    Irritating clicking noise (worse under pedal load) on 2020 S-Works Levo - finally solved

    An outside possibility is that you've got a cracked (or completely severed) motor spline under one of the cranks. I had a pretty constant clicking noise from around the crank area on my 2018 S-Works that turned out to be a fracture in the motor spline that only became evident when I removed the...

    Irritating clicking noise (worse under pedal load) on 2020 S-Works Levo - finally solved

    Hi galaga187 - no, unfortunately that sounds far more frequent compared to what I was experiencing. Mine became worse after about 30 minutes of cycling (heat expansion in the motor area I guess) and it only became really audible when I put a lot of pressure on the pedals on an ascent. At that...

    38t chainring on turbo levo 2020

    The existing freehub accommodates both the 11 and 12 speed SRAM cassettes. Goes without saying that you’ll need a 12 speed shifter up front. I’m using the AXS 12 speed shifter and if I’m honest, it’s too easy to inadvertently knock the gear shifter when you pull up, particularly when you’re...

    38t chainring on turbo levo 2020

    Not sure about any offset... I’ve attached a photo of the chain ring showing what’s printed on it (you can also see the modified chain guide which accommodates the 38T ring). I also needed new chain ring bolts (6mm, not 10mm) because the original chain ring attaches directly onto the spider and...

    Sure...have a look at this site: Turbo Levo (up to) 38T Chain Guide Adaptor – Matter-Replicator It didn’t take long to turn up either.

    38t chainring on turbo levo 2020

    Hi TVDW, I’m not aware of any apparent torque or power problems. The ride feels pretty much the same as with the smaller chain ring, except that I don’t ever end up over-pedalling. I’m able to maintain my usual cadence but in a lower (larger) gear, so I’m not sure there’s too much impact on...

    38t chainring on turbo levo 2020

    I fitted a 38T chainring (SRAM Eagle) on my Levo. I also bought a modified chain guide from a company in the US that makes these on a 3D printer. To be honest, I wasn’t a fan of the 32T standard chainring because I spent 90% of the time in the two smallest gears on the rear cassette and wore...

    South Downs Way on an EMTB?!

    It was one of the ruts that caused it. His front wheel got caught in one, launching him over the handlebars (along with his heavy rucksack). Lucky for us I had a GPS route finder with me (phones weren't so smart back then). I gave the emergency service operator our coordinates and within about...

    Irritating clicking noise (worse under pedal load) on 2020 S-Works Levo - finally solved

    I upgraded my 2018 S-Works Levo for the 2020 model last August and things were going really well until recently when I started to experience a clicking sound. This noise seemed to be coming from around the motor area when putting initial pressure on the left crank. The clicking then started to...

    South Downs Way on an EMTB?!

    I attempted to ride the South Downs Way a few years back on a conventional MTB, starting out at Winchester train station, but only got as far as the bottom of Beacon Hill where my mate fell off on a nice downhill stretch and ended up being airlifted to Chichester hospital with a broken collar...

    clicking noise coming from crank area on my 2017 specialized turbo levo?

    I had a 2018 Turbo Levo S-Works and it too developed a really annoying click from somewhere around the motor area. It became really annoying because it was happening with virtually every turn of the crank. I tried all of the usual things from lubricating the seat rails to loosening off the motor...
