Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Twitter G2 budget alloy gravel frameset

« on: August 18, 2026, 08:37:21 AM »

Some insights from someone who got one:

I originally ordered the old version at the start of may and after it didnt ship for 30 days+, I asked whats going on. They informed me of the new version and another 30 days delay. Kind of a bummer because colors and seat post size changed, but 50c wheels and fork mounting points. I decided to wait and after 3 months instead of 30 days the frame arrived 2 weeks ago.

Headset was clean, everything fitted well. Just like in a Aliexpress review I had a bit of paint damage under the top tube.
Price now increased by around 70€ so its not the go-to option anymore....

Got these, as ProX was recommended somewhere as part of Lightcarbon I think.

shipping took a while, but should be what you are looking for. Did around 3k kms and everything good so far.

Edit: its 38mm, but close enough I think

Hey Fellows,

I've finally managed to install my purchased ERX groupset.
I bled the brakes as described in the instructions. Everything's fine on the right brake lever. The left brake lever looks like it's leaking out from the upper locking bolt on lever. You can see the mineral oil seeping out.
Additionally, the pin/piston in the brake lever (I think it is called master cylinder) is making a smacking noise (this isn't the case with the right brake lever) - see video attached.
Do you guys have any similar experience and/or way of explaining how, or if it's even possible to repair it?

If it is not repairable, are the shiftet / levers of the ERX interchangeable with ER9 or ER7 versions and where to get this as separate spare parts?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I can only speak to the noise. It went away, after just pulling the brake lever as hard as I can, but the brake was then and is still leaking a bit where it connects to the hose. (Though this might be, because its a bit short and I am using it with Shimano hose and Olives.) I suspect there was air trapped somewhere and once it got out, the noise disappeared, but I am no expert.

Hoping to fix the leaking, now that original olives are available again.

Well DPD stole mine earlier in the year, took 3 months, but velobuild reshipped a new frame...

It arrived in the EU 10 days after the tracking number was created, but I chose XDB, so no customs, did you pay for that?

Also be aware, my fork needed a crown unlike some people posted here, it seems like they ship different forks from time to time
