Couldn't have said it better

92
I can't find them at all on ali, only under the elilee brand at double the price. They look great though, what chainrings are you pairing them up with?

93
Correct! Are we neighbours?
Not quite. From jura canton but have visited a few times and will take another vacation nearby in about a month

Found a guy on chinese forums who made his own powermeter at home

Also learned today they REALLY don't like the brand rockbros there and have some pretty creative insults and threats towards them

95
How much did you pay and where did you find them?

96
Yes I remember seeing that video back then.  ;D That's the road up the marchairuz right?

97
"Facteur tcheu" is hilarious, did you paint that yourself? How many bikes have you built Serge? Do you run a shop?

He suggests that wheeltop might have bought(?) the patent licenses from shimano for auto-trim, flatmount brake caliper, and I think also the battery LED indicator that ltwoo had to cover (ridiculous!). I hope that is not the reason for the "steep"(er) price.

Where did you buy hangar extender?
They come "free" when you order 11-50 cassettes on ali more often than not

Issue for me would be that batteries eventually die which would render the whole derailleur useless. I'm surprised nobody has used something like a 18650 cylinder battery. Slap a waterproof case in the down tube and put a charge port on the derailleur. Battery (or batteries) die, you go grab another one on Amazon or whatever. This is a deal breaker for me
This is exactly what LTWOO does?

Anyone tried the Magene TPU tubes? https://www.magene.com/en/exar/65-exar-tube-700c-ultralight-tpu-inner-tube.html

This guy, and I think GPLama had them too. Price seems a bit outrageous for what it is

Certainly interesting, I've been on the 630 for a month and very happy with it, I consider it a straight upgrade in every way to the garmin 530 (except maybe the third party integrations but the app really isn't that bad). I trust them to beat the 1040 but magene is about to drop their own touchscreen computer for $160 so I would have hoped it was a little cheaper than $350.
I can't remember the last time I was excited for a western release, but between TPU tubes, DTSwiss clone hubs, hydraulic and then electronic groupsets and higher end bike computers, I feel spoiled.

I wonder if it would sync up with Wheeltop EDS OX and TX electric derailleurs.

They sync with LTWOO eRX already, no doubt they would sync with wheeltop

From monitoring the weightweenies thread with tons of experience it seems cyclami is rated a bit lower due to more frequent leaks and bad valve cores. I've barely ridden my ridenow in disc wheels but I just put the $2.50 thinkrider tubes this season on my rim brake bike and so far so good, even after potholes where I might have punctured with butyl. And I live in a very hilly area, 150km/3600m last week

What about the Sigeyi Axo and their rebranded Fovno Aurora Pro?

https://www.sigeyishop.com/product-category/power-meter-crankset/
that's still $460 before shipping and over 700g (estimate, no weight on the rings) and not compatible with R7150 front mech (why?)
I'm all for trying out exotic gear but when trusty 105 (which you can trust, only ultegra and DA had issues) with a western brand powermeter comes out cheaper and lighter, it sounds like a pretty bad deal with those prices

Riro carbon cranks and a P505 powermeter?
didn't think gxp cranks were compatible with any spider PM but looks like i'd be looking at 530€ minimum even with current sales, and just under 700g. of course i'd like to upgrade to spider from left crank but i'm not willing to pay double the price just for that. 105 with 4iiii is 720g and 330€ right now without any special sales,
