hmm...now I'm curious if I could fit a 12s 11-51 cassette. I'd like to run the same cassette on my gravel bike as my mtb just for uniformity sake.

I run a 12sp 11-50 cassette.

So my cat ate my eGR charging cable. Anyone know if they sell the cable by itself or do I have to buy the whole battery charging package?

Message 80 Design store. They sell replacement parts.

That's who I bought the group from fortunately.
Unfortunately the cable is $50! Ouch.

Anyone want to buy a cat? $49.99

very likely you can find someone handy with electricity to fix it. damage doesn't seem too bad so it shouldn't take long at all for someone experienced. either way electronic groupsets can fuck off if they don't have usb c or commonly found batteries imo

I think that you can get it on alix https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005006334627796.html you can get it for 20€

That's the cost for the battery cable. The mech charger is a bit more expensive.

alfiomotrambo

Oh yes i'm sorry it's like 28€

A bit expensive, considering the shimano one is 20€

That connector doesn't look too proprietary, so maybe it'll be worth trying some 3rd party options like https://aliexpress.com/item/4001028733433.html

Think is an original part...

The next cheapest thing to do is just charge the 14500 batteries in an external charger.  ;)

I always use an external charger which I figure is better quality charging (probably my imagination) though I use a good one for all my rechargeables.  I don't find I need to charge very often so it's not that much of a PITA and I have two sets of batteries anyway since they are cheap. I always worry about losing or my charger breaking.  I really hate proprietary stuff.

Is the battery fixed like Wheeltop? There's no indication in the video.
