I'm really liking this one so far: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802471941574.html
I've seen this one and took it into consideration, but the flare is too big for me. It's about 20° right?
I now took a chance with the Syncros, will post my experience in here.

Do you mean pass front brake hose to the left in front of the steering tube and hold it there with a tape?
With this technique, your pipe will be on the right side

Some hold the cable with adhesive tape on the fork (at mid-height) to keep it on the right side. Also make sure that your cable has not passed behind the fork to come back in front

Did anyone build the bike with 2by mechanical shifting? I'm struggling with routing the cables through the headset. The problem is that the exit port for front brake is on the right side of the steering tube for some reason so I end up with 3 cables on one side and 1 cable on the other side of the steering tube wich results in steering pulling to the right when assembled.

Just a quick update on my EDS TX Road rim brake group. 

Have logged a decent amount of training miles and did two 60-70mi group rides with some climbing.

Overall, the experience has been good.  Three issues have been bothering me:

1) In certain gears (7 and 4) when shifting down I get some “clicking” like its not fully seated. This is after I used the “fine tuning adjustment” in the work stand.  However, for the troublesome sprockets, if I shift down one gear and then back up to the one that makes noise, it goes away.  Just an annoyance.

2) On occasion, it will overshift, almost aways on the downshift. Again this is in the middle gears.  It only happens once in awhile.  A simple upshift drops it in the correct gear.

3) “Racing Mode” has never worked for me.  I’ve attempted multiple times to enable racing mode but it just skips 2-3 gears with every press of the shifter. So, I’ve only used it in Casual Mode.


Today, I decided to do some more fine tuning with the app.  Wheeltop pushed an update for the app and firmware updates for all the group components.  I ended up starting over with the initial calibration and went one by one readjusting each cog.  I was able to eliminate issues 1 and 3. All the gears shift up and down without issue.  Racing mode now works.  Time will tell if issue 2 continues or not.  I’ll be putting quite a bit of training miles on it tomorrow. 

Hopefully the firmware upgrades made a difference.

Received my frame and wheels today :) paint job looks stunning but as others mentioned I doubt it’s even clear coated at all and I’m seriously concidering applying one before I build up the bike. And the frame had a random additional painted stripe I had not requested, but it looks nice so probably some finishing touch of the painter  ;D
.

That's odd that you got an extra stripe but I doubt it was something that the painter just added.

I've had mine for over a year now, and very pleased with it.  No issues and just works, paired to my Bryton.
Didn't even realized there were firmware upgrades till I read this thread!

how long does it last and has the battery degraded over a year?
