The One has been updated to accept fully internal routing, with a really optimistic 675g claimed frame weight for PBO layup in Size 56

Will those shift buttons also appear on the ERX?

I remember awhile back you posted a website detailing LTwoo's financial investments. Unfortunately that site has a regional lockout now, but I found it interesting one of LTwoo's investors were US based.

No American shareholders to my knowledge, but some Chinese investors have significant global presence and financial heft (Hillhouse)

Those shift buttons and calipers will absolutely make their way to eRX/eR9 as running changes, they're a small company that can't afford to maintain many SKUs. Same reason why the mechanical hydraulic brifters are built so cheaply: the same shifter bodies and plastic gear levers are shared all the way from R5 9s to RX 12s.

L-TWOO eGR incoming...

It seems western YT'ers seem more excited about the ERX than they do in China, but the initial reviews are looking positive it seems. Also any word when the 1x ER9 shifters/RD will be available?

105 Di2 has been discounted to the point that it's a no brainer for the price conscious while guys with money won't dabble in anything less than what they already have.

The consensus is that while shifting accuracy is spot on, manufacturing accuracy still needs work. Some complaints I've come across include poor quality pulley wheels making noises with chain quick links and unrefined ergonomics (they just crudely made the hoods as small as they could without paying attention to shaping).

eRX pricing is getting slashed in China, at least unofficially

I'm now seeing listings in the sub-3.9K RMB range, down from 4.5K retail

XDS will soon come out with the AD500, an eR9 equipped complete bike priced at 7K all-in. The bike itself is pretty garbage (frame, QR fork, integrated cockpit & aero seatpost are all made of alloy...) and the build is just a dressed up AD350 (R7 Hydraulic) but with the eR9 retailing at 3.5K, it really makes you wonder about their margins...

TRP's Hywire brifters meant for Pinion were shown at Eurobike and look the absolute business. Surely they'd make a proper road/gravel groupset too?

Now that's a welcome development. I thought that Microshift as a company was simply coasting on previous successes like the Advent X which was really just a hodgepodge reworking of their older products. Hopefully those Sword brifters get repurposed for road 2x11/12 in the future.

EDIT: I also noticed that the Sword 10s RD shares pull ratios with Advent X 10s and by extension, Advent 9s. Sword brifters paired with this super short cage Advent 9s RD could be an interesting combo.

PSA: Please please please don't buy this groupset if you're price conscious and can't afford to write the purchase off. This is not the product for someone who simply wants something that 'just works' and can't stomach the pain when something goes wrong. The software is barely 1st gen, as is the hardware and everything is subject to change in later revisions/generations. I'm excited in the eRX because the underlying foundation could truly shake up the industry but evidently there is still much to improve.

By the way, zero proper reviews exist on the Chinese side of the internet as everyone there is waiting for someone else to take the risk. Just this week someone posted about aftermarket DM hanger clearance issues. Again, don't be a guinea pig.
