    Levo SL Gen 1 AXS Electronic Shifting on Levo SL or Any EMTB Really

    I did a nice solid 3 hour ride today with all of this in mind and I had my analogue bike along with my Levo SL as I was riding with a friend. We traded bikes several times so I got a very good back to back comparison. I tested it out and it is definitely the over-run fucking with my muscle...

    Electronic Shift Systems and E-Bike Drivetrain Longevity

    Nice, I am actually gonna try this today to see if it works on the SL motor. Good advice.

    Electronic Shift Systems and E-Bike Drivetrain Longevity

    Id encourage you to do the same. I have definitely been an asshole in some of my posts. However, many people have given me the time of day which has led to an actually civil and productive discussion, which you have essentially not contributed to whatsoever and have actively tried to derail in...

    Electronic Shift Systems and E-Bike Drivetrain Longevity

    Man my dude over here is trying very hard to have an argument online that I care nothing about. We call that a troll on most other forums. On a more productive note, it's 100% down to a different technique being necessary because of the over-run where the motor continually applies torque after...

    You didn't, and still don't, have anything to add to the discussion.

    Levo SL Gen 1 AXS Electronic Shifting on Levo SL or Any EMTB Really

    Honestly some extremely helpful comments here. Over-run or whatever you want to call it is definitely my issue. In summary, it seems most E-mtb motors continue to give torque for some set amount of time after you stop pedaling to make things feel smoother, and this means you have to wait some...

    Levo SL Gen 1 AXS Electronic Shifting on Levo SL or Any EMTB Really

    Exactly, seems like I need to work around that extra little bit of torque the motor continues giving when you let off the cranks and just wait slightly longer to shift than I would on a regular MTB. Solid discussion and thanks for being helpful. Glad to see there are people on this forum willing...

    Levo SL Gen 1 AXS Electronic Shifting on Levo SL or Any EMTB Really

    I'm honestly starting to think this is what is going on. Because it is only when I am on a hill that gets steeper. On a regular MTB you just pedal hard for a sec to gain enough extra speed so that you can shift and immediately let off the cranks so the shift is smooth and then reapply crank...

    Ya I'd be keeping my SRAM GX Eagle cassette and just swapping out the deraillur and shifters with the GX AXS upgrade kit. So it would be full SRAM.

    Electronic Shift Systems and E-Bike Drivetrain Longevity

    It's really only moments where I am on a hill, and that hills grade increases so I have to drop another gear. Normally on an standard MTB I would pedal hard for a second and then downshift while I let off torque on the cranks so that it shifts smooth. When I try that on my SL, when I let off on...

    Levo SL Gen 1 AXS Electronic Shifting on Levo SL or Any EMTB Really

    It shifts fine on flat, it's really only moments where I am on a hill, and that hills grade increases so I have to drop another gear. Normally I would pedal hard for a second and then downshift while I let off torque on the cranks so that it shifts smooth. When I try that on my SL, when I let...

    Levo SL Gen 1 AXS Electronic Shifting on Levo SL or Any EMTB Really

    Interesting and thanks for actually contributing to the discussion. So you are saying that in your experience the electronic systems aren't any easier on the drivetrain than a cable system?

    Electronic Shift Systems and E-Bike Drivetrain Longevity

    I'm ignoring the butthurt and socially deficient members of this forum in leu of possibly getting some actual advice. From a BikeRadar article: "Like the other AXS stablemates, the GX version benefits from a more forward design that increases chain wrap around the cassette. This should...

    Levo SL Gen 1 AXS Electronic Shifting on Levo SL or Any EMTB Really

    Cool thanks for another post adding nothing to the discussion. I have explained that I do not have this issue on a regular MTB. It is easy to reduce torque on a regular MTB to make shifting smooth, it is near impossible even on the lowest assist setting to not get a grinding shift if you are...

    Electronic Shift Systems and E-Bike Drivetrain Longevity

    I posted a similar thread in the Specialized forum but I think this is more of a general question as it can really apply to all EMTBs. I am competent at reducing the torque on my cranks when I downshift on hills on a regular MTB, but I have found it essentially impossible to downshift on a hill...

    Levo SL Gen 1 AXS Electronic Shifting on Levo SL or Any EMTB Really

    My dude I have been riding a long time, I think I made it pretty clear that even if I heavily reduce my torque on the cranks, the assist is still putting a massive amount of strain on the drive train. This isn't an issue of having the skill to reduce the torque on the drivetrain when shifting, I...

    Levo SL Gen 1 AXS Electronic Shifting on Levo SL or Any EMTB Really

    All, I just bought a 2021 Levo SL Comp Carbon and have taken it for a few rides. I've noticed that it is extremely difficult to downshift when going uphill (ya ya downshift before you hit the hill but what about when the hill changes grades mid climb?) without putting a lot of strain on the...
