looks like prices are starting to drop on these
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005637952302.html seems like a bargain

One a Whim, I just purchased 2 of them.   I really can't see how or why WheelTop would change their internal derailleur programming to only work with a SRAM Cassette.  In order for the limit set screw adjustments for the low/high gear/cog to work properly, they still would need to be able to fine tune the derailleur cage position relative to the highest gear on the cassette. 
Perhaps the store selling this combo doesn't know or want to advertise the phone app that will let you adjust all of the features that the derailleur offers.

How would the derailleur even know you're using a SRAM cassette? It's just an HG hub cassette with a 12 speed 11-50t cassette.

I'm almost tempted to buy this for a flat bar gravel setup!

$273.59usd is pretty damn cheap considering the GX is $600+

I can't actually see what this link has - just goes to a blank page (not even Alix homepage). When I do "Wheeltop EDX" search I get random derailleur search results like Deore and L-Twoo, nothing remotely close to Wheeltop. Anyone with same issue?

Has anyone seen the dropbar version pop up yet?  I've only seen the coming soon on their website.

It was shown at the shanghai bike show with mediocre reviews, but it's definitely not out

Yeah, it looked like a pricing error when I first saw it....

I ordered 2 the other day and they are already on their way to me.   ;D

I influenced 2 other friends to order a set each.  Therefore I caused 4 of the orders, when their stock count was a 10 units.

Anyone else order a set on this forum?

I do, ordered one. I never tried AXS nor Wireless system before, but this price tag is just hard to resist.

Ayway, anyone know how I can find the APK for Android APP? I couldn't find one in Playstore

Tijoe

They hide the links to the apps fairly well.  A few of the stores on Aliexpress posted them in the past.
(I still have not been able to get the Android version of their app to work for in the US.   I wrote Wheeltop weeks ago, when a "working version for the US" will be available and they never got back to me.)

I set up an account, but when I put in my login, it slams by location to Canada, then my login doesn't work.  OTOH, on my wife's Apple phone I was able to login and use the app.


ALPPE IOS APP:http://121.196.97.253/api/app/others/app/download?packageName=com.wheeltop.ride

Sweet thanks Tijoe


I also hard to believe that they will make dedicated S/W to restricted use for just 10 sets

But I bent my rear wheel, so need to wait for awhile to try
