    Levo Gen 2 Are you running a FOX X2 on a Levo? then read this

    Another quality post... Again, the higher forces from the levo (and other specialized frames) has been well discussed and documented. Choose your shock wisely and ride on!

    Levo Gen 2 Are you running a FOX X2 on a Levo? then read this

    Unfortunately, that bracing forces the shock to be slightly offset. Take a look at the yoke on the levo: it's asymmetrical. My other bikes have a symmetrical yoke that puts the shock centered in the frame. My first take is that it shouldn't matter, but evidently there are excessive side loads...

    TFTuned speaks the truth. There has been a lot of documentation and discussions on the side loading the levo and kenevo imparts on shocks. Just take a look at all of the coil shocks that have failed. Now you have the data point and know what to (potentially) expect the next time you service...

    Good post... Going before a judge is solid advice

    Maybe? Or maybe it was run through harsher conditions? Maybe a seal was bad? Lots of what ifs, but that is the entire purpose of service intervals: to ensure all is in working condition and to replace what is needed.

    Seems pretty normal to me, not sure what the problem is....

    Levo Gen 2 Levo snapped shock bolt

    The shock bolt, sorry--threaded pin, on my Levo Comp had loosened itself. Luckily I caught it before it broke! Checking the pivot bolts will now be routine, and frequent, maintenance.

    Levo Gen 2 2021 Levo Comp Purchased...now what?

    Enjoy the bike! I too recently picked up a comp. I built a new wheelset day 1, as I'm heavy at 220lbs and the trails by me are very rocky. No doubt, the wheels on my bike take a beating and I didn't have much faith in the stock wheels. I went with DT Swiss EX511 rims, DT swiss competition...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Got a Turbo Levo SL frame only today, a few questions for knowledgeable bike techs

    Thanks! You were definitely lucky to find one. I ended up with a comp, which saved me from pulling parts from my caveman pedal bike--haha!

    Levo SL Gen 1 Got a Turbo Levo SL frame only today, a few questions for knowledgeable bike techs

    Before Feb 1, the s-works turbo levo frame was $6k and sl was $6500. The prices jumped to what you see now. I was trying really hard to find a s-works frame but had no luck. FIT damper works well, but trust me on this: grip 2 is soooo good. The small bump compliance between the two is...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Got a Turbo Levo SL frame only today, a few questions for knowledgeable bike techs

    The headset comes with the frame and should already be installed. The cranks also come with the frame and should be installed. If not, it should just be an Allen wrench for the install. For the headset crown race, specialized/fsa uses a split race--which I had not seen before. The good news...

    Levo Gen 2 Glad I bought last week!

    The recent price hike made it easier for me to justify upgrades (at least in my own head). Fox 38 fork went on a few days ago, and I'll definitely say it lives up to the hype. If you're on the fence for this fork, don't think twice and pull the trigger.

    Levo Gen 2 Glad I bought last week!

    Thank you! Admittedly, I was very reluctant to join the ebike club. However, the local trails here have a lot of climbs. My first ride was roughly 15 miles with 4k feet of climbing. I came home with 40% battery left. This thing is addicting. That ride was not possible after work, but now...

    Levo Gen 2 Glad I bought last week!

    Hi all! Picked up a turbo levo comp last week. Only have two rides, and I regret not getting one sooner. That said, really glad I pulled the trigger last week. Have you noticed the huge price increases?!? Levo Comp increased by $1,200!!!
