Never knew of its existence, but yes, you can definitely use that. I went with what I had.

Yeah, I discovered it because I had to use it when replacing an SD-card in my front door camera. So it is definitely fit for this purpose.

So doe the ER9/X issues only happen to those who ride in the rain?

I got caught in rain once. No issues after the ride..

Anecdotal evidence, really. But I rode my er9 again today in rain on wet roads. The bike got covered in grime. I hosed it down after the ride. Groupset keeps working. This time of the year, pretty much all my rides are wet and dirty. No issues. All these reports do make me wonder if I should take precautionary measures.

Can't you use some dielectric grease?

It amazes me how people keep defending Ltwoo and these groupsets with all these problems... It's not like we're talking about a 125USD Sensah mechanical groupset...
It's like buying a frame, seeing it has a crack when it arrives and saying: "I'll just put some epoxy on there and ride it, it's the cost of being an early-adopter"
It's just show the desire from many to see a viable third option behind the big two.

With all the issues the eRX groupset is having, if you're in the market for a cheap electronic group, The Pro's Closet is selling Shimano Di2 at ridiculous prices. You can use their $40 off coupon for every $200 and build a full 105 Di2 for like $500 right now. Shifters are $100 each, brakes for $28, RD is $100, FD is $55, battery for $66.

I inputted one of the big TPC promo codes that brought the total 105 Di2 savings below $400 USD, but after I entered my address it said I wasn't eligible! I was just about to pull the trigger.  :-\

These deals are just getting crazier and better. My 105 Di2 upgrade kit just came in and it's $711. Then here's a deal with much cheaper than the one I bought.

My RD started to respond slowly as well. Very likely due to moisture in the plug. I disconnected it, cleaned it, let it dry and applied some silicone grease to seal the plug from the elements. Did a 90 minute long ride today. Everything is back to normal. The RD shifts fine. I think the RD plug is most likely the scapegoat since the plug at the FD socket is facing downward and is probably a lot less likely to collect moisture. I think the plug design could easily be improved to seal better against water.

Can you make a video showing what you did? :)
