Title: Going from ltwoo rx 2x12 to flatbar
Post by: Klaush on March 09, 2026, 07:40:12 AM

I want to change my setup to flatbar. Mostly because of my back and try out 1x again.

Im looking at the ltwoo ax12 or is there another groupset i have to look into?

I would like to keep it at 12 speed

Brakes im thinking of keeping the zrace caliber and just get shome shimano levers.

Not sure what cassette im going for. It has to fit my hg hub

Is there more i should consider?

I have the TX groupset on my mtb and love it, although if only for road, no need for clutch on dérailleur. Need to make sure the throw on the derrailleur matches the shifter’s.  For cassette, not cheap but the goldix all steel 10/11-44T would be my choice

Thanks. Yes clutch is important. I prefer to ride on gravel.

Tx is that the electronic from wheeltop? It's out of my price range at the moment

Not it’s the top of the range MTB groupset but cable, 70$
