It probably wasn’t a good idea to buy 5 ER9 groupset especially since it seems LTwoo hasn’t ironed out their issues.
I agree very much, but we had 4 bikes to build up day 1 and I bought a spare in case we had one dead on arrival or breaking right at the outset.
At the time of purchase, it was pretty much the only electronic option available, and I definitely have mixed feelings with sensah mechanical, my experience has been very mixed. And routing 4 hoses in the bike instead of 2?... L-TWOO mechanical I didn't like the thumb shift thing. And Shimano/ SRAM were way out of budget.
So we're now paying the price of beta testing.

Yeah. I wonder how high the failure rate with first gen er9 actually is. I guess we’ll never know for sure. Mine’s still fine as well. Did a 2h rainy ride today. Cleaned the bike with a pressure washer after, intentionally blasting on the derailleurs. Works fine.

But I got to admit: If it fails, I’m probably gonna bite the bullet and get 105Di2 or Sram Rival AXS instead.

And the disaster continues. 3rd dead er9 RD. again, randomly and for no reason. Was riding with my friend, who really hasn't used his new bike much, less than ten rides for sure. Dry, 20 Celsius, smooth asphalt, largely flat. 35km into the ride, his RD dies like the other 2. So there's my er9 on which I've put almost 4k km that's working fine (sometimes it charges weird, but at least it's working), and the fifth one isn't being used because the front wheel on that bike broke during a crash and we're still waiting for a replacement.
At which point can I preemptively ask for extra spare RDs? I'm happy to beta test, but we can't be 6 weeks without derailleurs every time one kills itself.

It probably wasn’t a good idea to buy 5 ER9 groupset especially since it seems LTwoo hasn’t ironed out their issues. My ER9 is still working fine, but I’m always checking to see if it’s functioning! I’m already eyeballing some cheap mechanical 105 12 speed shifters or just drop back down to 11 speed with spare Ultegra shifters if my groupset does die!

BTW - LTwoo updated the app, but I don’t see any new features. It looks like they updated it to recognize the upcoming blue edition ERX/9.

I wouldn't say it's not  racy geo.  Depends on your measurements.  Venge is relatively neutral.  If you've got a long upper body it's definitely not ideal though.

Yishun are LightCarbon AFAIK.  So unless these are business only models, you should be able to order them.

But it's possible they may be B2B only.

The 3cm spacer stack must be factored in, it throws off the stack/reach ratio. No way around it.

Looks like there's plenty of clearance for a front fender

My frame has finally arrived! Factory painted, size S. $550 on black Friday. Long delivery due to my problems.
Only quality issues are with the seatposts. But the quality is better in depth.

So, turns out that lip is the limit line for the seatpost.. if you want the seatpost to go in further then you need to cut. I got it out, or i should say my LBS did.

I have to say that I strongly discourage the use of this disc rotor. It completely neglects mechanical simulation and the bracket itself is prone to fracture. Furthermore, the pattern design is a mess, with hollow patterns distributed unevenly on several concentric circles. As a result, the friction rate of the entire disc rotor in the radial direction cannot achieve consistency, leading to the formation of grooves on your brake pads... It's a design that leaves me speechless.

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