Hi All,

I believe WheelTop will be releasing the new revised EDS TX7800 in due time, this time from the photos it looks like it going to be a complete groupset.

Here are some pictures and info I've gotten from the web.

Any idea when this will be released? 4 months on and still no more news as far as I can see.

I'll be interested to see if they add an actual stabilizer screw (I think that is what it is called) to the front derauiler when the new group set

Oh, hell no ... I hope they scrapped that garbage AB style lower jockey wheel.  They'll fail in weeks.

Also surely they'll move to the new caliper design that GeX has?  It's so much better.

Yeah, I discovered this early on with my rim brake WT group.  Basically, if you shine a light inside the paddle, you’ll see that the return spring is pretty weak.  Depending on the road surface mine will rattle or buzz slightly.  If you’re inclined, you could probably find a way to replace it with a stronger spring.

Mine doesn’t bother me enough to do anything about it.

final i open it . ι have alloy lever and the noise suck.
problem is not the spring . noise come from the small button when touch the lever. i use sticker rubber for tube and noise dissapear.
i ll buy fabric tape to cover the inside place of lever

Awesome!  I’ll take look at mine and see if I have the same problem.

Looking to get some nicer brake pads, what am I looking for guys? I ordered some swissstop pads but they where too big

Interesting to me that is seems more people are using Ltwoo vs this new Wheeltop groupset. I am leaning more towards Wheeltop for my first electronic groupset.

Any info is appreciated.  Where are you buying?

This is my TX experience. 
Installed the group on my gravel bike in April 2024.   Loved them for the first 500 miles.  Everything worked fantastic.   Then, the brake levers started freezing/locking up and I had no brakes.  Suffered through this for a while.   Wheeltop wouldn't warranty them because they were purchased from and unauthorized seller.
Purchased a new set of brake levers.   Installed them last fall.  During installation and set-up, discovered that the RH/rear derailleur's shift paddles only shifted the derailleur one direction.  (Either up or down) Spent endless hours trying to resolve the problem.   Seller sent me a new RH lever. (Bike sat over the winter.)  Last week I installed the new lever.  Instant pairing and it works out of the bag. -One test ride to date.  Longer ride today.   

I am just starting to use this bike again.  Time will tell what the next problem is...

New to the post I would appreciate some help.

Installed the group set but I am having difficulty with the fine tuning. I am able to set the first gear (smaller cog) with minimal friction using the initial set up with arrow adjustment. I am also able to shift through all 12 cogs, but I find starting with the second gear noise in some of the cogs. When I try to use the fine tuning function using the App only it appears that I get no adjustment movement from derailleur. Am I missing something in the procedure of using the fine tuning? for example do I need to use the shifters in combination with the app fine adjustment set up? Or it is just simply the fine tuning function not working.

Would appreciate advise, thanks

If I recall correctly, you have to shift back to the smallest cog to get the fine running to work and did you try it with really big jumps in the number?

I'm still thinking whether I would build my bike with the Wheeltop or with a used Ultegra di2 11s

why not Ltwoo ERX or ER9?

After spending endless hours figuring out how to get all of my Wheeltop systems gears to shift smoothly, this is the process I follow these days.

1.  Perform an initial 1gear to derailleur cage alignment.
2.  Adjust the "B" screw position so that you can easily/smoothly shift up and down between the 2gear and the 1gear.   
3.  If it isn't shifting smoothly, I further adjust the initial 1-gear position, then slightly adjust the "B" screw again and again until the 2gear to 1gear and 1 gear to 2gear shift perfectly.
4.  I downshift to the lowest cassette cog and tune the lowest cog so that it shifts smoothly between the lowest cog and the next lowest (12gear to 11gear and 11 gear back up onto the 12 gear) - Double checking and being sure that the limit screw is not keeping the derailleur from shifting all the way onto the lowest gear

5.  Then I make sure that the derailleur cage isn't too close or far away from the lowest cog and that these gears shift up and down smoothly.   If it doesn't shift perfect between the 12gear and 11gear, I play with the "B" screw until its shifts perfect.
6.  Next, I shift all the way back down to the 1gear and test to see if it still shifts smoothly in the 1gear to 2 gear, back and forth. (Then I tweek the "B" screw some more, until the derailleur shifts perfect on both ends of the cassette.
7.  I start shifting one-by-one across all of the cogs, up and down, and perform my individual fine tuning of each gear. 

Al least for me, this iteration process has let me get almost perfect and silent shifting.

One other thing I discovered on several of my OX derailleurs is that the relative position/distance of my 1gear (10-tooth cog) to the outside flat surface that the derailleur mounts on varies between bikes.  I experimented with the initial 1gear calibration setting to discover that I was reaching the App adjustment limit of the derailleur and that there can be a shifting "dead zone" between trying adjust the step count number required to shift from the 1gear to the 2gear.   I could always shift out of the 1gear to the 2gear, but could never shift back into the 1gear from the 2gear.   I ended up installing a 2mm wide washer between the hanger and derailleur bolt, readjusted the initial 1gear calibration, and all of my shifting problems went away.   (I did not have this issue setting up my TX system.)
