Thanks for the replies guys. I guess mine is pretty much inline with AlumiPro (assuming he had to trim more inboard as well) - it comes out of the box at setting 7, and I have it trimmed all the way down to 1, so 6 index points instead of 5. 0.2mm sounds like a reasonable tolerance between...

For anyone who's installed Transmission on their Levo, where do you have Micro Adjust? I've triple checked that I installed everything according to procedure, in the correct order, and I've had to move Micro Adjust to 1 (minimum inboard position). Any more than that has the chain wanting to...

Mastermind does not have GPS, so you'll need your phone, although GPS accuracy is significantly better from a dedicated Garmin/Wahoo. For phone users though, it's better to record through the Mission Control app, rather than Strava. That way, you get power/cadence data as well.

I'm 5'6" and have the S3 KSL, and before this, I had an S2 Enduro. The bars just felt a bit too in my lap, and the front wheel felt a bit too close underneath me - The bike is really meant to be ridden hard over the front, but having the bars and front wheel too close makes you have to shift...

I did use their calculator, which put me on the spring rates I mentioned above, but I'm right on the border, as the recommended spring rate changes, if I alter my body weight by just a couple pounds. I've also tried a 50# spring on my 160mm Levo, which feels good, but only when totally charging...

Temperature variance (PV = nRT) is one of my biggest reasons for loving coil - it doesn't vary. That's also one of the reasons why I always like having both ends matched as coil/coil or air/air. With full air, at least the stiffness of both ends increases or decreases by the same percentage...

Agree with ebike rider - Sounds counterintuitive, but it should feel better with more air pressure, due to the reasons he mentioned. It's more supple off the top than in the middle. Before I swapped out for the Smashpot, the stock air spring in my 38 was still pretty good. I weigh 150 lbs and...

They do recommend Fox Gold:

I felt the same thing when I put my E-Storia on. I had both ends feeling balanced, as far as spring rate and damping goes, but the 38 just felt comparably bad, since the rear end felt so good. I installed a Smashpot, which brought both ends much closer inline with each other. I think this will...

Thanks! Technically, it's a Pro, although I've swapped out everything except for the brakes, wheels, and fork (but I've added a Smashpot to the fork).

I own both the current gen Levo and Kenevo SL, and I can say with absolutely certainty that the Levo, regardless of the extra weight, is more agile side to side than the Kenevo SL (when comparing both bikes in the middle/high setting). I feel like the geo and stiffer suspension setup have far...

Yup, this is how I’ve always done it for coil shocks. I’m not even really doing a specific number of turns from first contact, but rather, I’m turning the collar until I just barely start to feel the resistance ramp up, due to the spring starting to compress. In my case with this particular...

Hmm maybe the sound isn't translated properly through video, but I'd personally call that more of a dull light bump, rather than a knock/clunk. I was expecting something more like the sound of tapping a quarter on carbon. That being said, mine doesn't make that sound: EXT E-Storia Sound I only...

Some clips on the Levo from today:

I have a Tubolito, 2 CO2’s, Wolf Tooth Pack Pliers with 2 quick links, and a Wolf Tooth chain + tire plug tool all stashed in the small space underneath the rock guard. I have them all individually wrapped in cellophane to keep them dry.

"Geometry doesn't change" can only mean one possible thing - Whenever anyone talks about geometry, it's always a completely unsagged, static bike, as it doesn't change. You can't reference dynamic sag/geometry, because it's always going to be different for everyone, depending on their...

I made a power calculator in Excel to play with different settings, since I have both the Levo and KSL. The closest Levo power settings to match the stock KSL settings (power only, not accounting for weight) would be 15/15, 25/25/, and 45/45:

I weigh 150 lbs. For reference, I'm running my 38 at 100psi with 3 volume spacers, and I was running my X2 on the stock linkage at 230 psi and no volume spacers. With the 210x55 Cascade link and EXT E-Storia, I'm running a Sprindex (430-500) set at 480 lb/in, which feels balanced with my fork...

I just set mine by preferred feel and ended up at 15.5mm. As always, sag is just a starting point. You should always run what feels best to you, not what the sag number says.
