Re: LTWOO RX hydro sets
Hello. Looking for some advice for setting up RX rear derailleur. I recently built a bike with ltwoo rx groupset and I can't get it to shift at even somewhat acceptable level. Im using shimano 105 12sp cassette and a kmc chain with it. The shifting is ok from the middle of the block to the largest cog but on the smaller cogs, especially 4 smallest ones it's just total crap in both directions. You have to perform 2 shifts in order for chain to move. Sometmes it starts grinding with a single shift, sometimes not, sometimes it shifts(moving to larger cog seems a bit easier). I can get it to shift ok in one direction by adjusting the cable tension but then it stops working on a larger cogs. Derailleur hanger is straight. I have a full internal cable routing with probably doesn't make shifting better but i tried moving the cable by hand and theres barely any resistance in the housing. I tried using grx rx400 derailleur for test which should be compatible and it also shifted like crap. Would appreciate any suggestions, I'm at the point of giving up and buying a 105 groupset instead. ok, so an update on my problem that might be helpful for people having similar problems. I've been playing around with it for a while, trying different cables, oiling cables, and playing with adjustments. It was shifting somewhat acceptable. still really sluggish on the smaller sprockets especially when shifting into a larger sprocket. What did the trick for me in the end was swapping the guide pulley for a larger 12T narrow-wide one. The shifting is perfect now, very fast and precise.

Re: WheelTop EDX OS Series Wireless MTB Drivetrain
My OX system is coming up on 18 months old. It has been nearly flawless in its performance and has around 700 miles on it. Only real exception is; I pulled the MTB off the wall a couple weeks ago and went for a ride and right from the start of the ride it didn't want to shift down the cassette correctly. One click, nothing. Second click; boom, down two cogs. Shifts up the cassette were fine. It had been working just fine the last ride I had done on the bike. I fiddled with the digital adjustments, checked the cassette and endcaps for tightness. Adjusted travel end points. Got out the laser and even swapped chains and chain lengths then slapped a brand new chain on the bike. I got out my derailleur hanger alignment tool and checked that as well. Nothing seemed to alleviate the issue. Then I fiddled with the B screw. *poof* instantly fixed. No idea how or why my B screw would have gotten out of adjustment but bringing it "in" about 1.5 turns made everything run smoothly. Added Bonus; In my searching for a solution, I came across a couple of posts on the WheelTop Facebook group about someone backdooring the system and giving adventurous users more potential adjustments and a high speed/race mode for shift speeds. The fast shifting is IMPRESSIVE to say the least. Where originally the shifts were *fine* about the same speed as my original mechanical SRAM GX system when dialed in just right, now the shifts are downright seamless and as fast as anything I can recall seeing. I ran the backdoor from my PC but it apparently can run on some phones or mobile browsers as well.
