If you are buying the EDS TX drivetrain, I will advise buying a set of silicone shifter-end tip caps. The shifters arc outwards so the chances of getting it scraped is higher. Those inexpensive Aliexpress Shifter end caps will save you some grief when parking or if the bike tilt over at some point.

I looked at the replies on wheeltop page and somebody actually successfuly tested it with a 55t chainring and 42t cassete which is honestly really awesome to see. Now if only they had satellite/sprint shifters...

They officially replied me that it supported up to 53T and I also pointed that they need to update the website or stand to lose more sales from this error. Good to know there are real use cases to debunk the fear.

Update: They have confirmed that 54T can be supported based on dealer update and user feedbacks. At least they are listening and have also accepted my recommendation to update their website. Happy days ahead.

Thx for the vid, good to know it's not slop at least. Got a couple questions.

How far forward can the pulley arm bend? All footage I've seen has it still pointing pretty downward when in big-big, normally you'd expect it to be a bit closer to level. Looks that this would require a longer chain than usual as well.

Is it possible to use a front chainring that is bigger than 50t? The official specs say 50 max. I'd hope that's just a conservative estimation and that it is mechanically possible to fit at least a 54t.

Its illogical to create a new technological product and be limited mechanically. I have sent WheelTop an enquiry to get this sorted out.

Hey Team,

Sorry I am currently will with COVID from unknown source grrr~!

The batteries are definitely replaceable but like everyone, we need to find a source else its back to manufacturer WheelTop. The battery is screwed against the derailleurs so some work is needed to have them removed.

I have seen the Aliexpress link selling the EDS TX online. They seem to deliver to many states but I cannot tell if all are there since I am a "Singaporean", Senator Tom.

BTW, first ride month review is out but done while I am ill.. so forgive me on the quality as I can barely talk with a sore toad throat.


Not sure if you can see my video link clearly but search for Taicho Cyclist Channel and you can see the video if the hyperlink in my post is somehow blocked.

Do you have auto trimming on the FD? I see it is moving a little when you go up and down on the cog.

Seems like it but not sure if this in anyway may infringe Shimano's patent but no issues with shifting in casual mode.

However in casual mode, the system seems to auto prevent shifting last 2 gears on either sides of the chainring to prevent cross-chaining; ie. Lager ring cannot last 2 biggest gears while small ring cannot use the front 2 smallest.
There is a Racing Mode which I believe shifts faster without the gear lock. That will also use up more power so more tests shall reveal it all.

A quick video of my new TIME Alpe d'Huez 2023 built with the WheelTop EDS TX transmission groupset. Full review after a few rides and tests later.

Well the Shimano weights are for references anyway but you have highlighted a very good point, thank you!

I just unboxed my EDS TX... build to follow...
