I ordered wheeltop groupset because I was tired of waiting for affordable er9 shipping to Canada. I also thought that I would not have to bother placing the battery in the seatpost!

2
I received the wheelset today. 1360 gr for the wave 50 with wing20 spokes and 23/30 width. Wheels look great. Everything seems to be top quality. For now the biggest advantage was the communication. The best I have ever had with buying parts from AliExpress. He even  did a follow up when I clicked the order as received.

Can't wait to try them on the road in Canada!

Hi, let me know when you have the handlebars in your hands, I need to ask you some questions.
Thanks

Well the seller cancelled the order. I ordered the balugoe one

Anyone tried to fit a mechanical yet? I either buy LTwoo r9 now or wait for er9 to be back in stock with 80 designer store on Ali. I live in Canada and they are the only store shipping to us with reasonable price.

6
I spoke tu 80 designer store and he said he will have stock again for er9 in April. I am also in Canada and want to buy a v3 er9. If anyone has lead to buy one at a good price...

This handlebar looks the same as the Kocevlo you posted.... ::)

Yes it seems to be the exact same. I ended up buying the SL8 copy from elita one. They sent pictures of the headset covers and one of them is round. It should fit the r088.

Maybe the elita integrated that looks like a roval copy.
No personal experience but looks good.

If someone bought that bar, I would appreciate if pictures of the headset covers can be sent here. I am trying to confirm if it will fit a frame with round fitting on the frame.

I don't want to be wrong, but in my opinion you can mount any handlebar on R088, even the SL8 one....but probably not the original headset cover.

I am pretty sure that the headset cover that comes with the handlebar needs to be round. It's also the part that attaches to the stem spacers

The elita one sl8 on Ali seems to be coming with 2 different covers. I am waiting for better pictures from the seller.

So it seems that a SL8 handlebar won't do on the frame since they come with shaped headset cover. We absolutely need round headset cover with our frames (like the one that comes with kocevlo). Is that correct?

11
I saw the Tmaex brand on ali. Seems to be similar to kocevlo, but 6 degrees instead of 10. Anyone running that?

12
Besides the slightly different head tube design, it's practically the same thing as the other SL8 clones with some added features and less weight. At the current sale price + coupons it's practically a no brainer. Unless someone really want a fake SL8 bike!  ;D

Thank you for the reply.So I guess the below bar would fit?

I was hesitating between this and the TT x68, but will most likely go with r088 because of the current sale on Ali. Any recommendations of integrated Bars from Ali as well? Other than hb-05.

14
That's mostly why I did it that way. Also b/c wheeltop has a rep of being difficult to set up, figured it come to me most or all of the way there.

So you bought a complete bike, but with wheeltop & different wheels? If that's the case, Can you share what wheels you got from them & final price ?

15
I just sent them an email to see how customizable the full bike kit is. Mainly to see if they can build it with v3.0 er9 and what kind of crank that would include.
I am a bit concerned with the wheelset included. Quality I'm general and maybe too stiff with carbon spokes... Anyone here with experience with that wheelset?

I also asked if it could be a different color.
