Re: WheelTop EDS TX Full Wireless Groupset (Chinese SRAM)
I couldn’t wait any longer. Pulled the trigger on an EDS rim brake version 2 days ago. With a discount I got it for under 540.00 USD (taxes included) and free shipping. 500-550.00 was my break point for purchasing this groupset. Looking forward to testing it out this summer. I will be replacing a perfectly well tuned 105 R7000 group on my training bike. I will provide feedback once it arrives and I get some miles on it. April 19, 2024, 12:09:01 PM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
This is not a bad deal if building out a rim bike or something with cable hydraulic disc calipers. On a side note, I installed this 105 groupset on a buddy's rim brake bike with a busted Ultegra 6800 setup. I think after having used both, I prefer Sensah Team Pro mechanical shifters, especially in carbon. I mainly like Sensah's left shifter haptics which give very firm clicks for FD trim. Plus there's a brake lockout when shifting with Sensah. I don't think 105 has a braking lockout (correct me if I'm wrong). April 29, 2024, 11:23:47 AM |

Re: WheelTop EDS TX Full Wireless Groupset (Chinese SRAM)
I stand corrected. When I initially tried to install this everytime I tried to connect via the app, it kept timing out. This led me to attach the charging cable to wake the device and connect. I just tried it now without the charging cable and was able to connect. Sorry for the bad info. May 05, 2024, 12:55:20 PM |

Re: WheelTop EDS TX Full Wireless Groupset (Chinese SRAM)
Back in my motorcycle days I remember that steel braided brake lines for the brakes were all the rage among racers as it was supposed to improve the braking point. Dunno exactly if those are standard for cars. But IMO I've used stock Shimano ones, Magura ones and now on a recent build I used whatever LTWOO sends along with their stuff. I can't tell any difference and TBH I don't think on bike brakes there's enough oil pressure involved so that it really makes a difference, at least not as much of a difference as on a dual front brake with 4pistons per caliper and 300mm rotors on a superbike that goes 300kph. But with that being said, r2-bike.com in Germany sells exactly those "steel flex" hydraulic brake lines if you feel curious. They're almost 100EUR per 2.6 metres of brake line. I think I'll pass.
