I have the lexon reverse. Have been used it for a year and a half or so. So far so good. There are some minor details I don't like, like how easy is for dirt to make into the bottom bracket area, and yhat the piece that sits in the frame to make the cables enter and exit the frame could have been made better. Also the frame could have better liners so that you don't have to put foamy tubes for the cables not to rattle and be noisy in the frame

But they are all in reality minor issues, non showstoppers. I really like the relaxes upright geometry of the bike (I hate the mew trends of super long reach, short stack and super aggresive head tube angles...). I am overall very happy with it and if it breaks for whatever reason I will most likely buy myself the same one again.

Most 'bike-allowed' forest and mountain paths are perfectly rideable with a gravel bike there. I am eager to have mine rebuilt (a car runover trashed it one year ago).

Grips are normal ESI grips. I had to add two small pieces at the end since they are the standar/short ones. I think ESI made a longer version, but it is hard to fine and expensive.

Same hoses and same olives, yes.

I wonder now ... Would the braking be compatible with shimano mtb postmount calipers? If so one could use the gravel groupset to build quite interesting and cheap monstercross bikes.

What frame/bike is that mirphak? Looks great.

Flyxii FE02, aka Flybike FM616 aka bombtrack ext-c hook 2020 (or was it 2021)? Bought it in Aliexpress for 400 eur before taxes. I have seen it with coupons for about 320€, so quite a bargain.

Still relevant in the sense of the lack of manufacturer instructions / support though. Even the brake bleed instructions video makes absolutely no mention of the free stroke adjustment:



Will be interesting to see how early reviewers go with the stiff paddles + return of the right lever and whether these things have been fixed.

Hi

Paddle stiffness is solved (see tracevelo's video comment section), there's a screw in the ratchet to increase and decrease stiffness. The brake softness is solved with a combination of
closing the huge gap of the pistons by actuating 10-15 times the brakes without rotors and then finely adjusting the freestroke screw (you have to be super careful not to screw it too much or it pops out, it was a 2-3h pain in the ass to put mine back in). I did that to mine and now the brake is super responsive.

 And as I told to Chinacycling and Tracevelo, my paddle returning was never a real issue. Sure it sometimes does not go all the way up, but thst does not block downshifts in my case.

So in summary, levers fine (I think I prefer the clean design of Sensah, but it doesn't bother me to have the side lever), brakes are fantastic, front derrailleur is perfect. Rear derailleur ... So so. I have some issues with my chain (gx eagle) jumping around near the lower pulley when downshifting + going to small chainring at the same time. It sometimes lands at an inclined angle. I have replaced the lower pulley with a narrow-wide profile one (in my opinion, the original should have been like that) and it has definitely improved, but still the shifting is not as crisp as I would like. Maybe with a sram flattop chain or with a chain from other manufacturer. Or maybe with another casette.
