Hi @teutonic,
Does your rear rotor use centerlock? If so that is the main difficulty in getting the LSS to fit. The space that's normally reserved for the LSS is taken up by the centerlock nut. If you were able to switch to 6-bolt rotors I bet we could get the LSS to fit. You can PM me if you...
Hi @Rosemount, yes its important a high quality neodymium magnet is used (N42 strength or higher). Some cheap magnets on Amazon are often marked as Neodymium but actually aren't, or are of low strength. However, for the 2017 and 2018 Levo's, they have a different magnet / sensor location that is...
Hey @VeloMikey. Wow, 3,500 miles, that's some serious mileage! Currently I only have the sun gear as part of a set with the cover plate and its available here:

Hi @G P Smith, glad you are enjoying the LSS on your Levo! I don't currently have any versions of the LSS for any Trek bikes unfortunately. But its good to hear feedback on which bikes you all would like to see supported, so I'll keep the 2021 Trek Rail in mind for the future.
Hi @Dr_BoB_rD, I'm still trying to make sense of all the new 2021 Levo models. It seems some of them now come with Shimano centerlock hubs/brakes (i.e., the Levo comp is listed as having centerlock hubs) which wouldn't be compatible with the LSS. However, on some of the other models they still...
Really good feedback @RebornRider. You are only the second person I've heard from that's used it (the first was the person I worked with to develop it in the first place), so its very helpful to hear that it is a pain. There is just so little clearance between the rotor and frame its hard to...
Hi @Spagnol, the LSS on the Kenevo is a bit experimental, but you can measure the rear axle diameter to see if one of the LSS versions would fit. I have an FAQ with more info (and some pics) on how the axles look:

Hi @Gspot, the LSS DT 2.0 has a distance of 11mm from the edge of the axle to the center of the magnet, so its quite a bit closer to the axle. I'm not sure if that would be too far away to trigger the sensor. The other option is the 2017/2018 version of the LSS which has the magnet position a...
Hi Peltola, if you can get an N52 I would recommend it as the strength will be higher so a more reliable signal. But N42 should also work fine. Yes the size is 10x3mm.
I had been meaning to create a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) for the LSS for a while, and finally got it done. This should hopefully address the most common questions regarding the LSS, but I will try and add to it as new questions come up. You can read the FAQ here...
Hi @Martin DH, sorry for not responding earlier as I missed the notification of a new message. The best way I found to support all the rotor options out there is with my universal rotor adapter...
Hi @Adejager58. I don't have access to a 2020 Levo SL yet so I'm not sure if its compatible with the LSS. I'm in the process of trying to get some pictures of the clearance and sensor/magnet positions to see if it would work. If anyone happens to have tried it on a Levo SL please let me know how...
It's possible it may fit. I had someone buy it for their YT Decoy and it ended up fitting perfect without an issue. Your bike seems to use a different brake rotor so you'd need to use the universal adapter. Based on how the hub looks I'd go for the LSS DT 2.0 as the hub axle diameter looks close...
There's no workaround for that as far as I know, but if you use Blevo it does have a correction factor in there. Otherwise you can mentally just adjust speed and distance by ~1.5x.
Glad you are enjoying the LSS :). For the 2020 Levo Comp you'll want to get this one since it has a revised rear hub axle profile:

Hi @Nickdv. Sorry, I missed you earlier message. If you switch the rear brake rotor, the clip won't fit anymore (since it is specific to the original brake rotor design). So you'd need to use the universal rotor mount:

Yes, I'd like to but I don't have access to a Levo SL to take measurements. If anyone is willing to take pictures and measurements (preferably with calipers) please PM me.
The LSS version for the 2017/2018 is a different size than the 2019/2020 version due to the magnet being in a different location, so unfortunately the covers are not interchangeable.
