I honestly don’t feel the weight of my 2020 Levo Expert at all when I’m riding it. Up, flat, or down. Going up it feels like my old mtb but I feel 30 years younger with super legs. Going down it just feels great, solid and planted. On flats, it’s like I’m gliding along. Ever grinning in...
After a lot of research, I went with this: RockShox High-Pressure Bicycle Shock Pump, 300 PSI Max. I think it works great. I agree with the folks who comment about digital - accurate, easy to read.
I also believe it’s a fallacy that you loose air when you remove the pump on just about any...
Or perhaps slightly easier (and the most useful information I’ve read on another site).
Put an allen wrench in one of the Allen bolt heads on the sprocket. The crank stops against the allen wrench when you turn the crank backwards and turns the sprocket.
Thanks @kafkastan, made my day!! Truly glad “The Cogg Method” works so well for you.
I also store my Levo on the stand with the cross bar in my garage. Keeps it off the floor and out of the way. And a nice, clean, new Levo looks like a work of art on display hanging from the stand...
Great video, with actual numbers to support the conclusions. Thanks for the link. This can help a lot of people feel comfortable with a topic that most information out there is urban legend.
Here are a few pics on the stand. Not on the rack, but the position of the Thule bar is the same whether on the stand or the rack.
Yes, the dropper is fully extended, and as you can see from the close up pic, the hardware of the dropper sits perfectly on the Thule bar end.
I also included a...
I’ve been using the top tube adapter for my Levo since I got it in early September. The one I have is a Thule and it’s rated at 50 lb, so just enough, though I’m sure there’s some buffer in the rating. It’s quite good quality, and I like it better than the Yakima one I’ve been using on my...
Haha! What’s funny is I almost said “I know, I’m a genius” at the end of the post, but thought it was too much :-)
It did take me a while to think of using the cross bar. I got the stand for Christmas, but despite using the cross bar every time I put the Levo on my bike rack, I kept thinking...
As others have said, definitely no clamping on the carbon frame.
I use a top tube adapter to hold my bike on the bike stand. In addition to balancing the load front and back, it also makes it easier to lift and clamp onto the stand. You can lift it onto the opened clamp in its horizontal...
I must ride so much slower than all you guys. Until I got my 2020 Levo Expert, I had a 20 year old FSR Expert with V-Brakes that I was still quite content with. And I’m more than happy with the stopping power, modulation, etc. with the stock brakes on the new Levo.
Guess I need to start...
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night (ride)!
Got a Park Tool repair stand for Christmas. Woo Hoo. Now, how to get a 48 lb Levo lifted onto it by myself, hmmmm.
Hi All. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
@CatButt Sorry to hear about the issue on your trip. But it does say something that you would still likely purchase a 1Up again. As far as the bouncing forwards and backwards, do you mean in the direction of travel of the vehicle...
OK beer drinkers, now that I have your attention :-) But really, there is free beer involved.
My friend and I are both looking to buy new bike racks to go with our new Levos that we got recently. I did some preliminary research and narrowed it down to the Thule T2 Pro XT, Thule EasyFold XT...
?
I’m not kidding, he literally went straight to the bottle cage with his bottle. I didn’t have one on my old bike so he’s never seen one before. He also loves riding over (and into) curbs, rocks, roots, whatever he can, on his 2 wheel balance bike. A born mountain biker!
