LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets

[TidyDinosaur]

Rain and washing the bike are absolutely crazy things  .
Well, a short submersion should have no impact, but I wouldn't demand it to be fine with hours of diving.
It's a challenge to run electronic stuff in the environment. But it's not impossible. I never had issues with my di2 due to water.

Well, there is always the chance you end up in a stream or puddle up to the shins. I would expect a derailleur to keep working in those conditions...

I've done around 1000k on er9 now. About 250k since I sealed the cable plug on the RD with silicon grease. It's been working flawlessly ever since. I did another wet ride and washed the bike after. No problems. I haven't done anything to the plug on the FD because I don't think that there's an issue with that connection. Ever since the latest FD firmware update the trimming function works a bit better, too. I'm quite happy with it, for the money anyway. So far, that is.

I've read your post on here the silicone grease might be the solution to protecting the RD. Still sucks though that LTwoo hasn't designed a better solution. Now someone else is having cold issues with the shifters. Maybe 2024 will be the year that all the kinks get ironed out?

My new er9 on my alloy bike.
Was about to sell that bike and buy a "fancier" one instead. But all i needed was elecronic shifting.
The RD cable solution is ugly for now since i cant internally route it. Thought about drilling a hole into the chainstay but i'd rather not.

I love and hate it. Hate because now i have to turn my TT bike into electronic shifting with a frankenstein sram force / shimano setup. After my first ride on the blue bike I'm totally sold on electronic.

And tell me  ..... what is the difference from your writing to what i wrote?? Short immersion. Or do you plan to rest in a puddle?

No difference  Just to clarify that I did not mean that you should be able to use it in a swimming pool

It should survive a dunk in the pool! Pretty sure both AXS and Di2 are IPX7 rated (1m depth for 30 minutes) and Ive never had or heard of a water ingress issue on either. Have like 30,000+ miles on the AXS group on my gravel bike with zero failures. It gets pressure washed too. That is a really big difference vs. adding in some grease. Seems like Ltwoo needs some serious design to work to get there.

Hello I have contacted LTWOO without response, There was a question: if anyone figured out yet what the “Gear protection”  options in the LTWOO application actually is?

Not sure. But I think it's the crash mode. And the option in the app is probably really only there to disengage crash mode after it has automatically been engaged due to, well, a crash for instance.

Purpose is to prevent your drivetrain from crosschaining. If you are on the big gear at the front, you won't be able to shift your rear to the last 2 lowest gear. Same if you are on the small ring, you won't be able to shift your rear to the last 2 highest gear

Perfect for people who've accidentally cut their chain one link too short!
Side note, there's a ridiculous sale for the ER9 groupset on AliExpress, 600 AUD!

Probably because they're about to start selling stock of a significantly revised version ...

That's exactly what I thought.

There will be a new iteration of ERX coming in Q1 2024:



See from around 7:00 in this video. LTWOO will be holding a launch event.

Hiall. With regard to the RD connector, I have sealed this with heat shrink tubing.  Let’s see how this works. This is my 3rd RD. Works as a charm again. Hopefully three is the lucky number.

Presumably the revised electronic gravel hoods we saw pics of a while ago, and derailleurs with seals, for both road and gravel.
