Thanks, actually found a similar one already and have ordered it, plus the dropper. Will report back on the fitment once it arrives

I bought a length of pipe with a 30mm outside diameter and it fits easily down to 270mm into the seat tube without touching the linkage bolts. It would fit even further but I still have the dropper cable fitted, until I commit and buy the AXS Reverb. I’ve measured the saddle height using the...

I have a large 2019 Carbon Levo and am thinking of buying a 30.9mm AXS Reverb and slamming with a 34.9mm shim to ensure it gets past the linkage bolts. Anyone done this and confirm it’s a bad idea? ?

Again, it depends how you ride. I too ride with mechanical empathy and am hyper conscious of not changing under load but it’s impossible to do so ALL of the time unless all you’re doing is pottering around fireroads. Even with carefully timed shifts, ebikes and analogue bikes do shift...

Not tried Shimano yet so that may well be the case. Going to give it a try though just to scratch the itch. A friend of mine recently bought an eBike with SLX and even that seems to shift better than GX Eagle on an eBike.

Nah, they all clunk. Perhaps it depends on your miles, individual tolerance or the type of riding you do, and it’s true I don’t yet know that Shimano is any better, but the extra torque makes Eagle shift like a tractor on an eBike.

I’ve upgraded my 2019 Levo to full GX Eagle as I felt the factory 11 speed SRAM groupset was just unbearably clunky, even being really careful with shifting under load it still made a hell of a racket. However, GX Eagle is just as bad, no better in fact. I’ve always been an SRAM fanboy, I have...

So I bought the Kappa 150mm cranks and been running them for a while. Initially I thought they were great, and for pedal strike avoidance they really are, but I really notice the higher cadence required for the same level of drive. It feels like my gearing has radically changed so I’m likely...

A friend of mine snapped the inner cable for his Merida eOne Sixty dropper remote. Does anyone know how to ‘free’ the outer cable housing so I can properly size and fit the new inner? I’ve tried firmly moving the housing from the head tube end and it feels locked like it’s cable tied somewhere...

Sorry mate, only just saw this, have now ordered the set direct.

Thanks for the feedback folks, think I’ll return the cranks to Merlin and buy the Kappas. Are the Levo specific ones ok for the 2019 model?

Currently sat nursing a broken big toe after hitting a tree stump, 4-6 weeks off the bike. Just bought the 152mm cranks at Merlin (Robs original link) for my 2019 Levo. I appreciate the Q factor is out but not expecting to notice much difference except fewer pedal strikes and fewer broken toes!

EDIT - For the benefit of others, and thanks to @KennyB 's help, my spoke measurement is 283mm for the rear wheel on a 2019 Comp Carbon.

Thats really helpful, thank you for the reply!

Broken a spoke on my 2019 Levo Comp Carbon with the original Roval Traverse 29er wheels. Original spec sheet says the spoke is a “DT SWISS Industry” but I’ve searched online and can’t find any mention of these. Anyone know an equivalent spoke and nipple that will drop in?

It needs fairly regular greasing depending on the conditions you ride in. I don't tend to use this bike in the mud as in the winter I'm more likely to be on my Levo.

Just sharing my Yeti SB150 AXS XX1 build. It’s an absolute beast but climbs as well as a hardtail.

So converted the Shimano driver to XD on a Specialized freehub (Formula XD S192100006) on my 2019 Levo Comp Carbon successfully and now running a 10-50T GX Eagle cassette (did have a Shimano 11-50 NX Eagle cassette). Everything is working and didn’t need to touch the indexing which suggests the...

Which washer is that?

I have a four piece kit for sale including 0.8in3, 0.6in3, 0.4in3 and 0.2in3 spacers for the Fox DPS shock. Looking for £12 delivered ??
