2 days ago, I swapped out my crank set that uses 50 - 34 chainrings to a new set of cranks with 48-32 chainrings.   I shortened my chain my a link, lowered the front derailleur then performed a new calibration on the app for the front derailleur.   Now that I am very familiar with using the WheelTop app, this process went very smoothly.  I had to re-tune 4 of the rear cogs.   Took the bike out for a 17 mile, 1,500 feet of climbing test ride.   I am becoming used to the shifters and had no "human error" mis shifts.   

The more I ride the EDS TX, the more I like it.  (After about 220 miles on the new kit, plus the shifting during my latest tuning, the front derailleur says 77%, rear derailleur is at 71% battery charge.)

I hope you get this solved...

I can't believe there are fake Novatec hubs  :o I bought a couple of sets for 80 EUR in the past sale. And that is incl VAT... They can't win more dan 10 EUR by using fake hubs I guess... That's a really low move...

There are more fake DT SWISS. Some sellers will clearly state that they are fake, but some will not.
“Novatec” also has fake ones, but they are easy to tell the difference.
You can see the difference in micro-marking and size

I saw that cassette when it was released. The mixed steel/alloy design is a no-go for me. Every steel/alloy cassette I've owned always looks like crap with worn alloy big cogs. The newer ZTTO/Goldix lightweight all-steel cassette has been working great and they have an improved design over the Spedao/SRoad cassettes.

Better stick to all steel cassettes

I was waiting for the oil slick colored 12 speed stuff but I guess I’ll pass for now. Thanks for sharing.

Why not buy both models (0 and 20). A seatpost costs around 50-60USD;  On short saddles (approx. 245 cm), you have fewer adjustment possibilities compared to a 275 cm saddle


Thanks! I've made some quick calculations on https://www.bikegeocalc.com and I'm going for 0 setback and 100mm stem. It'll still be more aggressive than the bikes I have but should be fine ahaha. Let's hope. Fingers crossed.

Let's see now how long it will take to deliver

See attached photo. This cassette has been super cool and lightweight, albeit has exhibited some very rough shifting around the 3-tooth jump between cogs 7 and 8.

After no more than 100 miles of riding I noticed a tooth was sheared off. Thankfully I was granted a return (after nearly 3 months of ownership), but I'm posting this as a fair warning to everyone else.

Thanks. Unfortunately it's quite hard for me to assess since my other bikes are completely different ahah. Will try to get access to a canyon ultimate L size. Apparently they have very similar geometries.

I'm pretty comfy on the endurace for example L size, which is basically the same of all endurace. I know this one is more agressive, but just wonder really the difference on those 2 things. 110 stem and the seatpost setback. Bike size is definitely the 58.

I can imagine though thst with 0 setback I can still play with the seat sth like 15mm back. Will see but place the order in any case.
