Title: LTwoo ERX - New Oil Needle - Replacement options
Post by: Krunchy on August 08, 2025, 07:12:35 AM

Hi, so

I received my new ERX v3 and I saw that it uses new Oil Needles that are neither bh90 or bh59, but look more like the tektro one with the O-Ring?

Any opinions on them? And Ideas with what they could be replaced?

Looks like a Tektro barb, but with the a BH59 olive. Unless they changed the caliper design, I'm guessing it would still work with a BH59/90 barb & olive. Perhaps they just wanted better sealing with the calipers, hence the different barb. It shouldn't be a major issue unless you plan on swapping out your groupset to a different bike later on.

Any update on compatibility?

I ordered some Tektro Barbs from AliExpress, they have different dimensions overall, so I guess LTwoo uses their own now

but the old Shimano ones probably still work I guess, haven't tried though

I was chatting with a cyclist from China and he mentioned something about an air intake oil leakage which was brought to LTwoo's attention during the Shanghai bike show. I wonder if using barbs (with gaskets) LTwoo's response to that issue?

I bought Ltwoo barbs with gaskets from Ltwoo on Aliexpress just to be sure.
