Wow, thanks for coming through! I'm going to have to download this and save it for when I order another cage. I'll just share this picture and tell them I need "these parts" and maybe ask for the newer ones (hopefully that won't get lost in translation).

I tried doing this by taking a picture of my RD and circling the cage to ask for the parts, but for some reason they misunderstood and only sent me 1 side of the cage. Oh well, I guess it was better than no support at all.

Would you mind showing a pic of what you received? I ordered a replacement cage and only received one piece.

Back in March I ordered eGR groupset from a shop called 318bike store, a name I haven't seen mentioned here. Anyway, nearly a month later and 25 days of it sitting in customs it was finally delivered thru UPS today.
I didn't realize from photos the box would be so big. Connected the bits and things look okay on the first look. I paid $370 after coupons. Not the cheapest but it's going on an old Chiner bike that deserves some love after excellent service for 3 years.

I'm disappointed with the battery holder. It's extremely cheap and weak. Comparatively other components are solid.

Now I have a question. Has anyone reused hydraulic hoses? I don't want to go through the hassle of routing hoses all again. I'm thinking of removing the current shifters and calipers, keep the hoses in place, and install eGR shifter + calipers. The hoses are not old. I'm just lazy to go thru terrible internal routing process.

I can't see anything and I've looked at them side by side.

What I have noticed is that it works with my 10-50 WAY better. (Yes, I know I was running it out of spec). I haven't had it on the road yet but what I've noticed is:

• Almost no B screw tension to put it in position on a 50t. With V1, it needed nearly full extension
• On the stand, shifting at the bigger cogs seems crisper
• The initial calibration point is WAY off. But it was on the V1 as well. The position for gear 1 lines up about the 5th cog.  Easy enough to fix with the initial calibration but it makes one think it's messed up at first. Once calibrated, no micro adjustment needed on a Garbuaruk 11s

We'll see on the road tomorrow I hope.

Yep! Exactly right. Again, we're using it out of spec and it still works (mostly) fine, but with the extra space required on the b-screw it's not as snappy and responsive to shift as it was before.

On a happy note, 80's Designer store seems to have agreed to sell me replacement "wheel guides and wheel", so I'll soon find out if that's the part I think it is. I shared the same image where I circled the lower parts and that's what they replied back with. I'll update when I receive them. Whether it works or not, it's another example of 80s Designer Store being the #1 best store to buy this groupset from, as their response has been fast and I'm really happy they are willing and able to sell replacement parts for it.

Edit: (added picture provided by 80s Designer Store showing what they are providing)

Interestingly here in OZ you can get a SRAM mullet upgrade kit (Force shifters, Eagle derailleur and Force brakes) for the same price as the Wheeltop.  Yes the Sram requires XD hub and Cassette to get the 10-52t.  However, it enables a bigger spread of gearing, bought locally with Sram quality and support.

Makes for a tough choice.

Someone mentioned the wheeltop ability to tune individual gears/sprockets.  I see the benefit of this, but I can imagine that once you start you never stop tinkering until it drives you made, whereas the Sram should 'just work' out of the box.

I'm interested in the Wheeltop, very interested, but I would have expected 33% cheaper than Sram electronic.  I have an Xcadey power meter and top end Chinese wheels, both are great, the companies are great, but when things go wrong it still takes 2-4 weeks to xchange info and actually get any new parts from the time I raise an issue..... not necessarily the fault of the company but the geographical and communication logistics. I'm not complaining here because the products were somewhat cheaper than local mainstream alternatives...... and this is without talking about going into a local bike shop for help, and the look they will give you when they realise you have an unknown groupset for which nobody has been trained or carries parts.

All food for thought, I was super excited for the Wheeltop groupset, but the price has put a damper on that excitement.
