Praxxis 36t, is it direct replacement?

[roguenode]

Loving my new 2020 Turbo Levo Comp, but want a larger chainring. I see some have swapped to the Praxxis 36t ring. Just want to make sure it's a direct replacement (no shims or other parts or mods needed?) and also see if there are any downsides to the swap.

It should just swap out. Make sure you get the "e-ring" though, as in the steel one and not the aluminium one.

It's pre-threaded like the factory ring, so nothing else needed (in theory)....

This thread might help :

Hi guys, any of you upgrade the front chain ring from 32 to 36 teeth ? If so what will work with the Levo ? Thanks - EMTB Forums

For me, I find I use the whole spread of the cassette more.

The only downside, riding uphill with a flat battery sucks.

Thanks, I probably would have found that thread if I hadn't been using praxxis in my searching or widened it to just a chain ring search.

Appreciate the assist! Using more of the cassette and not out-pedaling the bike on flats what I'm looking for.
