Can't wait for availability on that 1x electronic groupset, with no region locked app

Hopefully they make a 2x version as well

So only 1x is planned for this? Or I missed something obvious.

Excited for this, I am part of a ltwoo owner fb groups and every day you get people reporting issues with those. People say we're overpaying for the big brands and or this group is biased because of course people would report stuff not working and not stuff working but I still feel like it's not the case, it's not refined enough yet.

I bought the xxpro during the 11.11 sale. I dont know the exact price since I bought other stuff as well. It got delivered within 5 days since it was shipped from Poland. No additional taxes. So far I'm happy with it. No issues.

No slippage? Do you have another PM to compare it to?



This review seems to say it's pretty good, although maybe overshooting the power a bit, which can be offset somehow and now it's accurate? Weird but that works if you have another PM to compare I think... IMO it should be auto calibrated and users shouldn't have to deal with that, but yea...

I don't know how you guys manage to get it so cheap to your country, shipped to Canada even with coupons is 950CAD and that's probably before import duties, which at this point is more expensive than say a jetblack victory or a kickr core, and with lot less proven mileage...

Well it’s going to be impossible to say no to that offer, if the additional 20% coupon works it’s a steal at $210

Which coupon?

So as Waltly not really intend to sell me a frame, I switched over to Ti-Bikes.com and ordered a custom 3D printed frame.

How much was it shipped with ti-bikes? What kind of frame?

I just got one of these in the mail last night for review. I've already been using the Cycplus T2 for over two years now, that I sold off my Wahoo indoor trainer stuff. Very accurate stuff.

Oh I've been waiting for any info on the R200 since it was released, will monitor this thread then thank you :)

On paper the specs are just insane, I doubt it will perform as well as a neo 2t (seems too good to be true to have the same specs for a third of the price) but maybe it's still a very decent unit.

Anybody tried the cycplus r200:

https://road.cc/content/news/has-cycplus-mastered-affordable-turbos-315951

The specs look way way too good to be true, so I'm a bit skeptical. It's basically a neo 2t at less than a third of the price.

Some more footage in

No release date yet, but hopefully they release it later and well tuned rather than sooner... Ltwoo electronic groupsets is plagued with issues everywhere I look...

I'm also interested in their powermeter pedals, I prefer that to crank based as it's much easier to swap around bikes.

Why wouldn't you? The PM always "knows" which crank arm is up or down. So as long as you're not pulling on the pedals - which you really shouldn't do since it's inefficient - it always knows which side is applying how much power.

For me the readings are accurate. Usually 50/50 with an occasional up to +/-2 spread which seems normal.

No it's actually a lot more complicated than that and it's also a reason why other single sided PM brands/models don't offer L/R balance. The PM only knows if one side is putting power or not, that's it. To conclude that the other side is always putting exactly the same power skews the L/R stats. If you buy the assioma UNO (which is pretty much the golden standard for PM accuracy) you'll notice they don't provide L/R balance for that reason, because it's not possible to get accurate data. That's also why in the assioma app you can specify a L/R power balance if you know you're always outputting 45/55 for instance. This way the uno won't simply *double* your power but will use this ratio.

Think about it this way, with your logic you could be doing one-legged workout (where you only have one leg clipped in) and the single side power meter would think you're applying power on the other side when you don't even have a foot clipped on the other side. Single side powermeter will never be accurate for L/R balance because it can only tell if one side is putting power or not.

I've had assioma duos. During high intensity workouts/sprints it's very common to get an imbalance on the power because people tend to have a stronger leg/side.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Reliable gravel wheelset on a budget?
« on: September 07, 2024, 09:12:58 PM »
I usually get farsports wheels paired with dtswiss hubs but for a more budget oriented build I'd like to consider cheaper options. Any brands that come to mind? Doesn't have to be super lightweight or have carbon spokes, just something reliable and true with easy to change bearings.

What I like about farsports rims is that I could get them easily without spoke holes too for tubeless setup, but this seems to be even more difficult to find at lower price...

I'd get a used bolt v1 versus a probably very unrefined chinese bike computer. Or if you really want something new I'd consider Bryton.

Update: I had the brake lever pistons lock up twice on my long ride yesterday. (Brakes were working normally at the start of the ride.) The first time was about 4 miles after the start of the ride, after a short downhill where the brakes were lightly used to control my speed. I was in a pack and as we came up to a stop sign, I pulled on the brakes to slow with the pack, and both brakes levers were locked up. I veered out of the pack, while pulling harder on the levers, and I felt a slight "pop" and they were working again.
 The second time was at the top of a 6 mile climb where I hadn't used the brakes in quite some time, I pulled on the brakes at the top of the climb, and only the right lever was stuck. (The one I purged with new mineral oil ) The Left/front brake worked normally.

It is becoming clear to me that there it is something in the brake lever hydraulic/piston side of things that becomes stuck. As soon as I can allocate the time, I will have to take one apart and see if I can find what is causing this problem. On the flip side. The ride had over 12K of climbing/descending, and on all of the long high speed descents, the brakes worked really well without any problem.

Thanks for the updats, glad to see that you're alive and well. But that is absolutely terrifying, I would not want to ride this groupset or ride with someone that has experienced this in a group ride. Have you contacted L-twoo about this?

At least we know the rim brake version can't have this issue right? How could they fuck up just pulling a cable I wonder...

There's nothing to do with your groupset (at least no serious rides), the only thing you can try (for science) is to find a park or a huge patch of grass where you could naturally slow down in case of failures and try to spam the brakes (probably just one at a time so you have a "backup" if it seizes) with crazy force from high speed to see if you can somehow reproduce it. Of course all in a controlled environment again with no risks to you or others. Heat buildup should not cause this kind of problems. Either something is wrong with their piston/hydraulic system design or you have a faulty system, I'm hoping for the latter since so many peoples bought this groupset already...

That is the current version of the app, looks exactly the same but it connects to my L508 without that message.

I would contact Magene support.

There was rumour of two different versions of the L508, one built just for the Chinese market and the other for the International market. If you bought your L508 from AliExpress you might of got the Chinese version.

I did buy my from the "offical" Magene store on AliExpress, but that was 18 months ago.

Thank you, I did try contacting them via email and even their FB page but no answers so far after a week... I'm considering asking for an aliexpress refund at this point...

I did download the chinese app (wasn't easy for me) and it does connect, but then without any translation the app is completely unusable for me sadly...

I can't even use the english app, mine only connects to the chinese app, which is a bit annoying since there are no translations for anything. Is it possible there are two firmwares? Or even two hardware lights marketed for different regions and I ended up with the wrong one?
