Levo Gen 3 AXS dropper and rerouting rear brake hose?

[Grundy]

Hi guys, I want to get an AXS dropper for my 2022 Levo alloy comp. I have a few questions:-

Is a 170mm axs dropper long enough for an S5 and 6ft 3 rider?

Has anyone rerouted the rear brake hose at the head tube so it enters on the right side,moto/UK style - front brake lever on the right and rear on the left. Sams Bikes on YT has, but no pics or vid of that part.
Regarding this, how easy is it to disconnect the nylon guides from the port covers? And should I remove the dropper cable guide?

Thanks in advance

You should be able to disconnect the hose at the lever and back it back into the frame. If you remove the TCU you can then redirect it to the other side.

The cable guide tubes are glued to the guide bases - might be diffuclt to switch

Yeah, this is my concern

just remove the guide tubes, its what I did. cut them at the entry/exit point. It was a faff, but it is doable.

Hi , I’m 6ft 1 with an s5 frame and a 170 axs dropper, there will be plenty of adjust meant for your height , and yes the hose can be moved to the other side , think there is only about 2 inches of post stuck out the frame

6’2” and S5 here. I use a 210mm one up dropper.

170mm would be too short for my liking.

I have done this and gave a description of what i did on another thread titled Levo gen 3 rear brake hose routing.
Hope it helps

I’m looking at doing the same thing on my Kenevo. What do you use to block up the holes? Also need to block up the holes if I go AXS eagle shift.

You can order a pack of plugs from specialized it comes with 3 different plugs I think , or my dealer just put some very small plugs in the original plastic cable routings on the frame and work great
