It's quite the opposite. I respect Magene that they want the product to be 100% ready. Totally different approach then other craps companies like ltwoo or some wheel manufacturers who are testing products on "live consumers"

^^^ THIS!

I know they exist in some high end brands just haven't haven't found anyone like Elite that makes them.

Take a look at the Crux (or clone) for a more road like geo or Carbonda 505 (also has an SL version) for a more relaxed gravel geo.

I have an original Carbonda 505 that was a spare parts gravel build several years ago. It's still my favorite bike I've ever owned. The newer 505 has been de-graveled a bit and looks like a great road/gravel option.

Agree that this is very interesting. I tend to need zero setback seatposts and very few frame manufacturers make them. Unfortunately I think this has a BSA BB given the 68mm width. I know Workswell will make some frames with a t47 68mm wide BB request but most are typically 85.5/86.5mm wide.

4000+ k now on my er9.
I did a 220km ride today which started in pretty awful rainy conditions and I had wet roads/road spray and grime throughout. I must say after all these stories I am a bit anxious that at some point I'm gonna click the button on the shifter and nothing happens. But it keeps working just fine, no matter what I put it through.

Edit: Sorry for the pic from the NDS. I was pretty spent when I shot this.

What calipers are you using?

also a fan of these bibs from Rion https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832726343269.html

Honestly, this is some of the few small things that keeps me from going away from eR9/eRX. For comparison, Shimano's charging cable is bulkier and probably takes much more space in my saddle bag if I want to do the same strategy.

All the flexibility that comes with LTWOO are so user friendly, from the variable 10-12 speed, user replaceable battery, individual gear indexing, air vent for bleeding, great app for on-the-fly adjustments. I know Shimano/SRAM may already have most, if not all of these, but considering I can get eR9 for a fraction of the price (they are now even much cheaper compared to launch price and I got my second eR9 for $380 after tax), I am now a happy user. I am hoping the second and third generation of eR9/eRX would solve all the issues users are currently having. By then, I would not hesitate to recommend the groupset to others.

It's actually somewhat impressive that they managed to do all these in their first generation product, while avoiding all the patent minefield left by Shimano/SRAM.

where are you getting the er9 for $380?

Having trouble finding wider rim brake rims (internal width 21+ mm). Everything I'm finding that wide is disc brake only. Do these exist?

If you buy a sample directly from Alibaba (not aliexpress) you can get the ERX carbon set for ~610 USD shipped.

put me down for a small, I can be patient for this.

They're sold out so looking to maybe build something similar.
