LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets

[jonathanf2]

Please post when you receive, I'm curious how yours will turn out. Especially the "mixed" nature of the parts!

I failed in my attempt. I initiated the return but by the time I got home and got pictures of it to start the return process the store had already sold out. Hopefully 80s Designer Store or Ltwoo Official Store get some more stock. Only one with stock right now is 318 Trader store but the customer service was clueless about versions and couldn't send pictures so I'm not going to bother.

I would keep it if I were you. Maybe order a spare battery charger cable as well. It'll probably be the last time you'll get an electronic groupset for $300'ish USD. 

Just stick to the dielectric grease and liquid tape method to keep the battery ports weather sealed.

I’ve paired my LTWOO brifters with Campagnolo calipers. Works great. I used the Campy pin and olive on the caliper end of the brake line. Those are virtually identical with Magura so I’m sure that Magura calipers would work as well. In fact I’ve paired Magura MT8 calipers with Campy Ekar levers on my gravel bike. And the LTWOO hydraulic units in the brifters are basically Campy copies. And I’m quite sure you could pair the levers with Shimano calipers as well.

Good to know. I'm about to do the same with a Wheeltop group, for the weight savings. Its on an sl8 replica, so dual Ekar calipers for me (they're identical to the 140 road calipers) with the unique 160 adaptor up front. Folks have used both the Shimano and Campy pin and olive when doing Shimolo, but I was going to do what you did, Campy at the caliper end. Were you able to reuse the same hose?

I'm considering it. I'll maybe hang onto it for a minute within the return window I started and see if stock comes back at one of the big ali sellers.

I already have a spare mag charging cable as well as a spare RD battery wire. If I decide to keep it, I might order a third mag charging cable since they seem to have phases it out and it might disappear from the face of the planet in a very short time.
