LTWOO eGR

[coffeebreak]

I have both ER9 and EGR in the cart. I like how EGR looks compared to ER9. Was planning to install it on VB GF002 which currently has Ultegra 8050 on it but then I realized I use that bike as endurance bike with 35c wheels and very light gravel thrown in where the current 11-34 cassette coupled to 46/36 chainrings work fine. May be I should just get the ER9 and also save a couple of bucks in the process.

I think LTwoo shot themselves in the foot with a max 46t limit with the RD. I'd rather just get a mechanical 12 speed 1x GRX 822 RD which gives a 51t cog capacity and is backwards compatible with 11 speed and probably 10 speed.

I think the chain was too short or RD B-screw set in too deep in Luke's video where he has problem shifting 50t cassette. It will *probably* shift 50t cassette with some smart play with B screw and chain length. Though I am hardly ever going to use 50t cassette as the jumps between last 2-3 cogs are just too much for any smooth shifting.

What I don't understand is why EGR is more expensive than ER9 considering it does not seem to have any better weatherproofing nor does it have FD.

Could not resist the eGR offer during the current sales with a 40$ coupon...
Let's see how this works out...

What cassette/chain/chainring do you plan to have with it ?

Many thanks for the link! But there is only a version "without box battery" available.  So this is worthless.
Alternatively, where can I buy such a battery in Europe and will the connectors be compatible?

You'll need to buy only 2x 14500 button-top lithium batteries ( https://eu.nkon.nl/rechargeable/li-ion/14500-16340/xtar-14500-800mah-protected-1a.html for example ) and probably 2x CR2032 for shifters. The battery module itself is included in kit.

Ahhh, nice! Didn't know that! I thought there would be a one piece battery pack included.

Any ideas about the possibility to use Shimano BR-RX400/BR-RX600 in combination with this groupset? Why I'm asking this: Could save work and leave the breaking cables within the frame and don't have to bother with this.

Should work without any issues

I think I did a thinking mistake. The braking hose on the shifter side most probably won't be compatible btw GRX und eGR. So yes, not really a saving of effort then since I will have to use the cable delivered with eGR shifters and pull them trough the frame.

Not more people trying this group? Saw there is a new 2024 edition.
Anyone know what changed?

Lots of people using er9/erx on a different thread here, it's maybe the busiest thread in the last several weeks. 2 out of my 5 er9 died a few days ago for no reason, and dealing with getting replacements is a slow burn nightmare, so right now, i wouldn't recommend ltwoo electronic. i like the hydraulic brakes and havent tried their mechanical stuff.
I dont think there's been clear communication around what's new / different since the launch of the erx. even the water ingress point wasn't addressed. basically it is evident that we're beta testing the stuff, but it's labeled a retail product. So nobody knows what changes they re making in the background on a running basis, or it they batch the changes into new versions.

Saw it there, remember you being very positive about the er9 when I ordered mine. The fact that they die without a reason is terrible. What reseller did you use?
Find the official store on ali bad in communicating. 80 designer store was a bit more expensive but atleast some kind of service there

Nowhere near as many reviews of this group as ERx. Trace velo had some issues with his. Don't know if he's done a more recent update on it.
