Just got my set, will report on them once on the bike. Finish is nice on them and don’t expect to have any issues. I might just sand them and then clear coat as I don’t love the logos.
315g for a 162.5 set

I think I’m about 500-600 miles in on my EGR. I haven’t any issues after initial set up.
Should be able to put about 1000 miles on it this month.

Hi Trackar

Thanks for sharing this. How do you find the EGR? I'm keen to know if the problems of the Waterproofing and the RD swing stop has been resolved? The one that Luke from Trace Velo was having.
No issues with it at all so far. Will be getting a second groupset most likely. Also will begin to log quite a bit of miles on it soon, will update after 1000 miles.

I'm wondering if you got the bleed kit sorted out and have any thoughts to share. I've got eGR set on the way. I'm used to doing deeper install research before installing but there is so little on it. So any tips or cautions are appreciated. (or pointers to a more appropriate thread)

Very easy to install imo. The usual pain to run bike lines if you’re internal, but then just a regular bleed procedure as if they’re shimano levers. Plug it in and begin to fine tune the shifting in the app. EZ. I didn’t have to do anything weird in my install to make anything work. Besides the 1st batteries not working.

Pretty much my experience so far, as well. I'm coming up on about 2 weeks of it being up and running, at about 150mi. By the end of next week I'll have about 300-350 mi on it, but mostly pavement so nothing too rough. It's been excellent so far. I initially was worried about battery drain, because my first couple of rides the battery drained super quick. I think it may have been some kind of break-in or first-cycle issue with my cells rather than a derailleur issue. Rather than top-off on my first few rides I just let it continue running down until it registered just under 20% life and then I topped it off to 100%, that probably got me about 100mi or so (which was pretty poor, imo).

My last few rides, since then, it has seemed to drain remarkably slowly. After yesterday's 25mi ride, it didn't even budge enough to register a drop at all.

Funny Same thing here. Initially when I saw the battery just drop rapidly I was thinking it would last 80-100 miles at that rate. Since the 1st charge it’s been holding up very well.

Love it so far, build quality is great, paint quality is on par to canyon. The bike built up very easily. Expander plug torque is 8-10nm, do that and make sure you cut the steer short enough and there’s no issues with the headset like many others mentioned.
Favorite bike I’ve owned so far.

Love the new colours of the G2. I have one of the original green with black forks.  Curious about the full internal setup with mechanical, I have a new groupset coming soon and am curious to set up full internal, can you provide some advice/tips to do it?

Thanks.

In order to run the cable housing all the way though you need to remove the bottom cover under the bottom bracket and make the holes slightly larger for the housing to fit through. Also need to Remove the metal fitting on the chain stay so the cable housing can come out, nothing else besides that. The metal fitting is removal, for those that run electronic you replace it with an included rubber grommet. It worked fine. I did end up going with an Egr groupset shortly after. No issue with the mechanical groupset. Just couldn’t pass up Egr @ $360

I’ve had mine for about a month and a half. Not a ton of miles, but I should start logging a lot of miles soon. Zero issues so far. Initially the groupset only worked when plugged in. I knew what it was right away, the 1st set of batteries I ordered were a hair too short and were not making a proper connection. Ordered a different set that had a taller “nub”. That is not the groupsets fault, it’s a common issue when using these types of rechargeable batteries.

I might order another set, but would like it in carbon. Although the price will be higher than the $350-$375 you can get the current groupset for.
Here are the ones that worked well, surprisingly they were the cheapest ones too

Holding up great so far, but I haven't put to many miles on it yet. I have zero concerns about the wheel set given light bicycles reputation. The fit and finish on the rim is amazing. Very true, tension is even, they're built very well. The cranks are very well built too, I don't believe there will be any issues.

Post a picture of your bike. I'm the same Height and I run a 54 as well, but it does mean I run a lot of saddle to bar drop. If I want a more comfortable fit 55/56 is better. On top of that getting a more endurance based frame helps significantly Imo

I have a set of the Ryet/Lexon bars and I'm very happy with them. They're stiffer and the finish on them is nicer than my yoeleo bars. Cable routing was fairly easy as well.

Looks amazing. This is a textbook light weight build, focusing weight savings on the 2 places where you are likely to see the most gains other than the frame in terms of rims and cranks.

Light Bicycle's pro series rims are the seriously nice. IMO build quality wise up there or better than anyone. I've built and owned a few sets and they are really nice. Very clean bladder removal and patching. Build true with even tensions too.

The Elilee crank looks great, how do you like it? I am torn between it and the SkyPivot. Big difference seems to be the bonded spindle in the Elilee vs. a swapable one on the SkyPivot and a few grams.

If you do end up swapping chains, I recommend getting the Force AXS one to match your cassette. It's one of the most durable road chains you can get, and regularly hits the $30-$35 (USD) price point. I got 10,000+ mostly gravel miles from each of mine before they hit the 0.5% indicator on my Pedros chain tool, though i waxed my chains.

Love the Elilee cranks so far, build quality is great, I don't suspect I'll have any issues with it. Build Quality on par with my FSA carbon cranks and older red cranks. I really want to get a Blize XXE frameset, but waiting to see if any more reviews come up as the price is comparable to an Aethos and weights the same.

In that case may throw on a force chain on this bike and reuse the zitto for my commuter.

I would keep a very close eye on that ZTTO chain if I were you. I used one when I first built my gravel bike and after 1000km the chain and the cassette were so worn even a new chain did not help... That was an expensive lesson...

Will keep an eye on it, appreciate the heads up. I have them on other bikes, but individually they don't get to many miles as I alternate them.
Need to order a chain wear tool or 3d print one

The nice thing about your gravel build is that you could go with some big knobby tires and still be in the high 6kg or low 7kg range. Even with a slight weight increase, that would  be very good for a gravel bike. Now you have me looking at your wheelset on Light Bicycle's website! Lol
Ordering some Rene Herse tires shortly, and it will be perfect.
I used twisted wheels discount code on light bicycle to get 10% off, he made me aware of them and I think I’ll be ordering another set soon, love them! Plus the hub is fairly quiet too.

Damn, nice build! That bike weighs less than a lot of roadie builds on here! That wheelset and crankset make a big difference in weight savings.
I suspect the savings was about 1kg in those two components. The seatpost saved another 100g. There’s definitely more places to save weight, but it would basically double the cost of the build to save another 500 grams lol
