Can I ask how did you paired your erx with your garmin computer?
Varia mounts horizontally instead of vertically. The orientation is wrong. Unscrewed the Garmin plate but there are no screw holes elsewhere so it can be mounted only one way - and it's like shown in the picture.
I too bought aftermarket batteries because I purchased the groupset without them. I am now at roughly 9000 shifts according to the app (although I'm not sure if this has been reset somewhere along the way when doing firmware updates). I've clocked around 1700km on this groupset and I've just charged it for the second time like 100km ago. So I think it's roughly on par with Sram AXS groups when it comes to batter life.
What is slightly annoying is that while the battery level is correctly displayed in the app, I still get a low battery level warning every time the groupset connects to my Wahoo when starting a ride. It's a bug that apparently still hasn't been fixed. Unless one of you guys knows something I don't?
It happens to the best of us! I now carry the USB charger cable with a USB C to A converter, so I can quickly top up just enough to get me home/anywhere to stop and charge using only my phone. Both the cable and USB converter are so compact I can easily shove them in my saddle bag.
So I finally got the matching bleeding kit and got around to bleeding the brakes. Rear brake went completely smooth - was done in 5 minutes or so.
Front brake however - it seems like the brifter is leaking air somewhere, when I pull on a brake lever, there's a sloshing noise, similar to sound you get when you are pushing in a water bottle. The sound is coming from the top of brifter, both the oil and air screws are fully tightened. Any ideas what could be the issue? Don't have a video at the moment, apologies.
These SCVCN photochromic glasses are simultaneously great and terrible.
I wore them a handful of times and they quickly became my favorite glasses, but they can't survive a 5 ish foot drop onto carpet.Arm snapped right off.
Tbh considering I paid $2, I'll probably buy them again.
Can someone link the right batteries for Ltwoo Electronic? Thanks!
My 500k update on er9. I’m pleased with it. It works very well. No issues, despite a few rides in really grim weather conditions. I’ve also washed the bike quite a few times now. No problems.
Found this comparison from 3 months ago "Does L-Twoo eRX really outperform Di2 Dura Ace? Battle of Budget vs premium electronic shifting" by
Klein Concept on youtube (see I am not allowed to use the direct url so you will have to search for it)
Ooh I've been looking for a light/power bank combo, nice find
Actually now that I think about it, mounting it on a quarter mount means you have to angle your holder down and your computer away from you.
I'm curious, looking at your frame I'd presume it'd be a sub 8kg bike maybe sub 7.5kg. Even with power meter pedals, I would think going with ERX would offset a bit of the weight. The 105 R7000 isn't that heavy either. Is it your 60mm deep dish Elite Wheels and/or cassette that's adding weight?
Nice! The gold chain and the gold labelling on the erx gruppo go rather well together. Also, I'm a fan of the previous generation Shimano cranks aesthetically. I like the lines and the combination of gloss black and matte on the 105 crank. Have fun!
I asked Chris. It's an IS 52/40 with 45° bearing interface in the frame. The bearing is 7mm tall. Good to know because there's also headset bearings with 8mm height. I got a Cane Creek 10 Series lower headset bearing. Those are durable enough and pretty cheap. I'm using one in my gravel bike which lasts ages already. Also, they come with a glass fiber plastic crown race which is easy to put on. I'll take that opportunity and finally cut my fork down enough to lose that spacer I still got sitting on my stem. Luckily, on the rim brake frame I can just pull the fork out. I just have to loosen the cable clamp bolt on the front brake.
