Given the prince difference between my rotors and what Shimano charges though, there would have to be quite literally a magical difference in performance for me to try Shimano ones.

Ah, The "prince difference" is what matters, his metal version of rotors obviously are not "prince worthy", and sold only to us commoners.

I have a brand new pair I haven't used yer.  Instead, I am using several other brands of  "floating" rotors with aluminum center and steel outer disc.

2 days ago, I swapped out my crank set that uses 50 - 34 chainrings to a new set of cranks with 48-32 chainrings.   I shortened my chain my a link, lowered the front derailleur then performed a new calibration on the app for the front derailleur.   Now that I am very familiar with using the WheelTop app, this process went very smoothly.  I had to re-tune 4 of the rear cogs.   Took the bike out for a 17 mile, 1,500 feet of climbing test ride.   I am becoming used to the shifters and had no "human error" mis shifts.   

The more I ride the EDS TX, the more I like it.  (After about 220 miles on the new kit, plus the shifting during my latest tuning, the front derailleur says 77%, rear derailleur is at 71% battery charge.)

"Planet Cyclery" is going out of business/closing its doors.   (I presume they are another online retailer that didn't manage the past few years very well)

I spent about a 1/2 hour looking at all of their sale prices.  From my perspective, their "sale prices" are still to expensive compared to the deals I get on a regular basis through Aliexpress.

Venting again.   It appears that Aliexpress has changed their shipping details.  I used to see my order's shipping progress all the way to when the item was delivered. Now I see Aliexpress tracking my items until they they depart customs, then they list a shipping number.  I plug these numbers into USPS tracking, and 1/2 the time USPS says the number is not valid, the other half it says the number is registered in the system, but no information is available.  For the past month, all my orders shipping progress is no longer visible or available.

Today,  my wife received 4 notifications from USPS that items are out for delivery.  I input these numbers into USPS tracking and there is no shipping details available. then I was able to match up these numbers with Aliexpress shipping numbers, and it appears that these are 4 of my ordered items.   

On top of this, I ordered a Flyweight carbon rim, on March 18th, that had guaranteed 12 day delivery.  A month+ has passed. I asked the seller if they could tell me where the rim is.  Their answer was: "It has been shipped.  Be patient".   The only tracking information I have is that it shipped April 1st. No tracking number listed.  I filed for a refund and the seller has rejected the claim stating the item has been shipped.   Now I have to wait the complete period of time before Aliexpress will approve the refund and admit that the item is lost.   

To add insult, In the past 6 weeks, I had 5 orders that went past the guaranteed delivery, and I was supposedly given the "One Dollar off" coupons.  Aliexpress lists me as receiving the coupons, but when I've tried to use them, nothing happens and my app locks up.  After about 2 weeks, I can no longer find them.   Something is messed up with their software, or they have figured out a way to not let me use the one dollar off coupons.

EDIT:  May 1st - Aliexpress closed my order for the Fiberin Flyweight and started the refund process.  I have one of these rims and like it. I wanted another but  no longer trust the Fiberlin store because of their lack of communication and that they never provided me with a good tracking number.  Makes me wonder if they ever actually shipped the order.

I am just under 200 miles on my EDS TX installation.  To date, the system has worked really well other than taking some time to get used to the RH shift paddles.  As the shifting becomes more natural, I am making fewer and fewer mis-shifts.
My EDS TX is installed on my gravel bike. Each of my rides typically has 2500+ ft of climbing for every 20 miles ridden.  These rides are shift intensive, so if I am going to have any problems, they will show up sooner than later. 

So far....  Thumbs up!

OTOH, I have about 1500 miles on my EDS OX (1X 12) bike-packing hardtail without any issues over the past 9 months.  I have less than 100 miles each on the EDs OX hardtail and FS bike.   This past weekend, my Full suspension bike really took a beating over 2 days of riding, and the OX rear derailleur worked flawlessly.

I definitely give a thumbs up for the EDS OX kit.

I personally don't like the work "Cheap" to describe a carbon frame.   Perhaps you should change the title to "Best Value Ultralight Hardtail Carbon Frame.   Cheap, to me, implies low cost, often low quality, and having less value.
