Tools Required; Recommended Tire Pressures - Speacialized Turbo Levo Manuel Utilisateur

The seat collar torque spec can vary depending on the seatpost or seatpost/shim combination.
3
Certain dropper seatposts can be very sensitive to torque. Too low torque can cause seatpost
slip, too high torque can cause the mechanism to bind as the saddle is raised or lowered. The seat
collar baseline torque spec is 45 in-lbf / 5.1 Nm, but can be raised or lowered slightly (35-55 in-lbf
/ 4.0-6.2 Nm) as required by the seatpost. Follow the seatpost's recommended applied torque if
available, and do not exceed 55 in-lbf / 6.2 Nm.
Apply blue loctite to chainring bolts.

Proper tire pressure is critical for optimal performance. Tires with higher pressure will typically roll faster and provide
less rolling resistance, but provide less traction. Tires with lower pressure will typically provide increased traction
and control at the expense of rolling resistance. Too little pressure will increase the risk of rim damage and potential
for "burped" tires (releasing air when used as tubeless).
Experiment with different tire pressures in different conditions to find what works best for you when riding your
preferred terrain.
Use a quality pressure gauge and refer to the tire pressure recommendations written on the side of the tires.
Because of the extra weight of the LEVO bicycle, tire pressure should generally be higher compared to a
regular bicycle, such as a Stumpjumper FSR.
