Re: LTWOO eGR

I will try to ask them. Usually, I can contact them directly through platforms like Taobao or WeChat, without the need for emails. However, based on the feedback I received from secondary distributors in the past, the new versions of the EGR did not improve the waterproofing performance. In special cases, it is necessary to disassemble the rear derailleur and manually apply some waterproof sealant. But such an operation may result in the loss of warranty eligibility.

Based on the experiences of my friends, they had to wait until the rear derailleur got water inside and caused issues before contacting Ltwoo for repairs or part replacements (mainly due to water ingress in the rear derailleur). This process can be frustrating, and this issue may not necessarily occur in every kit. I am inclined to believe it could be a quality control problem. Moreover, purchasing Ltwoo from outside China would incur higher post-purchase costs, both in terms of money and time.

However, there have been some software improvements for the EGR, such as enhanced logic for situations like stationary shifting and accidental button presses. As for hardware improvements, there is currently no information available.

China does have similar forums, but we are not exactly like BBS forums. We are more like Reddit, with channels categorized based on discussion topics, and the discussions tend to be more basic. For more specialized discussions, we usually rely on WeChat group chats, which are more closed-off but allow for deeper conversations.

Interesting (and unfortunate) news on the water resistance. Do we have any idea where the ingress is? I was planning on using dielectric grease in the ports to help ensure that isn't the ingress. But I wouldn't want to have to rip apart a new one to coat it with that or conformal coating.

Re: LTWOO eGR Ok, I said I'd be back with some info once I got it built. It's preliminary as I only have one ride on it so far, but you can read it here

What size chainring were you using with the 10-50t? Did you do any preventative measures against water ingress?

I’ve been running a 32 but had previously tried 34 and 30 in the previous setup. All worked but the 32 was the “Goldilocks” size for me.

I did use dialectric grease on the connectors. I’d didn’t see any other obvious places to protect.

Re: LTWOO eGR The thread may be that old, but my experience is fresher than that  ;)   I've had it out for another ride now. So far so good. I think I'm hearing slight noise sometimes on some gears like it may not be aligned correctly. So I might to go micro adjust better or I might go back to zero and do it per instructions (I micro adjusted first like an idiot). But functionally it's good. It's hard to directly compare the 'feel' to my AXS bike because that one is a 2x with a road cassette so each click is a smaller, smoother change. On the giant 1x cassette, some steps are a bit rougher by their nature. But I think it's pretty comparable. And definitely more responsive and reliable shifts than the modified, cable-actuated Force 1 on there before. I have no hesitation clicking up or down one to 'feel' right where there was enough faffing before I often just didn't.

What firmware is everyone's unit currently on?

Mine is currently at v1.0.1 and has been ever since I received it. Has anyone received any firmware updates?

Same here. I'm hoping that is a sign of stability not...

My plan is to build something similar in capability to a Canyon Grizl...50mm+ tyre clearance (ideally MTB wheels), and (assuming I get on with the eR9) I'll probably plump for the eGR 1x12 (which I believe limits me to a 46-tooth rear)....

I just put eGR on my Cutthroat where I'm running a 10-50 11s and an 11-50 11s (2 wheelsets one HG on XD) Garbaruk cassette. In that application, I was able to run the full cassette and it shifts well and the chain isn't slack nor overly tight. So, I'd say that much like a lot of Shimano RDs, it is capable of going past the rating. Your mileage may vary, I can't promise anything. My derailleur hanger may put it in a slightly different position to another. But I thought I'd share since there isn't a lot of info on this groupset.

You can see it here:   This was the 10-50 and a 32 in front

You can read more about what I've learned here: https://trbike.blogspot.com/2024/05/ltwoo-egr-results-writeup.html

I still only have three rides on it, but so far so good.

Yes, same here. Frankly, I've got no issues that I think need to be addressed via firmware. It would be nice if they found something neat to do with those extra 2 buttons on the left brifter (maybe some novel shifting modes, or maybe a way to do data screen stuff on a gps unit, etc).

Yeah, I want them to let use use the left side buttons. Ideally assign at will.  But I see no reason not to simply allow both sides to be live. Personally, I'd like to be able to set them 'SRAM style' (up on one side, down on the other). I got feedback from LTWOO suggesting that they might do something. But no commitment.
