Component Deals & Selection / Re: Shimano di2 groupsets from aliexpress
« on: June 05, 2025, 12:01:16 AM »Well that's a real question, how much more expensive is it against Ltwoo, for reference I'm in France, and I can have a 105 DI2 for around 800€, considering it's a full group, with cranks, cassette, chain. Ltwoo on the other hand, offers fewer parts, and still 530€ for an ER9 V3 or 630€ for eRX, how much cheaper is it in reality? And in your opinion what are the pros and cons for each ones ?Thank you for your question! South Korea is notorious for its consumerism and Import taxes(Korea Certification Mark). Comparing the groupset bought from AliExpress and one from authorized dealer or a bike shop, the difference is quite significant. The cheapest full shimano 105 2x12 di2 I could find localy would send me back 1,530,000 KRW(which is 1124 USD roughly), and AliExpress one with taxes would be roughly 1,150-1,200,000 KRW. This difference is quite to be concidered because I have to take the bike to the shop beacuse I have no idea of how to build the bike, I'm just knowledgable about the specifications.
