I'm 2.5 years into Turbo Levo ownership and am interested in sharing and learning about Levo setup and maintenance.

My brother owns that bike and lives in the springs but unfortunately he is perversely opposed to doing his own maintenance. I have to top up his sealant or remind him that it’s time for such things. Sorry.

Welcome! I’m a ways north of you in Erie and I just sold my Levo to a nice lady in Golden a few days ago after owning it for 18 months, replaced it with an Amflow. I’ve taken the thing apart and put it back together multiple times tho if you have questions.
I love the Levo, it’s a great bike, and now that the springs is ebike friendly I have to imagine there’s a lot of fun to be had!

I've been trouble-shooting a "clunk" in the back of my Levo when I head down a rocky section. I've discovered the source of the "clunk" is the rear hub ratchet going through a process of a relaxed chain followed by a quick tensioning of the chain that slams the hub ratchet up against it's stop. The cause is a bit more challenging to figure out. I did shorten my chain so that the derailleur clutch is more effective and better maintains chain tension in this scenario. And I also found that my cassette was not as tight as it should have been which I believe amplified the "clunk" event though it wasn't truly the cause of it. Both of these changes helped but the clunk persists. Any ideas?
