Wheeltop EDS GeX

Could you post a link to the AliExpress tool you used to cut the brake hoses? Did you also get the replacement barbs from Ali?

I actually bought the cutter and the BH59 barbs and olives as a single purchase https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005921749825.html

There are lots of these cutters and BH59 seems to be the Shimano type that fit GeX according to forums I've read. They're working for me.  As I mentioned the cutter isn't absolutely necessary, but it may the job so easy, one of those tools that is surprisingly good, especially for pushing the barb in straight with ease.

Any reliable 42 or 44t casette that is shimano road hub compatible?

When you say 'Shimano compatible', I assume you mean HG (Hyperglide) type.  I use a Sunrace but there are loads of brands that do them, no idea why but 11-44 is not common, 11-42 and 11-46 are more common cassette types.... I think it's better durability to get a steel or mostly steel cassette, if buying from aliexpress I've been spedao recently, they seem to work well and lightweight..... however, I have not tried many other aliexprss brands, eg. ZTTO, Goldix, Sunshine, etc

Alright. Let me try to check aliexpress.

On a side note my gex derailleur died. Lol
After charging its not responding to any shift nor discoverable in the app. Anyone experienced this?
