Yep, at least I'll have an extra RD for spare parts.

Anyway, I swopped out the faulty RD with my other newer ER9 RD just to confirm definitively that it is the RD drawing down the batt and not any other component or the batts themselves.  The new RD with original FD, batts and shifters remained at 88% for 24hrs.  But the faulty RD with brand new and uninstalled FD, batts and shifters (all paired and connected together) dropped from 94% to 84% in 24hrs just sitting on my desk.

80 designer store really has good service, great solution from them

Group installed here, raced with it. Trained with it and I have to say wow very impressed with what I got for the money. Shifts better than my old dura ace 11v di2.
Running 12s with a cheaper 11-28 cassette (219gr).

It's all about rolling ressistance for me. If they test them and they are fast I will try them. Or atleast close to fast ..
Running with gp5000s for that reason, the only non chinese part aswell here. Even on gravel it's thundero or g-one rs.
Fast and aero is laif :P

Here's the link to that OSPW:

If you look closely at the photos you can see the 4 tension hole adjustments.

One more thought: I find gear protection an acceptable trade-off on the ER9/X because I feel small/small is where you'll most likely drop a chain. I also plan on keeping my chain catcher as an added bit of insurance.

Avoid these cages at all costs. Broke two of these, last one on a cobble section in a race. Pure garbage! Consider yourself warned :)

Hi All
I'm a bike mechanic in Ireland, and in the last year I've built 5 customer bikes and 1 for me using eRX. And it's all been grand, couple wee hickups here are there, but overall very good, customers happy

Nice to hear since Ireland has the same wet climate like Belgium. No water ingress issues with the rear derailleur?

I once had an Xcadey PM die on me shortly after arrival. I spoke to the seller on aliexpress, made prove with videos and pictures. He sent me a new one without costs.
Another time I've had a set of replica wheels being held at customs, one of the biggest sellers on aliexpress send me another pair.
Not all those sellers are bad but indeed build relations with people and be gentle with them.

How did you guys find the balance between over- and under tightening the headset. I seem to have headsetplay but when I tighten it to the point where the play is gone, my steerer isn't moving freely anymore and makes a scratching sound when turning it. I just can't seem to find the sweet spot.

Any tips would be appreciated  :D

Took me a few tries to get that sorted. Slightly overtightened and after one ride it was perfect.

No worries. I think later too you can simply unplug the cable from derailleurs and plug in different one to see if it shifts. In any case, good luck with the race! Has your groupset shipped already? Its cutting pretty close to 13/4. Mine is still processing. I am not expecting it to arrive before mid April (order placed yesterday). Not that I need it like you do but I am unnecessarily impatient  :D

Er9 is already at customs waiting for import. EGR isn't shipped yet. Really curious and hoping it just works flawlessly :s

Please let us know if ER9 shifters work with EGR RD and ER9 FD together or ERG shifters with ER9 FD before you install them!

There will be 10-12 days between arrivals, if I didn't install them I'll try it out but I need the ER9 bike for a race 13/4.
I think i'll let you down here :(

@Serge_K
It's 26€ handling + vat on 170 +-. Mostly between 45 and 50€.

i am from BE and rideing the er9 groupset, I payed an extra 30€ on tax. They put the price lower without asking them .

But what I read about racing it in kermesse ... I don't know but if you pay 400€ you really can't compare it to shimano or sram. the groupset is okay but not more than that. I wouldn't recommend it to people who really want quality. I was riding this weekend in bad weather and the shifting reactions where just bad. Sometimes you just have to shift like 10 times before the RD reacts to it.

Worth taking the risk, sram front shifting was horrible never going back to that. I'll try to put something over the connections to protect it from water ingress.

let me know how it goes with the customs. I was thinking about buying that set but am afraid of customs here in BE

Seller declared the value lower i always ask around 170 dollar so it's the absolute minimum import duty and it's a realistic value since the belgian limit is at 150 dollar.
Did this a few times before it works. Don't put 25 dollars on it or they will look it up :)
