Levo Gen 2 Specialised Turbo Levo Regular Maintenance

This lube is what we use for all electrical connections at work, to be noted that you do not put it on the actual wires / conductors inside the plug, but on the O-ring/ seal / gasket/ IP washer etc. Good stuff !!
Personally I use it on my seat post dropper after every ride, Only a really thin layer though

Thanks probably not available in uk probably find something similar though. Some folk use lithium grease .Looking for 1601 M3 a liquid spray only available online .

I use this grease to seal and protect electrical connectors:

So just on outside of connectors i pressume , how much would i use. So just look for dielectric grease .

 

[salko]

Yes, just on sealing part of the connector before I put it in the opposite side of connector, I use very little, just to cover this seal area with thin film, I guess I have this tube for about next 200-300 years ...

Both sides of battery and motor cable. What about the TCU ones.

No, I don't use it on TCU connectors as with me it is not so exposed to water & dirt as motor/battery connections ... However I do have little bit of insulation tape over the USB port on TCU ...

As long as it's silicon based, we call it silicon grease at work, should be able to get it anywhere that sell automobile parts,
check it out here, Silicone grease - Wikipedia

650 kms... no measurable chain wear, rear sprocket and front chain ring no visible wear. Keep it washed and cleaned, retensioned spokes twice during the first few weeks. Last week removed all the rear end linkage bolts and cleaned up and re-greased all linkage bolts, seals and bearing faces and reassembled - all looked good and retorqued everything back to recommended settings. Removed engine covers and inspected and cleaned out, again all good. Replaced a worn rear tyre last week... apart from that, love riding my Turbo Levo!

Hi Paul,
I really like the look of this setup, and I have seen a few of your videos,
But nowhere you have spoken about the gear ratios, as in, with a cassette you have a 51-10 and a say 32 front chain ring, I find that I start pedalling too fast /or out pedal when I get on flat roads to get back home,

1; How does the Rohloff compare with this, as I have just bought a bigger chain ring (36) so I can get better peddling power on the flat/downhills,?

2; would your 1st gear compare to a 32 front and 10 back and last gear compare to 32 front and 51 back etc?

3:Another question is: how have you found your Battery usage in comparison , as we usually try to go for long rides in the forests around home 50km up to 70km, have you found the efficiency similar , better or worse?

4; Do you think they are going to bring out an interchangeable hub, similar to the kindernay , where you can change out the gearbox without having to "respoke" the wheel, which would make it easier to service or repair or change to another bike / wheel for the same bike etc?

Thanks in advance for any more info

Sorry guys I think we should actually start a new thread for this , as its probably off topic here,
Paul Moir, I not sure if you have another thread already, could you let me know what the name of it is please,
Thanks

2021 Turbo Levo motor belt service interval? Is there recommendation about kilometres when should replace the new belt?
