I've been active on the weight weenies build thread! Completed my build a couple months ago, it's been great!

I'm planning to give my LTwoo R9 hydro shifters another try, especially since I received a pair of ZRace XG brake calipers that are surprisingly small/light.
Interested to hear your experience with the QED P325...
Sorry my bad, had the wrong link... however including RX crankset it is maybe 25 US$ more expensive.

I just became aware of the counterfeit eeBrakes and eeWings available on AliExpress. Reports on the brakes are mostly positive. Has anyone tried, or heard of anyone trying the eeWings cranks?

You don't even open the bleed nut on the caliper? Is this suitable when you might need to top up some oil? You just open the shifter bleed port, screw the funnel, put some mineral oil and squeeze for a while?
I'm probably going to do my first bleed next week on my new build and every video is different. GCN and RoJ's seem the easiest/most intuitive
I'll think about it. Part of me is just lazy to bleed the brakes, hence why I haven't done the install yet!
Ah, sorry for the confusion, IIRC right in Trace Velo video it was noted that one of piwces under the levers were made out of plastic and he was concerned that it may break during shifting under load.
Do their rim brake shifters still have plastic arms + internals as seen in Trace Velo video? How is the shifting? Debating between Sensah Team Pro and Ltwoo R9 shifters

They're finally selling the Ltwoo shifters w/ ZRace hydraulic calipers without the derailleurs. Prices are still a bit high since the full groupset was selling for about $200 alloy and $260 carbon at the last Anniversary sale. Hopefully for the next AliEx sale they should sell for much less. 12 speed still seems to be selling for quite more.
I've seen an MBR video where they show how they did hit the frame/derailleur many times.And talk about a race Nino Shurter crashed on that side, but was able to continue the race without the need to straighten the hanger.
I bought this calipers this week. If they look good I'll swap out my ltwoo brakes.
Nothing performance wrong with the ltwoo. I just don't like how much they weight and look. Everyone weighs the ltwoo without brackets which is wrong. With flat mount calipers you can mount without brackets but ltwoo you must use brackets.
I also wish they'd start selling the hydraulic components separately, I don't really need the derailleurs. Ltwoo stuff works with the Shimano 11/12 speed pull ratio.
