Levo Gen 3 Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

Magura MDRP rotors suck. Sometimes they start making noise after you had to rearrange/bending them. They built in two-piece formation.

Best rotors are Brakestuff:

Does anyone know the weight difference between an S4 alloy and carbon frame?

I’ve upgraded the brakes to MT7 Pros but I’m still not totally happy with the stopping power…

Looking at new rotors, any recommendations? These are top of my list.

Except for the fact that they're noisy (which does get old), they hold true better than other rotors I've tried. Storm HC are a solid choice if 203mm is all you need.

I think is about 500grms.

Same bike here! I put kevlar pads on the Code Rs with Hope Rotors and love it!

 

[unclezz]

For the records: I just received a Turbo Levo Gen 3 Expert and it is still with the old crappy charging port cover...

 

[iXi]

Anyone swapped out the sram hub for a Shimano Hg hub?

 

[CampingfamCO]

After each of my rides I’m now getting this error message in the ride app. I’m not seeing any codes or anything. Has anyone had this before? Any ideas?

Error:

Speed Issue: One or more speed values are outside of your acceptable range.

any chance you can provide a link for these pads?

Hello friends. I'm new to the forum with a specialized Turbo Levo Comp carbon 2022 for a couple of months. Last week I updated the new firmware that was available in mission control. Today I went out and I noticed and verified that the power of the engine has dropped.
With the old firmware, it reached a peak power of 726W, with the new one it hasn't gone over 695W.
I have all the power parameters configured in the MC, etc. just like before, but I have noticed a lot of engine performance drop in all modes.
Has anyone else noticed it?
Thank you

 

[Jamo]

Rode for first time today since update and it felt less powerful. I’ve no way to quantify it, just pure feel….

I have, but specialized confirmed the update they did would not have reduced power output. Others have also said they didn’t notice a difference. All I know is that since I’ve done it I now feel like the power is being applied sporadically, lower, and the bike is producing errors.

 

[Bolet]

Yes, i too feel power is being applied sporadically and sometimes no power for a seconds..

 

[flash]

Have done the update on my two Levos (expert and pro). No difference I can perceive on either bike. I'm in a 25kmh zone. Not sure if region might make a difference.

[Alexbn921]

Update might not have been successful. My kenevo feels identical to before the update

 

[brigcampbell]

Switching over to Squirt Wax chain lube.

The Levo kicks up WAY more dust than my Stumpy. Rear cog and wheel are covered in dust.

The chain is a crunchy mess. I rode a trail where I was 10 miles from anything and I thought I had bent or broke something from the noise.

Got home and figured I better get the bike into the specialized shop. It was really dirty so I cleaned it. Rides like butter.

I went into the LBS and told them. They said "wax is the only way. It's what we all run on our Levos"

great tip. I'm in NorCal (Sierras) and I still get a lot of dust. hopefully Bezos will sell me some.

Ordered from Bike Bling.

You need to watch a couple of YouTube videos on wax. Basically clean the hell out of the chain, cassette, and chainring with degreaser (simple green works) Chain can soak in mineral spirits. The chain needs to be very clean then clean it again. Great, now clean it one more time.

Wax chain thoroughly making sure it's in every nook and cranny and let dry. Then lightly wax again.

When chain is dirty just wipe with rag and / or rinse lightly. Let dry and add a little more wax. Never need to do anything else.

Also picked up 4 powerlock 12 speed. They're difficult to get, specialized store didn't have any and didn't know when.

Funny story while I was in there. The GM was ordering a SRAM cassette from Amazon. Seriously. They built a custom S-Works Levo SL for a guy who is picking it up on Friday. He paid $14K and Specialized can't get the cassette. GM said screw it, I'm not risking losing the sale.

 

[Bolet]

I'm also at 25km/h. I have noticed that the engine makes much less noise. Before it was a turbine, now I don't even hear it.

 

[PaPaYoU]

for those who find that the power is reduced since the last update I realized that the acceleration response was not always saved and returned to zero (Mission Control 3.0 iPhone iOS 15.6) on custom settings

 

[ruppia]

With the update i can feel a better response. More fluent from the beginning of action
For my perspective now the bike it's better. I going to ask LBS whats new on 8.1.5

 

[CampingfamCO]

Yeah it’s really strange. Before the update I could really hear the motor in turbo mode, now only at certain times. Part of me feels like some torque management might have been put in to help reduce the amount of warranty claims. Not sure of how to prove that though. Something definitely doesn’t feel right, but it’s still rideable.

 

[Eduardoramundo]

I’m not updating until there is note of the changes published.

The bike currently works just fine.

One thing to watch out for, the wax build up rate on your jockey wheels is higher with Squirt and much higher with their e-bike formulation. Came down off a simple fire road run while the bike barely had 100 miles on the clock and the RD was making a hell of a racket until I scraped the crud off.

Thanks, I'll watch for it.

LBS said just a quick wipe after each ride. I can do that. LOL

I have my order of paraffin at home. Just waiting on my teflon order now to mix into it before I clean my chain in a friends ultrasonic cleaner. Then I'll do the hot wax dip.

I think this is only if you apply too much and/Or apply on the inside of the chain and forward the chain rather than backwards (you need to backpedal) the chain so it goes round the chainring and cassette before it gets to the jockeys, then there's never excess.

Hey guys. Just picked up a new s6 carbon Gen 3. Is there a good source for derestricting anywhere? Wanted to fit the peartune if it won’t invalidate warranties etc. Has anyone used the peartune on their Gen 3?
