IF you want to go ahead with a wide-range rear cassette and/or "clutch" like on the eGR RD, I think that's probably the way to do it.

What you need to do it is the dual-port battery that comes with the road group. The eGR version only has a single port to power the RD. Getting the road set would include that and the shifters/brakes. And then you need the eGR or MTB RD. Supposedly LTWOO will support pairing across product lines. Confirmation on that seems thin though. If I get a chance at Sea Otter I'll try to remember to ask someone.

Can you provide more info on the MTB electric RD?

No, they're similar to Shimano using something similar to the shadow derailleur hanger design. I tried setting up a Shimano direct mount hanger on my UDH bike and the LTwoo RD wouldn't fit on a Shimano specific DM hanger. It's slightly different.

So just have attach it to the hanger directly? Does that work fine?

Hello,

Can you recommend a frame plug for a front derailleur hole? Do you even plug it somehow?

If waiting is an option, the new Ltwoo eGR version is supposed to have a larger max cassette capacity. Also, their new MTB derailleur looks interesting, especially since it seems it likely pairs with their road and gravel brifters.

Thanks, I think I will wait for now, 80 Desinger store answered me and said that the new eGR will be available in the end of the month.
I have one more question, Wheeltop has a specific interface with UDH hangers, does LTWOO have something similar?

I thought about it, and I think now is the time to go for a 1by setup. I will buy a PG-1230 11-50 cassette and a 40t front chainring.
But now I'm torn between wheeltop and ltwoo. Ltwoo would be better for my smaller hands and more adjustable for sure, I like the changeable battery. Does the braking feels like Shimano with Ltwoo as well? I like that.
Wheeltop on the other hand surely supports up to 52t big cog. And there is Ltwoo wierd adapters, I have a Rockshow rudy fork, so I hope that a back adapter should be fine with the front caliper for 180 mm rotor, just like shimano (SMMAR160DDA)
What do you think?

I have wrote to the official LTWOO support, they said that eGR does not support a FD, Tracevelo said that the brain of the operation is the RD, but I don't think that the inside electronics are so different than the eRX. I might try to ask him to test this, he has every LTWOO electronic groupsets.

Why do you think that it would be better to buy an eRX groupset and an eGR RD? Apart from that, that I would surely have a working 2by system, but I would like to have the eGR brifters, they might be better optimized for gravel.

Thanks! That would be great if someone could verify that this actually works

I'm not sure 2x shifting would be great using the eGR. As an experiment, I mounted a 2x 46-30t chainring on my eGR gravel bike and manually shifted the chain on each chainring. What I found is that you're forced to put more cage/cog distance using the B screw. It results in less than ideal shifting especially at the high gears. I guess there are other hacks to get better range, but it just gets overly complicated.

I have 46/33 front and only 11-36 on the back currently, I might need 40-42 tops, so that would work I think even better with the slightly longer cage of the newer version

I'm not sure how well a second battery holder will work out, since the battery holder is meant to be stored in the seat post. I can't imagine two battery holders could ever fit, so where would you keep the second one and how would you affix it?

[/quote]

I meant a battery holder for eRX, since the eGR battery holder has just on outlet, an I need one for the FD as well, so I would use only 1 battery just not the original one.

What is the difference between the eR9 and eGR brifters?

Hello,
I've recently bought a TanTan GR201, and looking for an electronic gravel groupset with front shifting as well.
I know that currently Wheeltop GEX is out of the question, because that surely doesn't support front derailleur.
So here I am with LTWOO eGR, I know I have to buy a separate battery holder with the groupset, so it will have a second connector for the FD. Has anyone tried that it actually works that way?
I have read here that 80 designer store is a great shop, so I would like to buy from there, but as far as I can tell currently there is no listing for a eGR groupset. Are there any shops apart from Aliexpress that will ship me these parts to the EU (Hungary)?
