    Trek RIB Battery Alignment Procedure

    Well, mine started doing this but after 2500 miles. Cutting out; meaning screen goes dead; on choppy descents. Sometimes it also would just go from whatever mode I was in to off but the screen would stay on. Annoying as all get out. I did the adjustment (and nearly stripped one of the frame...

    Colorado eMTB scene?

    Yes so on trailforks it says they are allowed. I see no reason why not especially there as the "feeder" trail is double wide for easy passing and then the rest are DH specific for the most part. It's a perfect place for them. And I can tell you we have been there several times and never had a...

    eMTB Cassette / Cog Wear

    So I like the idea of going to 8/9/10 speed to get wider and hopefully longer lasting cogs. I don't need 11 or beyond speeds on the eBike and I doubt most of us do. Plus, 8 and 9 speed can be cheaper. Here is what I've found in my research for my Levo: The Praxis chainring should accommodate...

    eMTB Cassette / Cog Wear

    So I did do this. I went up to a 34 Praxis on both my bikes. I like it but I swear the higher (smaller two) rear cogs actually wear worse. I can't prove it and agree with your theory but IDK, the last two GX cassettes seemed to wear faster. My only theory is that the diameter of the 34 is bigger...

    eMTB Cassette / Cog Wear

    Okay, this is a good question. If we / I go 8,9 or 10 speed say in Shimano...will the Praxis chainring accommodate all of these chains? Good question on the hub too. My Levo has the boost spacing so I'm not sure. Are all those the same freehub body? I'll be doing some homework.

    eMTB Cassette / Cog Wear

    I do think you are onto something here and I do NOT need 11 speed at all on the ebike. Hmmm? Yes, 8,9 or 10 may be the way to go to get wider and beefier cogs and durability on the e's! Nice. I'll be looking into this!

    eMTB Cassette / Cog Wear

    Hi all, So after 4000 miles of eBiking on two bikes (Levo and Kenevo) I have found that by far, one of my biggest issues is "premature" cog / cassette wear. I think the additional torque of the motor just wears them out much faster than they would with leg strength alone. I never had this...

    Levo Gen 3 Rockin' the Mullet? Read This.

    Good info. I did not know that the 2022 are 27" rear specific. For me it would be okay because I really love the setup but it was nice I suppose to have the versatility of all wheel sizes.

    Levo Gen 3 Rockin' the Mullet? Read This.

    That's what I'm saying. It's on you to decide to follow the rules because they make sense and you respect the given authority; or not and / or incur the other possible consequences like voiding your warranty, getting crap from other riders as you pass them uphill at ridiculous speeds, or yes...

    Levo Gen 3 Rockin' the Mullet? Read This.

    Well at the risk of a political or social debate I'll simply say that the policy making strategy you reference above generally and en masse leads to the "nanny" state mentality and socialism ultimately. The idea we must have a policy about everything and force companies to comply for the "sake...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo Comp - Motor Failure

    Thank you! I actually did not know it didn't apply to 2021's. And yes just the motor for the 4 years. Great to hear Spec will cut a deal on parts if it's out of warranty and I have heard that. Some other things I don't know: Someone asked me is if this new motor also has 4 years on it. I...

    Levo Gen 3 Rockin' the Mullet? Read This.

    Nice to keep up on. Thanks for the info! So yes, having the Spec dealers able to do this is a weakness perhaps (when I was 18 and working at an LBS would I have messed with this if I had access...yes likely so) but it's more strict and at least puts some accountability and control into place...

    Levo Gen 3 Rockin' the Mullet? Read This.

    Just a PSA on this and a place to document the effect of wheel circumference changes in the system and in actuality. You can find this scattered around the internet but NOT in one place and broken down and specific to our bikes. So yes, we all know Spec / Mission Control has locked the ability...

    Kenevo Gen1 Kenevo Motor Firmware Version

    Hey all, Long shot here but I have a 2018 Kenevo that actually got a new motor. I can see it's a newer "Levo" motor because that's what it says in MC. Anyway, it is showing a firmware version of 7.1.1 which, according to Spec is now an "outdated / bad" firmware version. It says I can update the...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo Comp - Motor Failure

    Just an update. Got the new motor! Reads 0.95mi! $25 warranty processing fee by LBS. Specialized stands behind these again! Very impressed. Very happy. I have the latest motor firmware 7.4.2 which is supposed to help with belt life by eliminating torque spikes and smoothing power. I also...

    Other Turbo Levo randomly with no power assistance

    I don't think we really know yet what they are capable of (and I don't know if Spec does either yet.) They are sort of works in progress as I see them. If I go off what I see on the forums and almost exactly what I have also experienced I'm seeing 2500 miles as an average for these motors in an...

    Other +10.000 km

    Wow. I'm on board with wanting know HOW you rode this thing to get that kind of mileage out of the original motor!? I'm seeing most go before 3000 miles; typically the belt, sometimes the sprag bearing. I think I'm in the middle as far as how hard it ride and I do like a good turbo run now and...
