Component Deals & Selection / LTWOO 50ml Mineral Oil alternative for eRX help
« on: November 12, 2024, 12:11:57 PM »
Hi all. Looking for an alternative to this product.
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806128370408.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.2d2838daXj53fr&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
Trying to save a few dollars with a product that has Choice shipping and perhaps includes the bleed kit like this:
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806985053565.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.3b1971be4ZEqpC&algo_pvid=9685b210-7d6f-4813-9afc-54815fd4c095&algo_exp_id=9685b210-7d6f-4813-9afc-54815fd4c095-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%2110.80%214.54%21%21%2177.72%2132.64%21%402103201917314349096142993ed649%2112000039693288850%21sea%21US%211638821745%21X&curPageLogUid=PZ3hTD3mwPlO&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A
Would that be a suitable alternative? I'm not knowledgeable about the different kinds of brake fluids to know what after-market products I can use with the eRX system. Thanks for any help offered!

Component Deals & Selection / ELITEWHEELS 650B Gravel Wheelset questions
« on: November 07, 2024, 01:00:46 PM »
Hi all,
I'm interested in upgrading to this wheelset on my 11 speed Cruzbike Q45 which has an 11 speed cassette and a Microshift XLE 1x11 Trigger gear shifter.
https://tinyurl.com/3b6wft9k
The details of this wheelset indicate that it is only compatible with an XDR 12s. I assume that designation pertains to the cassette.
If I were to upgrade my cassette, it seems I would have to upgrade my gear shifter set due to the 11s and 12s difference. At least as far as I know, my Microshift shifter can't be made to be a 12s shifter.
And if I upgrade that stuff, I'm going with the LTwoo eGR which is a lot of money to spend in my opinion. I think in 2yrs, these kinds of products will be under $300. At least I hope so. I don't see much point in upgrading to a non-hydro/electric groupset even though I'm a bit allergic to the cost.
My questions are:
Is that wheelset in the SLR SRM XDR config really only compatible with a 12s cassette?
Is it possible to only upgrade to this 12s cassette in my shopping cart without upgrading the shifter/brakes and somehow use my Microshift 11s shifter on the new 12s cassette?
https://tinyurl.com/2kz2nz85
I'd kiiiind of like to upgrade just my wheels although I may just end up upgrading everything despite the cost.
Shifting on cables has always been distateful to me even as a kid many decades ago. Even when I was around 11yrs old, I was annoyed about having some gears well dialed in but never able to have all of them perfectly dialed in due to the inherent nature of cable shifting.
Anyway, clarity on the above questions would be very helpful in this conundrum. Thanks for any replies!

Hi all,
Want to chime in and report that I installed this unit on my bike and it works well as far as I can tell.
Why can't I post youtube links in here? I can only get a large blank space when including a yt url in my post :/

Will this bottom bracket work?

Any reason I should choose a different one or is there a consensus on what product is best practice right now?

I ordered the crank only. Had no idea that the existing bottom bracket might not be compatible with the crankset.
I'll buy a new bottom bracket if needed, but don't know how to select the right one at least not yet without researching and getting more guidance.

Yep, the stock bottom bracket is:
Bottom Bracket Square Taper 68mm*113mm
Will that not work?

Hi all,
Would you guys be so good as to review my parts selection here for upgrading my Cruzbike Q45?
https://cruzbike.com/products/q45
I got a current gen one of these bikes which has a 42t chainring and a 155mm crankset with integrated spider.
In order to execute this upgrade, I can see that I'll need new cranks that don't have an integrated spider.
Altogether, I've put these 3 items in a shopping cart and need to ask you guys if you see any problems with it.
