Levo SL Gen 1 AXS Electronic Shifting on Levo SL or Any EMTB Really

[Tobers]

I just changed to GX AXS on my SL. Two rides in, first impressions are that the shifting is just excellent. Smooth and instant. No vagueness. It’s crisp and responsive compared to cable shifting.

I find the shift switch is a bit close to the grip for comfort so I’ll see about adjusting that a bit.

It was very easy to fit - my LBS did it for me .

So far so good….

My understanding is that chain wear depends on:

• How much torque you put through the chain
• Do you ride when the chain is gritty
• Do you keep the chain lubricated
• Probably some other factors

I think it's nearly impossible for us to compare chain wear because we are different weights, have different riding styles, ride in different environments, and have different bike maintenance habits. My chain life will probably not predict your chain life.

That said, because most of us will put more torque through the chain on an ebike than we would on an analog bike, we should expect to get fewer miles out of the ebike chain than the analog chain.

I agree with everything you said.
