Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
I placed the order on Ali for the er9, with the 80$ discount code ( I needed a few other things so I did reach the 500$ order), the er9 came to 350 USD with 80 designer store. Shipped to Canada.

Re: Converting rim brakes wheels to disc brakes
Yup the rim would be compatible. But you might be better off just buying a disc wheelset, unless you're willing to build the wheelset yourself.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Man, I am >< this close to pulling trigger on that $380 ER9 but the imminent launch of upgraded version is stopping me. It's supposed to go on an existing bike (replacing mechanical Ultegra). But then in the comparison video on China cycling it appears that RD, cable port, charging port basically parts that have been reportedly suseptible to water damage are not updated and are same as current ER9/X. They updated FD but from what I read on these pages, the FD isn't really prone to getting the water in.

CFR707 w/ Bar - $650 headset - $15 axles - $26 spacers $5 hangar - $8 shipping to US $190 paint $95 + transaction fees on payment are approx 5% All-in will be over $1k. Not bad but definitely more than I was expecting for an off-brand china frameset. March 21, 2024, 11:42:14 AM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Daer all, I've recently ordered Senicx crankset for a low budget gravel project; from the description or user's reviews I can't understand if the 3 screws for gxp chainring are included or I need to do a dedicated order. Someone with similar crankset found the screws in the box? They are included but even if they are not, it's less than 50c at hardware shop. The size is M5x8mm. I bought a GXP to 5 bolt adapter and it didn't come with those screws and had to get them myself. March 22, 2024, 10:00:40 AM |

Re: LTWOO eGR
I have both ER9 and EGR in the cart. I like how EGR looks compared to ER9. Was planning to install it on VB GF002 which currently has Ultegra 8050 on it but then I realized I use that bike as endurance bike with 35c wheels and very light gravel thrown in where the current 11-34 cassette coupled to 46/36 chainrings work fine. May be I should just get the ER9 and also save a couple of bucks in the process. I think LTwoo shot themselves in the foot with a max 46t limit with the RD. I'd rather just get a mechanical 12 speed 1x GRX 822 RD which gives a 51t cog capacity and is backwards compatible with 11 speed and probably 10 speed. March 22, 2024, 11:14:00 AM |

I think the chain was too short or RD B-screw set in too deep in Luke's video where he has problem shifting 50t cassette. It will *probably* shift 50t cassette with some smart play with B screw and chain length. Though I am hardly ever going to use 50t cassette as the jumps between last 2-3 cogs are just too much for any smooth shifting. What I don't understand is why EGR is more expensive than ER9 considering it does not seem to have any better weatherproofing nor does it have FD. March 22, 2024, 11:51:58 AM |

Re: Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress?
Having used these Kactus disc rotors on my gravel bike on some steeper 15-25% downhill descents, I can now recommend them. Once the brake pad material bedded into the rotors, they have excellent bite. On my gravel bike I replaced a pair of Shimano MT800 disc rotors that always look like crap due to the light grey rotor material. Also having used both the Kactus and Onirii lightweight floating disc rotors, I prefer the Kactus rotors due to more braking surface which I think makes a difference in performance. This store had the rotors for much cheaper, but have recently raised prices probably due to the current sale: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806205553049.html March 22, 2024, 12:00:37 PM |

Re: Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress?
@jonathanf2, @TidyDinosaur how much did you pay for the Kactus rotors and which size did you get?I paid 32 USD (incl EU tax) for the CL 160mm version. 2 pieces for that price. March 23, 2024, 07:51:33 AM |
