Just found that the Magene PES charging cable also works for the Wheeltop group, and seems to have a slightly better hold than the original cable. Handy if you happen to have one lying around, or need a spare.
Openly T700 frame, 8.5kg build, random ass wheels, random ass tyres, mechanical shifting with full integration.Yeah, but they're not after our market. They're building out an actual dealer network in the US where joe consumer can walk in and buy a complete bike with pretty good performance from his standpoint for 2/3's to 1/2 of what the majors charge, and have a real bike shop to support it, along with warranty service. They'll clean up.
It's ""cheap"", assuming shipping is indeed included, but it's far from a no brainer.
If you buy OEM and know what parts to pick, you can get close-ish (you ll spend a bit more), but it will be better. Very different work / time / sweat equity involved though.
New firmware updates for all parts today. There's also mention of a v2 app that allows fine tuning of the position for each derailleur (hopefully that means live fine-tuning, as that's probably the biggest setup issue with the groupset currently). The v2 app doesn't seem to be available yet but I will do the firmware updates once it is.
EDIT: Did all the updates. Right shifter firmware reset the settings on it (so you'll have to configure buttons again). The new app is available and FINALLY ALLOWS FOR LIVE FINE-TUNING!!! Better late than never. Shifter firmware updates apparently now increase battery life, and the RD ANT+ profile has been updated related to the battery settings - hopefully that now means it shows low battery at a lower battery percentage (rather than the 50% it was before).
Anyone tried this one?Nice, but no pockets. I like this one https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-cheji-aero-suit.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.auto_suggest.3.1071SFZHSFZHH7 but want it in something other than black...
I just found this on AliExpress: | Cheji Men's Pro Team Aero Roadsuit Road

You can already buy Sp-Cycle 0 offset Seatpost for R088 for around 60€ on AliExpress
The X68 is back - now resembling the SL9.
I replayed your video four times and it does look like only the BB is moving. If you are seeing movement in the BB housing area you might want to send them another video showing it.
Anyone tried these Rujixu carbon wheels with the "dragon scale" texture?Reach out to Serenade...they have a similar wheel (its not on their site), similar price, good reviews
Came across this set on AliExpress — looks like an attempt to mimic Scope's textured wheel finish, though the execution seems pretty rough compared to the original
Wheels are 23mm internal and 30mm external, not bad for the new wider wheels standard. Also, not cheap wheels as far as Aliexpress goes
Has anyone here actually ordered a set? Curious about build quality, weight, and whether the texture holds up (or just looks bad up close).

I message about this bike this morning it is no longer avaiblae. All they have is remaining stock or full bikes apparently someone has bought the mould a customer. Seems strange as it basically and SL8 copy what business would buy this
About to pull the trigger one of these X68 frames and had some questions..
-Is it worth shopping around on AliExpress for an upgraded handle bar, such as ones that are compatible with SL8's? Just how flexy are these stock bars? Has anyone tried a different integrated cockpit with success? Worth it to shop outside of AliExpress?
-Recommend upgrading steerer plug or are folks having good luck with the one supplied?
-Out of precaution, any tools or methods to help clear excess carbon out of the seat tube for Di2 battery?
-Should I just book a time at my LBS to have the brake mounts faced or can it reasonably be done yourself with a file and some elbow grease?
Feel free to recommend any other parts or supplies for the build.
How optimistic is it to expect it's arrival to the states by end of July if ordered tomorrow? (6/12)
