Vendor Discussion & Reviews / Re: Elite Wheels Shipping
« on: July 12, 2024, 03:59:27 PM »I ordered the parts for a gravel build beginning of June. All the parts (from multiple sellers on AliExpress) arrived within a couple of weeks (to the UK). The slowest bits came via the Netherlands (inclunding the frame, the other "big" part).
I order a set of SLR gravel wheels on June 1st. They arrived today. Far far longer than the time it takes everything else on AliExpress to get to Canada but the wheels weren't built until I ordered then and they were always responsive to my concerns. I'm OK with that.
The wheels (ordered from EliteWheels), however, are still showing as in transit from China to the Netherlands, and have been since 18th June. I've contacted Elite via message a couple of times, and they say it's "normal" for 25 to 35 days shipping time.
Do EliteWheels use a remarkably different shipping method to anyone else on AliExpress? it's notable that their order does not have a Delivery Guarentee, just a shipping one. Ironaically I thought they were the going to be the most reliable seller, as they are one of the bigger names I was buying from.

Check the battery contacts and the contacts on the derailleur for any signs of oxidation (corrosion). Clean the contacts if necessary. Try charging the battery using a wall charger independently of the derailleur.
Here is the video on how to remove battery and prevent water ingress youtube.com/watch?v=-k5TzYEYwJg turn on subtitles auto translation.
In the attachments there is a video with a similar problem, do you have the same flashing?
And check this topic https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4614.315.html
That's actually what the seller told me to check. There was a bit of moisture and rust inside. Cleaning it all up didn't fix it. The seller has now asked if they can send me a new one.

« on: July 04, 2024, 04:12:51 PM »Magene are now saying that the P505 won't work with a T47 (or BB386 evo) bottom bracket.
Does anybody know why? Has anyone tried it? I'm hoping to use one with a T47 BB on a gravel bike (1X).
I've got one on my Trek Domane with a Praxis internal T47 BB. There was some frame contact so I put a very thin spacer in and it's been fine. What don't like so much is that the bearing is more exposed than I'd like.

On the positive side, I asked the AliExpress vendor I bought it from, (Rockbros Gobike store) if they could suggest anything. They asked me to send a video so they could offer the best solution. Better than nothing

I've got one jersey from them, this one. Sizing is like Spexcelor any European brand, one size up from what you would normally wear. Mine is 3 years old and still in rotation so I guess that says something about quality.

I'm glad I found this site, it looks like the place to hopefully get some help with the issue without kneejerk responses.
I installed Hydraulic EDS TX on my bike 2 months ago, it was a bit finicky to set up but it's been perfect since then. Until yesterday. My rear derailleur has lost its mind. It no longer shifts and sometimes disconnects from the app before I can even get to the debugging menu. The red charging light was flashing for hours yesterday and is on today without the charging cable connected. I believe everything is paired because all 4 components show up in the App and because I re-paired everything just in case. In the App it says it's in a different gear nearly everytime I look at it.
I'm kind of freaking out and after describing it I'm not feeling very hopeful. The manual is not helpful for any of this so I'm hoping someone might be able to offer some guidance. Is there a way to reset it completely? If it's not something I can fix myself does anyone know the best way to contact Wheeltop, I think I saw somewhere they have a Canadian office or distributor? I haven't looked yet but hopefully you can buy individual components now.
Thanks for any help you can offer. I guess it's always a bit of a gamble buying from AliExpress but in the end I know given how much stuff I buy I'm still way ahead.
