Yes, 10-51 working. and 10-45 works as well without shotening chain.

Got my AliEx order with m7100 10-51 cassette and put it on. It is tight in the 51 but works. I won't be in the 51 much, so it is fine. Very happy with the gearing  :D

I use MyWhoosh on an appletv box and Zwift before it.

I like the tyre clearance!
It is very high stack.

Well, I was hesitant to give Ltwoo a go. My cable operated GRX pushed me to and with a great price, so it happened.
Only 260k on it so far but my eGR v2 is bloody good so far.
I have read people complaining of stiff rubber hoods. That is a definite plus imo. The soft floppy GRX hoods gave me the shts. The shape of the hoods is very comfortable also.
Early days, but thus far I am a big fan of eGR. 😎👌

Hunt wouldn't be my first choice if I was looking for something reliable. DT Swiss GR1600 have a reputation of being bomb proof they have a 130kg max system weight. But at that weight I would also look into 28 spoke options.

If budget is not limiting for example Lightbicycle can build you wheelset with reinforced carbon rims with 28 spokes and you can choose stronger spokes.

I have some GR1600 with about 25k km on them. They have been trouble free and tough. Very happy with them 👍

The insert came from Ltwoo, does it have the o-ring? I was wondering the major part to prevent the leak is the olives so why oring needed? Any one tried Shimano insert at the latest eGR/eR9 lever?

Yes it did have the o-ring and I used them not shimano ones.
Good point about why is it there.
There is an exclamation warning in the user manual;
Please use the oil needles and olive ferrules supplied with the Ltwoo kit
I think you are correct and they must be used.

Regarding eGR vers. 2: has anyone seen a listing on AliX for pins and olives? The latter seem to be standard Shimano BH90, and former looked similar to Tektro, but the Ltwoo ones seem so be slightly smaller in diameter.

I have just fitted eGR v2 to my Revolt that had 11s GRX cable operated on it. I compared some spare Shimano barbs and olives to the supplied Ltwoo ones. Looked the same to me. I left the GRX brakes and lines on the bike and just slightly shortened the too long lines and fitted them to the eGR levers. I did use the supplied Ltwoo barbs and olives.

I have the same groupo on the way. Have gone with m8100 10-45 to start, with 44t chainring. Just confirming it will clear the 51 on the back?

@Ghandy
The bike looks great.  8)
What brand of bb is that? What crankset and what size chainring?

I love the paint! 😍

Will the new eGR work with a 12s 10-51 MS cassette ? I can get microspline freehubs for my DT 350 wheels.

What're favourites here when it comes to china bib shorts?

I was elsewhere hearing about Rion and YKYWBike - is that also getting praise here or rather something else?

Have 3 pairs of YKYW bought last year. My go to bibs. Comfy for 5 hours.

I don't know why, but that bike seems really awkward, strange looking, maybe due to the frame geo to be able to fit those 2.4 tires... :o

Sort reach and high stack. It appears to be a bike packing/touring bike. Mount points all over it. Not a gravel racer.
