No, they're similar to Shimano using something similar to the shadow derailleur hanger design. I tried setting up a Shimano direct mount hanger on my UDH bike and the LTwoo RD wouldn't fit on a Shimano specific DM hanger. It's slightly different.

So just have attach it to the hanger directly? Does that work fine?

Did anyone get the issue where you can't shift to the larger gears while on battery?
My egr just squeak and turn itself off whenever i do that. I assume it needs more energy to shift to large cogs.
If i plug it into the wall then shifting is fine. Shifting to smaller cogs with battery is also fine.
I suspected low battery and the app just report the wrong battery level at 100% so i left it overnight but didn't work.

I highly recommend getting a separate battery charger and charging the batteries before installing it into the battery holder. Also clean the connectors periodically as well. I find my eGR port needs to be cleaned more often than my eR9 setup.

IF you want to go ahead with a wide-range rear cassette and/or "clutch" like on the eGR RD, I think that's probably the way to do it.

What you need to do it is the dual-port battery that comes with the road group. The eGR version only has a single port to power the RD. Getting the road set would include that and the shifters/brakes. And then you need the eGR or MTB RD. Supposedly LTWOO will support pairing across product lines. Confirmation on that seems thin though. If I get a chance at Sea Otter I'll try to remember to ask someone.

Can you provide more info on the MTB electric RD?

My patience for this group set is wearing thin.

When bleeding the front brake, despite using the right tool, somehow that little grub screw in the lever got jammed in the threads and it’s stripped. Then the springs holding lever mechanism fell apart so I’m left with a bunch of springs and a jammed grub screw. Are there schematics for how these are put together so I can reassemble? Can I run the brake with no grub screw?

I’m wondering if biting the bullet on a new shifter might be easier.

Interesting comment. Is there any difference between the ports on the eGR and eR9? AFAIK, the basic connector is the same. But perhaps positioning, or the surrounding or... 

I ask because I'm still trying to figure out why my first one became problematic to charge (despite brushing, alcohol etc.) and the warranty V2 unit (based on the longer cage and no other details) works fine so far and might be different
