Hey man, thanks for posting the pic. The clamps do look pretty similar. My current brake setup (Code R's) has the lever approx 90mm from the end of the grip. Do you think that brake position would be achievable?
For those here that have changed/upgraded their brakes - has anyone had any issues running the Levo (I have a '19 Expert) handlebar remote between the brake lever clamp and the grip?
I'm looking at a set of XT M8020's, but the clamp position doesn't look like it would allow for enough space to...
Cheers OP.
I'm looking at picking up a set of these brakes, and have a few questions to check compatibility with my cockpit setup:
- Do you have a Specialized dropper post, and if so what was the mounting like between the brake, Levo remote controller, and dropper remote?
- Do you run a SRAM...
Interesting, as this situation (uphill in low gear/high cadence) is when my 19' Expert makes a fairly loud noise. Enough to make me self-conscious about it anyway. Higher gearing/torque is much quieter.
Following this thread as I have been meaning to take it back to the shop for an assessment...
I have a set of Specialized Demo Pro pants and they are amazing, albeit a bit more expensive than what you indicated you would spend. However, what they offer is a great cut/shape for pedaling, lightweight stretchy and breathable material that is super comfortable and won't hold you back...
The main ideas behind a more minimal saddle are that they have a better shape/geometry for pedaling, and less weight (not that we probably care too much about weight for EMTB's). McInner1 is correct that this relies on placing weight correctly on your sit bones - if you want to go that route I...
Well, they bend you over and they get this big probe out and... Haha nah it’s not a big deal really. You sit on a gel pad which makes an indentation of where your sit bones are. Then they measure the distance between the indentations. Don’t worry, it’s fairly non-invasive ?
I'm a big fan of Specialized saddles. I have had a Phenom Comp for the last 3 years and it has great shape and comfort in a reasonably slim profile, and is great for pedalling. If you're after a bit more padding, then you can't go past their Henge saddle which was super comfy when I tested it...
Most probably due to the fire risk from the battery. Same reason why you’re not allowed to fly with an emtb battery. They can be pretty explosive when they fail...
The Christchurch bike park went up in flames just after opening and was out of action for a year, so in their case I can...
Ok, so I emailed my local Specialized shop and they had a good response and potential solution.
They replied that Levo’s are fine to ride without the batteries in the frame, and that they see this often with the Turbo Levo in some bike parks that don't allow batteries. However, the wiring...
Hey man, thanks for the reply. The Levo is replacing my old (original-style) Enduro 29 which was more of an aggressive AM bike by today's geometry, and that bike ripped in the Queenstown and Christchurch bike parks. I've also demo'd the Levo on my local DH trails and it was great there, quite...
Hi all,
I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of my 2019 Turbo Levo Expert toward the end of the month. I'm wondering if the bike can be ridden without a battery, as there are several bike parks I would like to ride at that don't allow eMTB's (more specifically their batteries) on their uplift...
