Levo Gen 2 e thirteen 9-42t cassette

[Boracho Muchacho]

Has anyone ever used one of these? I bought the xcx 9-42 for my 2020 carbon levo but I think I will end up returning it because the installation is proving impossible...

I'm using an ethirteen TRS cassette 9-46 for XD. It's a little tricky to install as the clearances are quite tight. Also derailleur adjustment is more finicky to get pedaling silent, but I'm quite happy with it

How did you get the cassette on ? I feel like if I use any more force i will break something...

I did have to use quite a bit of force to get the big ring all the way down to seat on the XD driver. Once it was fully seated then the rest of the install was a breeze

I got one on my first e bike and was shocked at how quickly it wore. I was able to replace one chain on it before it was completely worn out, then I just left the same stretched chain on and rode it awhile to make me feel like I got my money's worth out of it. I also never was able to get into the 9 consistently, and that was the whole reason I got it. Using an aluminum cassette on an e bike makes no sense in my experience but to each their own.

Thanks for the input, I returned it today.
