@Jim-FL, based on your description, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to your dealer/LBS. Do you have any pics of the imperfections?

Good advice! I was noodling with a similar idea, so I might give it a try. Thanks!

Yes. You'll want the Specialzed Offset version from Hope — it takes into account an offset that shifts the cranks approximately 4mm to to align with your frame centerline. Regarding your chainring (and spider), they are mounted independent of the cranks, so there should be no issue with...

After a few cumbersome wipeouts, I realized I’m not as quick at unclipping and planting my foot as I once was. So, after 15 years of riding clipless, I decided to give platforms a go. So far, so good—though I'm still getting used to the little stabby pins.

That's a great looking bike, welcome!

@Leeky1 That is brilliant!

For commuting, I fabricated a STIX (Specialized) Marker Light mount that adapts to the GoPro receiver on my Quad Lock mount.

FYI, as it happens, I have that bolt sitting on my desk. There’s more to it than meets the eye since it has been fabricated to accommodate a rubber seal.

The Levo "bottom bracket" is essentially an integral part of the motor. I would check to see if the crunchy feeling could be due to anything else, such as a loose crank arm or loose chain ring spider. If not, it's likely your motor needs servicing. I would seek out a local Specialized...

A SWAT tool, it’s remarkably convenient. I use it way more than expected – mostly to swap wheels, Roadie vs. MTB – but also for fine tuning as it’s a new bike and I’m still getting everything dialed just so (bar rotation, brake & shifter positions, etc.)

Turns out Hope makes a bronze seat post clamp (not quite gold, not quite orange) that fits in pretty well. As mentioned, I reverted to the (black) OEM dropper lever - which having used both, I think is notably better than the Wolf Tooth lever. And I installed a black SWAT tool and spacer set...

Welcome! You have 35mm bars (that's the diameter of the bar tube at and around the stem attachment area). It's likely that your existing mount is made for 31.8mm bars. Yes, the 35mm mount you referenced will work. However, you may still run into clearance issues with your stem or your stem...

@zoros I'm riding a '23 Specialized Turbo Levo Alloy.

@zoros My situation is somewhat similar. I ride single-track on the weekends and asphalt during the week. My approach was to outfit a complete second set of wheels to allow for an effortless swap. More to your question, though, I went with Maxxis Hookworms. Although I’m not a fan of Maxxis...

Christ-on-Sale, your bike spec is top-notch (and looks equally amazing)! When I was in the market (six months ago), I would have bought this based on the pictures and price alone (although I'm in the states so that may have proven unworkable). Nevertheless, I’m surprised someone hasn't put a...
