Re: WheelTop EDS TX Full Wireless Groupset (Chinese SRAM)
So far, I've had a pretty bad run of luck with the EDS-TX. Learnings so far: There's a third party app available on the Facebook wheeltop users page-the apps url is https://dreds.jeckyll.net/ You'll need a pc with bluetooth or an android phone. It will also run on an iphone but you'll need an app named WebBLE to allow the use of websites that access bluetooth. Also, Google Chrome. May need to tinker with eliminating or disabling other browsers. But its great in that it 1) allows you to name and save configurations after fine tuning (awesome if you have a couple wheelsets) 2) seperates out race mode from sleep so you can have faster shifting and still have sleep mode 3) allows fd fine tuning of both initial positions and trim positions 4) allows you to turn off the "protection" that blocks the smallest 3 rear cogs in the little ring and 5) if you connect it to the group and leave it minimized, it stays connected so that you can use it on the road without an internet connection, unlike the standard app-you can also do this preconnect with the standard app but it runs phone gps and really sucks down the phone battery.

Evolve Cima ML- Rewind
Hey all. I haven’t seen to much about the Evolve Cima. Thought I’d put this out there for interested parties. Finally got the first ride on my new Cima today. Size ML. I did a mid grade build with some stuff I had and some new parts. Rival E1 shifters and older D2 RD and FD. Frame - 777g with hanger Wheels -1319g with valves and tape -Elite wheels Drive 2 50d. Bars -335 - Krueza 120mm x 40mm wide Post - 156g 380mm x 10mm offset Cassette - 309g force 10-36 Crankset w/ power meter - 705g Force 165mm with XCADEY PM and D2 force chainrings 48/35 Rotors - 146g x2 i dont remeber. Sram I think? Tires - 279g x2 Vittoria Corsa Tubetype 30mm 15.5lbs with pedals, cages, garmin mount. Frame was immaculately packaged. The users manual is excellent. All the spare parts were well packed and organized. Definitely feels high quality. The frame is beautiful. Perfect paint. Well threaded and faced BB and brake mounts. Etc. build up was simple enough. Internal routing was simple besides me crossing the brake hoses and setting them up Euro style by accident at first. The angles of the exit points on the bars are annoying but not insurmountable with a good pick and some finesse. First ride. The bike feels like a rocket. Stiff but responsive. Climbs very well. Unfortunately it was 28 degrees today in NY so I couldn’t give it the juice on the descents. I am a bit nervous about its descending. The handling is very different than my 54cm SuperSix Evo 3. You can see how steep the head angle is. The front tire is almost touching the downtube. Front center is very short. I’m hoping it can stay composed at high speed descents. Overall very happy with the bike so far. Pics attached. January 03, 2026, 07:19:29 PM |
