my levo before Christmas ‘21 and the delivery got pushed every month until told me middle of march. A week later I asked again and they said April/may. I called another LBS and they said ‘well we...
Testimonials plz, looking for mileage optimized tan wall tires. The trails i ride locally i can pretty much handle on my analog gravel bike running 38s.
The trails are more fun on mtb but just giving some context for the tire demands. I'm looking for an emtb tire that is optimized for mileage...
455mm vs 477mm Do you feel really stretched out on your 22 levo?
So i'm looking at numbers because i'm waiting for my bike. "uprightness" is an important dimension for me. My current bike has a reach of 458, the '21 levo has a reach on the large of 455mm. The 22 levo has a reach of 477 on...
Funny enough I just thought to look at the reach of my current analog bike and the reach on the s4 is actually even a little longer. So I guess in terms of reach I’ll be fine…on paper. Interestingly I saw that the levo is a little less slack. My Felt compulsion is 67 deg head angle as opposed...
I have a levo to be delivered in March, plenty of time to over analyze. I’m concerned with the brose motor.
i can fix a lot of things but don’t want to be waiting on or tearing into ebike motors. I just want to ride. Am I just seeing more“brose failed” threads than any because I’m in the...
I'm 6'2" and have a levo s4 on order. Have many other six footers been happy w/ an s4 or is the consensus that s5 is the way to go?
I know it supposedly has to do w/ riding style and what you like. just curious if there's any consensus.
UK? Too bad for us. If I’m using the specialized site correctly there are no black s4 alloy in the US and there are only 2 stores 500 and 1000 miles from me that have it in s5. Supply is wild.
That said I run the micro shift 11/46 on my analog bike and it suits me just fine. 250 mile bike packing trip last year right after installing and not a hitch.
Did you consider keeping your 12 speed so that you actually have a better chain line in the gears that you actually do use? If you go to 9 you’ll save a little weight but you’ll be cross chained more of the time.
