2024 11.11 / Black Friday sale planning

I purchased the Ltwoo ER9 for 380.00.  I already have Di2 on one bike and Wheeltop on another.  I figured for the price I can experiment on a new build and see where it stands compared to the other two. 

I mean only a year ago I was paying 200.00 for R7000 minigruppos… full electric with hydro brakes, I’ll gamble on it to see how it performs.

Do you have rim brake Wheeltop groupset? How's the brake lever action, snappy like Shimano or sloppy like SRAM

Just follow all the steps to protect your battery cables like dielectric grease and liquid tape/rubber cement. Also quality batteries should be used as well. My ER9 groupsets have worked well, but with a few hiccups.

The super-narrow Balugoe  handlebars sold by the Shop1100225247 Store are on genuinely good sale at $48 + free shipping. Just picked up a set in 350mm + a 130mm Balugoe carbon stem so I can run the ultra-narrow ultra-aero setup next summer.

I'm also liking the liquid mask goo for this - very easy to deploy in the right places

What's the consensus on these RYET wheels? I was thinking of picking these up for my gravel bike. I don't need anything fancy or ultra lightweight, since they'll just get abused on the trails.

looks like a good deal - it would cost you $200+ for rims and $75+ for these hubs, so you're getting labor/spokes for free.
