WheelTop EDS TX Full Wireless Groupset (Chinese SRAM)

[raisinberry777]

New firmware updates for all parts today. There's also mention of a v2 app that allows fine tuning of the position for each derailleur (hopefully that means live fine-tuning, as that's probably the biggest setup issue with the groupset currently). The v2 app doesn't seem to be available yet but I will do the firmware updates once it is.

EDIT: Did all the updates. Right shifter firmware reset the settings on it (so you'll have to configure buttons again). The new app is available and FINALLY ALLOWS FOR LIVE FINE-TUNING!!! Better late than never. Shifter firmware updates apparently now increase battery life, and the RD ANT+ profile has been updated related to the battery settings - hopefully that now means it shows low battery at a lower battery percentage (rather than the 50% it was before).

I haven't received any updates for the Wheeltop app on iOS, nor do I see any new ones available. The new version of the app you mentioned, V2, isn't showing up as updated. Is it only for Android, or does it have a different name?

I'll try updating both the EDS TX and GEX later.

It's not in the Play Store yet, but the author of the third party DrEDS app has made it available on his website here:

Thanks. Live fine tuning is cool. I'm afraid of updates but will install...

The updates are available in the official app.

FWIW, BikeControl App is trying to support Wheeltop EDS TX "extra" Shifter button task assignment similar to Shimano and SRAM bonus buttons... it's not fully there yet but he's trying to get it to work.  Reach out if interested I know he was looking for folks to test, etc.

I might have to give Wheeltop TX another try. The groupset is sitting in my drawer right now.

I have the OS kit on my Niner MTB, but replaced the EDS TX with GRX Di2 on my Gravel bike.  It's not a bad groupset, especially at 1/3 the price of Di2, but in the end since I have Di2 on my road bike and was accustomed to how it performed and its features etc I wanted it on my Gravel bike as well.

Shameless plug, my lightly used EDS TX groupset is listed in the Chinertown Classifieds... .

Great news.
Hope now I can get my FD perfect, because I could never get it not to rub when riding in the biggest cog.
I´ll give my feedback after I try it

You can adjust all the trim positions on the FD with the new app - having gone through and re-done all the FD positions now it's definitely worthwhile doing so. This is the app they needed to launch with rather than release it three years later - I expect it would have made people feel very different about the setup process.

I did a quick comparison of FD shifting speed compared to the 105 Di2 on my other road bike since the firmware noted some changes to FD shifting in the new firmware. I have mine set to race mode (using the DrEDS web app so it still sleeps properly as well). Downshifts are approximately the same speed, upshifts are maybe 0.3s-0.5s slower.

Just found that the Magene PES charging cable also works for the Wheeltop group, and seems to have a slightly better hold than the original cable. Handy if you happen to have one lying around, or need a spare.

I think they're reasonably generic-my older Sigeyi cable works fine as well.
