hey all long time no see hope you're doing good.
my '19 Levo has been going well until the motor disintegrated a few weeks ago. well out of warranty now obvs and shop I bought out from is no longer a Spesh dealer.

hey all, long time no post hope this finds you all well.
bit of help please
bike: '19 Turbo Levo Carbon Comp
problem: rear wheel 'wobbles' on the axle a little, axle is done up, I presume this is worn or failed bearings?
question: can I DIY a fix if so what parts tools do I need please?

Hi thanks for checking in.
I'm back riding, yeah. I have a permanent limp, especially when tired etc, and the knee is quite vulnerable but I can live with it. I'm mid 50s so have plenty of good decades of fun behind me, would be much worse for a young'un.
I bought a 2nd hand Offering, for one...
enjoy your gen 3s folks.
my gen 2 has 2 years + warranty so I'll stick with it.
one gen 3 feature I don't like is the screen. simplicity of display (which I turn to stealth mode) is one reason I bought the Levo over competitors at the time. less is more.
no. it will make small differences to feel but you'll soon get used to it and comfort matters.
the original bars on my Levo were way too low (I have long legs, so run a high saddle, and a short body), I now have 40mm risers.
I've an FF and a lung bike - great combo IMO. Out with my mates on group rides I take (took!) the lunger.
Solo rides, say 60-90 mins, I take the FF and have at it, don't hold the horses. It's also the right bike for riding with others on FF. We zip about ticking the boxes. And come back...
this is a 6 month injury minimum. it's possible I may not get full utility back though I think I'll get enough. it's OK, I knew this from the early days I'm at peace with it.
if only the Offering had a SWAT box!
anyway it'll be some time before I decide so plenty of water to go under the...
thanks mate, yeah I'm through the worst and nipping about on crutches now. a way to go before I'm walking/riding tho.
cool new ride.
ooh the new 2021 Stumpy EVO!! Offering's still in the frame tho.
Push your heels down, flex at the knees - the best suspension there is.
Also other shoe brands are less sticky, I have Bontrager. You get 30 day no quibble try out on them.
I rode clipless > 20 years, switched to flats when I got my Levo and have stuck with it. I don't believe in the supposed...
Personally I wouldn't bother, find a set up good enough for most of your riding and stick with it. Most people I know - lots of frequent year round riders - do this.
As other have alluded it can be a faff setting up for different rotors, cassettes etc.
For less frequent, eg seasonal, changes...
