Re: Onirii One A couple pictures of the final bike. I'll post a more thorough review (in a month or so) about how it rides. Things are pretty busy for me at the moment and I don't have much time to test it.

Some notes on the build: I'll get it weighed at some point, sadly I don't own a good scale for getting the final weight of a full bike. It should be right around 15lbs/6.8kg though. I had to go in with a file to clean up some of the holes for wires and brake hoses (hole that leads up to the front derailleur and hole that leads out to the rear derailleur). I'm not a big fan of where the wire exits the chainstay to connect the rear derailleur. It just leaves a lot of exposed wire that should probably be held down with a zip tie. Bottom bracket threads were very clean and the BB threaded in easily. I've encountered some pretty crappy bb threads on brand new bikes in the past but the threads on this frame where very clean and the BB threaded in easily. Once the bikes has more miles on it, I'll take out the crank and check the axle to see if there are any signs of wear from the bearings that would indicate bb misalignment. It was a little hard to see in the the threads where the caliper mounts on the fork but I could see a hint of blue inside, I'm guessing they pre-applied some Loctite.

The most intense modification I made was drilling a hole in the handlebar down by the Junction-A so the di2 wire could exit the bar. Initially I planned to route it through the bar and make a u-turn out the same hole the brake hose uses to enter the handlebar but my wire was not long enough so I improvised ::)

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023 Bike build completed - just some tweaks needed on brakes.

Weight comes out at 6.8kg as pictured - set up for next few months with gears to get up Flanders hills.  Will probably put bigger ring and my Farsports 69mm tubs for summer (calm) days which will lose about 300g.

Will give a view on how it rides in next few weeks.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
I had a to get my shifter on my GR9 group replaced. 80 Designer store sent me another and I paid shipping. They had the typical timezone delay on responses.

Just received a reply from 80's designer on sending me a new RD and wanted US$15 for shipping.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Damn bleeding these brakes is a mess. Front brake failed to bleed multiple times.
Saw a 105 di2 group cheap around me and bought it. With all the fails, I'm gonna sell it and be safe :s

For me, it's actually quite the opposite. I have easier time bleeding the calipers, especially with the additional air port. I very much prefer L-Twoo's system compared to previous 11 speed Shimano. I haven't tried the new 12 speed system from Shimano, but I'd guess it's similar.
