Post your modded Levo’s!

[All Mountain Coaching]

That looks nice ^^^

 

[deanphoto]

Made a few mods of late. Enve DH bars (run them on each of my bikes), Roval Traverse SL Carbon wheels with cushcore. Next up has to be the rear shock, I’m checking the coil options thread daily.

I love this thing, it’s just so much fun.

^^^ I keep alternating between the bike and that loamy dirt. I’ll take both. #muchfun

Waiting for someone to guinea pig the maxima. Sizeable weight saver and added power and modulation. Thought I remembered that they use shimano pads(not sure). Last day for their “Kickstarter” today. I want to try their top cap/stiffener for single crown forks. Noticeable flex when I had my lyric at 180mm(it all adds up I guess)

Ha ha, I couldn't resist, deanphoto. Beautiful brand new bike by the way.
I have the same wheels and this is what yours may look like after one year. Yes that is cow poop ( you should have seen the bike jerseys and my shins) just roughly scrubbed off with my finger nails after our run to the top of the mountain on ebikes yesterday on New Year's day, an annual custom that was a lot harder before electric assist. Will have to do a little more cleaning today. But main thing, notice all the rim scratches yikes from rocks hitting the rims. Thank God for furniture polish which mostly tends to hide them after cleaning.

Talking of decals I went a bit mad over Christmas, probably need to get out and ride more.

 

[BikingLovingMomma]

Are you asking it to me?
My rear mudguard is a Zefal FM20

Does the Zefal protect the motor on your 2019 bike?

Comp XL with a few mods/swaps - Deity Blacklabel 800 bars, Deity Copperhead 50mm stem, ODI Rogue grips, trusty SDG Formula MTR saddle. Custom fork decals from SLIK graphics (PMS 389c matches Hyper really well) View attachment 8736 View attachment 8734 View attachment 8735 .
Also put on clear protection tape from BK Stickers and then overlaid AMS Honeycomb in Black in places for even more protection, mostly from car racks! Running Cush Core in the tyres and now just need the 700wh battery to complete the set up.

I love the RockShox stickers. I am going to order a custom color set. Can you tell me which two colors you used? Were they your own custom colors or from one of their colors? Thanks!

Bike looks great ??. Did you use the XXL size AMS Kit?

- No the XXL only comes in clear, so I bought a std and XL in black

 

[Robser]

Hi everybody, does someone know the weight of the OEM fox 34 rhythm ebike 150mm? Perhaps Rob who has changed to the dt swiss f535?
Thanks a lot

Thanks. The XL covers the downturn OK then?

 

[davarello]

Yes, I just had to trim about 5mm off the width so it fitted between the Specialized decals

 

[davarello]

if anyone wants really discreet protection, the clear film from BKstickers is great and it comes with a 500x100 mm piece, that will cover a whole levo downtube

 

[nicklej]

Another mod for me in the form of some new tires , front maxxis minion dad and a maxxis high roller on the rear , both 2.8’s absolutely awesome grip first ride today on them Was cursing the price of them but after today I’m glad I did it

Hello mate. Love those decals on your rims, suspension and downtube! Where'd you get them from?

Hi sorry for the slow reply , my wheel and frame decals came from , sticker decal graphics , all one word online , my colour choice is glitter gold ,

 

[Hicksy 92]

Just a quick update on my tyre pressures been riding now for two or three weeks , and for my current conditions on all my local runs which are 20 mile loops across Cotswold brash and mud I’m find 13 psi both ends is spot on . Thanks to every who was telling me off for riding with lower pressure but if you read my first post it was my first ride , so it was trail and error , but if if came back very wet and slippery again around here I would definitely drop back to 10 and 8 psi as the grip was incredible.?

How do you find the charger upgrade - thinking of doing same to my Revelations.

2018 Levo Expert, Blue Flow Carbon 29er rims with Hope pro 4 hubs. Fox Transfer post. I have now got a range extender to fit.

Curious what tire you have on the rear and how the clearance is 2.5"? I'm not able to get a 2.6" minion to fit. A 2.6" butcher fits but it's much lower than the front Minion so it's throwing off my geometry.

Me too, I have the same frame and I can’t even get a 2.4 Aspen to fit without rubbing!

The wife's '18 Aluminum has an extra .5"' clearance if not more. The Maxxis fits on hers no problem.

The rear triangle is different between alu and carbon on a 2018 Levo, here is what a 2.4 looks like on mine:

 

[MarkH]

Replace wheelset with 29" Mavic EXA 30s, 2.5 WT DHFs and custom wheel decals.

Could you do me a huge favour and take a pic showing how much space you have between tire and up against motor(front lower triangle)?

I have the exact same bike as yours in L and I can only run a 2.2 tire at the back, even a 2.3 ground Control is rubbing up against the motor

I have contacted my local @Specialized Rider Care more than a week ago but apparently they could not care less replying a customer - Not a word from them and so much for the apparently good Specialized support everyone are praising but not in Scandinavia

My theory is that there exist more than one rear triangle size as some have plenty of space and others not so much.

That sounds odd as my bike is a small and has about 5mm clearance with the 29" mavics which are 30mm internal width. I'll post a photo in a couple of days. I suspect more likely sizing difference between tyre manufacturers - it may be 2.5 DHFs are actually less tall than 2.3 ground control. Rim internal width will also have a impact.

 

[khorn]

I have tried 3 different 29" rims from 25 mm to 34 mm inner width. I have tried 4 different tires from Specialized and Maxxis in 2.2 to 2.4. Only the Maxxis Ardent race 2.2 can be there with less than 5 mm space.
