What the hell? I tried to but that cassette on Aliexpress and it showed me one price, and when I logged in to actually purchase it the price bumped up about 20%? I'm still kinda new to that site, is there some way to get around that or to get the price it shows me before I logged in?

Customs gets built in to the price.

I received my replacement RD from Ltwoo. On visual inspection I can't see anything different at all. They assure me they have fixed the water ingress issues. Time will tell!

Does LTwoo eGR show up in bicycle computers (wahoo for example) like Wheeltop EDS TX ? To see battery level and shift number ?

Yup! My Karoo 2 sees it - battery life, shifters (although it can't detect it's 1x, but I selected "0" for teeth on the small chainring), shift count, ratio etc - everything you could ever need.

My Stages Dash M200 sees my eGR. It thinks its a Shimano Di2. My bike computer has a screen that let's me tell it how many gears, what the cassette sizes are, and what the front chainring sizes are (I forget what I did for the front chainring to show only as 1 but it works now) and from all that it gives me a ton of options. It can show a representation of my cassette and which gear I'm in. It can show just an information widget on which gear combo I'm in, and it can also show my ratio. The only part that's a little flakey is the battery, as it only shows full, normal, and critical battery levels, and seems to sometimes warns about critical battery when the battery is perfectly fine. I suspect it's maybe receiving info about  a voltage level or something that doesn't quite match Di2 voltage levels so it thinks the battery is dying when it's nowhere even close.

I just hit 500km of pretty gnarly gravel on the eGR groupo. It's performed like a champion, no complaints so far.

I might be installing this group on someone's bike. The description by LTWoo about the calipers is throwing me off. They say its not flat mount, its not compatible with standard spacing and you would need a flat mount adapter to be purchased separately. What other parts does one need exactly for it to fit onto flat mount frame/fork? I see they include an adapter, is that not enough?

The included adapters should work for 140mm and 160mm rotors. In some instances I’ve seen issues with certain fork designs not fitting and I found the rear 140mm adapter+caliper a bit more difficult to tighten due to the seat stays being in the way.

The overall brake performance is good and I found using the adapters make aligning the calipers a bit easier than a regular flat mount setup.

I was thrown by this as well, but after reading trbike's write up on his website, and installing it myself, I think ltwoo have it wrong. What they provide in the kit fits flat mount without any issue.

I'm reposting his write up - hopefully he doesn't mind. I found it very useful for my install.

Thanks. I had calipers not fitting into rear triangle of my GF002 (TRP HY/RD) because they were too tall after the adapter. Hope these are not that tall, the group will be going on a 2023 Diverge which has dropped seat stays and narrow rear triangle.

Oh good. Yeah, I am wondering why they had to mention that. Thanks for the link, I will give it a read!

With the 160mm adapter, No issues with dropped seat stays. Though I found space extremely tight with the 140mm adapter. I do fast descents with them, and performance has never been an issue. Also like I mentioned, I found the adapter plates give the calipers a bit more leeway aligning the brakes. The plates help create a flush surface even if your disc brake mounts aren't perfectly surfaced. I have zero disc rub on either of my LTwoo equipped bikes.

Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for 14500 cells. I have a generic set from eBay but am suspicious of their capacity/reliability. Would like to have another set on hand to try.

Vapcell F12 14500 from Liion Wholesale. I got 4 for $16. Vapcells are a favorite of flashlight community.
