Does anyone know of a high quality silicone grip similar to an ESI Extra Chunky?

You said, “I haven’t installed the groupset on my bike yet.”  I’ m a bit confused by this if you’re having problems.  Can you clarify?

For me, running 11spd, on initial set up/calibration you set the RD to the smallest cog (with or without the chain).  Once that is done you visually align the jockey wheels with the smallest cog using the limit screws.  Test the shifting and ensure the limit screw doesn’t allow for an overshift. From there you should be able cycle through the cog and set the high limit. Theoretically, it should work all just fine but you can adjust specific cog through the fine tuning feature.

FWIW, I’m still putting the miles/kms on my EDS to determine its reliability.  So far, I like it.  No issues with being stuck in a gear.

LMAO did u just compare GIANT to some company selling OEM frames under their branding? Kek

I vividly recall a time when Giant was just a new upstart brand selling cheap bikes.

Back then my friend even sniggered "what kind of a name is Giant"

Hi,

I have a question for the current owners of this groupset.

I haven't installed the groupset on my bike yet, but I would like to know if your rear derailleur (RD) was stuck on the 3rd gear when you initially set it up.

Here's my issue:
- I can't shift to the first or second gear when I am on the biggest chainring.
- I can shift to any gear when I am on the smallest chainring.

For context, I am configuring the groupset to work with a 12-speed cassette.

I saw that a similar issue was addressed in a previous post, but I wanted to know if it is normal to have this problem if the groupset is not installed on a bike.

Cheers

Just a heads up with the ER9. I found if shifting maybe 3-4 gears without pedaling, you can derail the chain and jam it on the RD cage. I also ended up scruffing up the inner cage plate. I'm way too OCD, so I removed it, sanded it down and repainted the cage matte black with some paint primer.

It does make me wish there were some optional cage replacements in case of major damage.

Thoughts on shifter forward play?  For me, It would have been nice if that movement wasn't there but not a deal breaker.

Both my Ultegra and LTwoo ER9 levers do that. If you adjust your lever reach, there will be slight play. Not really a big deal.

My eGR kit just showed up and I'm getting ready to configure. I ran into a question:

Is there a way to configure the shifters so that one can use BOTH sides at the same time?

I found that the app lets me change whether to use the right OR the left shifters to control the RD but see no setting to use both. On a side note, I find it hilarious that the app insists that the other one will be controlling the front derailleur which doesn't exist today on the eGR AND can't be powered with the eGR battery pack (the second power port is blank)

I never even noticed that the brake levers can be moved forward.  Non issue to me.  The levers are always where they need to be when I brake and shift.
