Re: TT-X42 Full Bike with Carbon and Wheeltop
Hello. I was a little ambitious - it's possible if you go with L-Twoo ER9 instead. Add another $150 USD or so for the Wheeltop groupset - maybe you could fit it within budget if you managed to time the coupons perfectly. Here's a similar build from individual parts (though the wheels and crank are probably a bit better)

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Where are the discounted 105 Di2's available? Anyone know if it's possible to get just the shifter+FD+RD+disc brake calipers+battery (minus crank, cassette, etc.)? https://a.aliexpress.com/_mq5ZADl February 27, 2025, 06:49:12 PM |

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Seems a lot of the sellers exclude the battery, only include the battery casing. Searched through LTWOO's site and manual but no mention of what battery types the battery case accepts. Anyone know? Any type 14500 batteries. 3,7v and 800mAh. Available anywhere at about 5 EUR a piece. Make sure that the +pole is not flat, there are two options for that. The raised pole is what you want.

I've picked up 14500 3.7v 800mah batteries that were 51mm-53mm and they're too big. 51mm will barely fit, but I didn't feel comfortable because it put strain on the battery holder casing.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Make sure that the +pole is not flat, there are two options for that. The raised pole is what you want. This is often called "button top". You want button top 14500 cells. And, you also want to make sure to get some without extra fancy features. Some offer special USB ports for charging the cell via usb or other things like that. You don't want any of that, and it might interfere with how the Ltwoo charger is supposed to work. Today at 09:23:25 AM |

Re: Spcycle New Mold SP-R088 Carbon Road Frame
Looking at the photos, the fork legs seem sturdy....but if this does not translate into excessive rigidity while riding the bike on the road, well, I would say excellent result. My other road bike has a much more narrow fork. The R088 is a bit wider and thicker. Road chatter feels slightly more muted, especially on my 25c tubeless tires. On 28c tires, it's practically on cushions! One last observation. Lightweight bikes do feel physically a bit more fragile. I can bang around my 940g TFSA SL6 clone and not worry as much. My other 1150g gravel frameset is a straight up tank that can survive the off-road desert. The sub 790g R088 is like a dainty wallflower. It's stiff enough when riding, but I won't be tossing this bike around! Today at 02:02:56 PM |
