LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
patliean1:
Groupsets and wheels are the two things you really should not skimp on. Basically any moving or electronic components.
Framesets, handlebars/stem, saddles, and any other static parts can be had for cheap without really posing any risks to safety or reliability.

Yea, it's so cheap that it's worth a try. The review of ChinaCycling does look good to me. Interestingly, on his reviews on the china bike show he mentioned that it is good to wait for the second version of a groupset. In general, the manufacturers tend to rule out the problems of the first version.
I'm also wondering, how are these groupsets patent wise? Are components illegal copies of other groupsets?
Liter:
it actually looks better than the new Campy.
I wonder how the weight is for the ERX, but for the same price you could buy Sram Force.

Considering I can probably get into Sram Rival AXS for around $900.00 +/- not sure that I'd want to take the chance on a cheaper chinese electro set. I would on the other had try out the mechanical LTWOO graevel 1X12 set that TraceVelo loved.

If we're comparing against SRAM, LTWOO's ERX is actually lighter than even SRAM Force for the same parts.
