LTWOO eGR

Same here. I'm hoping that is a sign of stability not...

Yes, same here. Frankly, I've got no issues that I think need to be addressed via firmware. It would be nice if they found something neat to do with those extra 2 buttons on the left brifter (maybe some novel shifting modes, or maybe a way to do data screen stuff on a gps unit, etc).

Yeah, I want them to let use use the left side buttons. Ideally assign at will.  But I see no reason not to simply allow both sides to be live. Personally, I'd like to be able to set them 'SRAM style' (up on one side, down on the other). I got feedback from LTWOO suggesting that they might do something. But no commitment.

Also going to write them about this topic! As more people might request this feature, chances will maybe increase that they implement it.

..................
In case you wonder, could not get the cable through the chain stay since the connector is too long and stiff. Tried from both sides and finally gave up.
The routing tool with 5mm diameter passes in both directions but the stiff cable connector with the same diameter gets stuck and will not move..... I guess you can't always win

Hi @ChrisB,

many thanks for the idea with the heat shrink tube. Might work!

About the cable connector and about its stiffness and how long it is. Where did it got stuck? Near the RD in my frame I have this black piece where the RD-cable has to fit through. 2.8mm diameter on one and 6mm on the other side. I could possibly widen the 2.8mm hole to e.g. 5mm. How much is the diameter of the cable on the thickest part?

Kind regards, Dennis

Hello Dennis

In my case the cable got stuck way inside the frame, there may be some uneven surface in the most narrow part of the chainstay...
If the current solution bugs me enough I may have another go at routing the cable, but for the moment I will ride the bike as is.  ;-)

Did you get a conversation going? Having the left shifter paddles redundant is quite annoying (I mean at best, it's a waste of good electronics and extra weight!)

Ideal world I would have it SRAM style, with the upper buttons used to change bike computer page.

It'd be cool if you could use the shifters to scroll through your phone music playlist!

That wouldn't exactly by my first voice for a feature, but literally anything is better than nothing.

Took my e-gr out for its first run yesterday. A proper UK gravel route with a bit of everything. I'm running a 48t up front (it's a bit big) and 11-50 on the back, which is out of spec. I needed to run the b-screw all the way in, and very careful manage the limit screw to not throw the chain. Once dialled in, it shifts incredibly smoothly - better than my red AXS on my road bike, truly. Sometimes it shifted so quietly I wasn't certain it had!

As others have mentioned the left lever is completely wasted. It can't be used for anything. That would be my number 1 update request.

I'm curious what bike/frame you're running it on? I have a theory that the amount of b-screw needed to use it out of spec with a 50t varies a bit. On my V1 Cutthroat, it didn't require full screw to do the job. The only 'issue' I found in operation is that the vertical motion while moving in the last (biggest) cogs is a VERY tight fit. Originally I had the speed setting to high and it bound up a bit on continuous shift as it was traveling faster than it could self-adjust. I don't happen to use continuous shift much (if at all, old habits die hard) so not a big deal. And I also changed the continuous speed to slow as insurance and don't find normal shifting degraded at all. (no, I haven't done a measured test)

[gloscherrybomb]

I'm using it on a Ribble c-gr. I find that having the b-screw all the way in gives some security without affecting the quality of shifts elsewhere on the cassette at all.

I have my 2017 Giant TCX switched over from R8000 Ultegra with the clutched RX800 RD to the eGR group. My cranks are GXP so running 42t paired with a Sunshine 12s 11-46 and a SRAM NX Eagle 12s chain (for now until the KMC x12 chains arrive). I originally purchased 12s Shimano chains but the inner width is too tight for the SRAM narrow wide chainring. The chainring is 11s but works fine with the 12 chain.

It's all setup and dialed in nicely. I have R8070 Di2 on my Madone and the shifting is as precise IMO.

I did use some 8 mm heat shrink tube to cover the cable connector to help avoid water ingress. If using a heat gun be cautious, the cable itself can easily overheat and get soft.

The point I wanted to let everyone know is that I would suggest checking the 3 T10 screws that face towards the floor. During my setup one fell to the floor. I added some blue thread locker and snugged all three. Unsure of a torque spec but the seems like they would strip threads easy so take it easy if you do this.

Andrew, can you clarify which screws you're referring to? (picture maybe?)
