@All Mountain Coaching Hi, nice build. I'm on the same boat by getting the base model and upgrade it. But i have to wait for a bike that i can buy . A question to the dropper: Do you know if i need additional parts like clamps for the internal routing (maybe spec does not install things on the base model...)

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Is this build finshed now?

No mate. Ran out of funds. I expected the intense frame to have sold way before now.

No parts needed. It's a real pita though, the spesh mechanic said, using linked spokes and the like to get it routed. He also said he wouldn't like to do a hydraulic one.

Bugger. Sorry to hear that. What's still to do?

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Probably the most important bits....fork/shock.

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Plans afoot... Just need to sell a body organ or enough seed to populate China.

 

[Ginge]

Does anyone know whether the HT AE03 light blue pedals match the "nice blue" of the Levo?

Pic would be great! ;-)

How do you like the nice blue?

Im thinking of getting that colour, ive not seen it in the flesh though????

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

New parts arriving this week. Exciting!

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Yass!

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

These went on today. The graphics look a bit garish against the blue, so I'll be taking them off this weekend. Dunno whether to go nekkid, stealth or colour-matched?!

 

[R120]

I think take em off on yours, or go for the blue graphics kit. Mount them up with the stickers on and see what it look like first though.

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

These are the stealth ones...

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

If I go custom, you can choose 2 colours, so I'd probably go with above, then change the fox to match the nice blue.

Out of interest... How do you get the RGB or # number for the nice blue top colour match??

 

[Kangr]

If you want complete custom colours then merge decals can put together anything you want. i saw some the other day with acid florescent tie die pattern

 

[Kangr]

I vote for the black

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Here she is with the standard graphics.

Now you won’t like this but is need a kashima shock to match....

Don't say that, I've only one kidney left

 

[mark.ai]

I'd probably go with the stealth black ones too as you have a good balance with the current decals - but I'm sure black & light blue would look good as well!

 

[Mcharza]

I vote for the black

Me too, it should look dope

 

[Xeretic]

i ordered a Expert Levo 19 and want to Change the rear shock to a Fox Flaot X2. DOes somebody know what Kind of bushings i need?

I also have question on the shock replacement to FOX, any plug and play solutions to still maintain the 150 mm travel?

So... I've done about 600 trail miles and 250 road miles so far.

The chain guide broke weeks ago, it was replaced without issue but I've not bothered putting it on.

There's some shifting issues now. A clicking on just one gear and last weekend it did a few ghost shifts, so I'll report back on that.

The cranks have lost their paint, but the paint elsewhere is fine. The invisiframe is doing it's job.

The shock seems to lose air gradually over a period of a fortnight say. I don't know why that is. I've still not bloody set the shockwiz up on it.

Most will know I've been having power cable issues. Spesh are looking into that. It turns on/off on its own, the button doesn't always work and have been using the charge port.

Apart from those minor issues the bike is bloody brilliant. I use it daily and can't wait to get to the trails. It beats me up every time I ride it hard, like a full body workout.

I just love it.

Getting very positive comments out and about about it. I let pretty much anyone have a go on it who I meet and they've been impressed.

I won't be doing any more mods to it now, maybe ever. Just maintenance and seasonal tyre swaps.

I am curious how the aluminum crank holds up. Mine came stock with a steel one and I imagine the crank will not last long because of all the torque with the motor

 

[etoni]

I am ready for long ride..

How much did you pay for the 700Wh version?
