Ordered a frameset with handlebar, size M in a darkblue metallic paint which I'm eagerly awaiting delivery on.

Will build it up with Elite Wheels Drive 50mm, Dura Ace 12sp and Favero Assiomas Duo. Fingers crossed it will come in around 7.6-7.8 kg with pedals, bottle cages and garmin mount.

Was contemplating going deeper on the wheels just for the aeeeeeeero look :) but settled on the 50mm as I have on most of my bikes. Live in a windy area with rolling terrain but no major climbs in terms of length.

I'm sooo close to pulling the trigger and getting this ordered. Any idea on the wait time with the custom paint option??

Mikey.

Hi, thanks a lot for your fast replies

Are there any wider rims with more then 25mm internal as this seems to be the sweetspot for 28mm tires, i guess 28mm would be perfect internally.

What's your suggestion

Thanks mates

Thanks, I will definitely double-check.
My rides felt normal otherwise but the brake power has quite some leverage through the fork, right?
Did you "feel" anything while riding?

I swapped a flat bar for a drop bar on a gravel bike and installed a GR9 ltwoo system.

Everyone was fine for the first 100 miles or so. Then while braking the rear brake locked up. Now I am unable to bleed it. Ie can not push any fluid through. Any ideas?

 I did like the 11-51 range and it shifted nicely with a Shimano cues cassette.

Lol those holes are the most retarded pattern imaginable, it's almost funny. imagine the donkey who came up with the design.

They work fine! I double checked my gravel bike brake pads which does long descents on dirt trails and there are no deep track lines on the pads. My 2x160mm rotors are 1.6mm thick and feel quite sturdy. For someone to toast their rotors and dig tracks into their brake pads suggest to me they weighed like 130kg and had zero clue how to feather and modulate front/rear braking! There's a reason they have bigger rotors for bigger riders!

I think it is 90mm rear travel with 190x45mm shock.

My ER9 is still going strong. When it works, it's f**king great! Though I'm not ignoring the problems. Hence why I don't ride my ER9 bike in the rain & don't wash it with a hose, I rotate my bikes to minimize wear-n-tear and I don't do things like shifting both the left/right shifters at the same time.

Also I'm theorizing that some aftermarket batteries might be an issue as well. That's the one variable that differs between all the working/non-working units. This is probably why Shimano uses their own proprietary unit and SRAM insist on only using their OEM batteries. I could imagine a sh**ty battery could potentially toast the ER9/X RD electronics.

Even with all the issues and the non-existent LTwoo support, I'd probably buy another ER9 groupset when it's on sale. The performance-price-risk factor is still worth it for me.

980? Dont Carbonda claim a 1200 weight? That is a big weight improvement.

it's 2x11 with 50-34 and 11-32
really looking forward to the outcome of your video call
I have Fix my problem :) take voltage meter and check V of batteries 14500 should have from 2.2v?? To max 4.4 (something like that), mine have 5.2-5.5V, now long 5h ride with new batteries ( this new have 4.2v) and 0 problem, 0! :)
