This is the conclusion I'm really starting to come to, although I would have expected a Specialized to have brakes capable of at least getting down 300 feet hills, let alone real mountains!
I couldn't get hold of a 200mm disc, as everywhere was, and still is sold out. As I needed to re-shim the...
You don't need to measure the disc, just have to look at it, it's absolutely knackered! I've used genuine Sram organic pads, and various pattern pads, nothing lasts.
I'm still on the original Specialized tyres, which have barely worn.
This is a conclusion I have explored- The 2 pot uses very small pads compared to the 4 pot at the front, perhaps I need to upgrade to a 4 pot at the rear? My mate's Kenevo has 4 pots front and rear, and he's not suffering severe brake wear.
Yes I do use a lot of rear brake on the trails, especially when very steep, and slippery, but this has never been a problem with my other MTB's. Nothing is dragging, it's the steep downhills that's causing the severe wear.
Is anyone suffering excessive wear in their rear pads and discs?
My bike has a Sram Level T, 2 pot rear calliper on 200mm Sram discs, and in 1300 miles has gone through 6 sets of pads and a disc. The front is the same disc with a 4 pot calliper, and is about half worn on the original set of...
I realize that's most likely the eventual outcome, but my local shop isn't local! I really don't want to spend a day travelling to the shop and waiting around to have my bike repaired, every few months when something starts to go wrong!
This thread is more of a fact finding exercise to find out...
One recent observation, is the rattle doesn't happen from cold, it kicks in at about 35 degrees motor temperature, ie after a good hill climb. If the motor is allowed to cool, the rattle disappears
My 2020 Levo, Brose 2.1 with approx 1000 miles has developed a rattle when in turbo mode. It runs nice and smoothly, no slip on the sprag clutches, but when I turbo it, there is a rattling sound. It doesn't sound like a clutch or bearing, as it's a random rattle and has no rhythmic properties...

Techie question here - Does anyone know the exact way the power output is managed on the Brose 2.1?
As I understand it, the nominal 250W output, is what the motor can produce continuously, until the battery runs out, but what I'm interested in is the peak power, which would appear to be around...
