curious if they mentioned a timeline on when the frame would be ready?

Just curious but asking anyone that has the frame already, did you try measuring what max size 1x chanring you can fit? will using the SRAM wide standard allow for more than advertised 42T? Im planning tu order a chainring soon and wondering if its possible to push a bit further than Lightcarbon claims is max possible.

I messaged 80 designer store with couple of questions and while some of them got their meaning lost in translation i got a reply with some valuable information.

- According to them any eGR RD should have the ability to get 13 speed upgrade in APP but it is not recommended as their have different cage design and might go into wheel spokes.

- New shifters are not compatible with the old eGR generation so if you want to upgrade it is necessary to swap both the shifter and RD.

So overall the possibility to upgrade old gens to 13 speed is nice but very disappointing to see that in case of RD or shifter failure for old gen, we will be forced to swap both of them as there is no backwards compatibility

I asked few more questions but their exact meaning got lost in translation and the response i got was not accurate to the question, but based on clues they answered that attaching FD to old gen and using left shifter for it is possible but for new gen getting rid of shifting function on left shifter makes any conversion to 2x not possible.

I would be very interested if anyone could verify new RD compatibility with old version of shifter. Also despite their claims i still did not recieve any updates for my RD and i do not see a possibility for 13 speed on blue version so their comments might not be accurate.

Did anyone manage to use the new eGR yet? im really concerned about battery life on them as they advertise 4500mAh but on the battery they state only 400mAh and considering that the old gen had 1600mAh total in the battery pack im really concerned about total range since the capacity is only 25% of what we had before.

I also messages Ltwoo customer service and they stated that there is currently no schedule for updating the old generations with newer functions that is 13 speed and ability to swap button functions on shifters. But I should await further official announcements from LTWOO about this topic.
