I'm wondering if I could convert my wife's EXe to a full 27.5. She's short enough that she can't quite clear the standover on her size Small. I think a mullet would improve things for her, but a full 27.5 would be ideal. I know the BB drop would be a concern - but is this idea terrible for...
The Levo SL is my first emtb. I wanted the closest thing to an acoustic bike that could give me some extra power to do the following things: go further on time constrained rides, make long rides much possible for me, and allow easy rides when my body needs a rest but I still want to get out...
I'm curious to hear from people who have ridden the 2023 Levo SL in both mullet and full 29er modes. What have you found? What do you like best? What's your height and bike size?
Thanks!
Adam
Yep, I assumed that - but I've seen numerous posts mention the 29er setup can be better for taller riders. If that is true, in what way is this accomplished?
I'm curious about running my new SL as a 29er. I think I need to stretch out my bike a little bit since I have more lower back pressure on my S4 than I do on my L Epic Evo. I felt like I was between the S4 and S5 and opted for the smaller bike and knew there was some risk that I'd have to...
Out of curiosity, what should I expect to pay for a complete 29" rear wheel setup for the new SL? I don't have any need to upgrade the spec from the comps 27.5 rear but something reasonable, no corner cutting but not blingy either.
I've been wading through hundreds of pages of Blevo posts and feel like I still haven't reached a point where I am ready to decide what hardware to buy for a solid system. I'm sure I'm not alone. Given this, I'm wondering if you'd be willing to share your Blevo setup using the following...
I noticed Spesh claims the motor is much quieter in Eco and Trail, but they don't mention Turbo - let us know what you find in high cadence turbo.
People also claim the 1.1 motors got louder as they aged; how true is this? It might make it tough to judge it in the moment.
Understood there isn't much to learn, but as someone new to emtb's and about to make my first purchase, I enjoy hearing how people parse the data we have and compare the options. At least it is something to do until the formal introduction.
Seems like whenever we get a fresh drop of these images, we get a long stall in the discussion. Zimmerframe, I appreciate your effort and humor but this does feel a bit counterproductive.
Thanks, Desert_Turtle!
You've been a super consistent voice in this thread, and I for one appreciate it. You've been saying May 5th for quite a damn while! Thanks for your help.
I can't wait to hear how you like it! Please report back for us.
I've heard the current gen (as of today) Levo...
I might be overthinking this, so am looking for a sanity check.
Everything about the Alloy Comp seems right for how I ride and what I want. I like the more durable frame material, the lower price, and the great sage green color. BUT, I keep thinking that the lack of the mastermind TCU will be...
I'd be curious to hear from anyone with the all black 2023 Turbo Levo Comp Carbon in what Spesh calls "Satin Black / Light Silver / Gloss Black". How is your paint holding up? Does it suffer from the "raw" look that these frames sometimes are shipped with. Would you buy the same color again...
