Wheeltop EDS TX electronic groupset

[BikeTyson]

One button left makes sense, going back and forth. Actually kind of like that idea, less to think about or feel, just press to change FD.

I wouldn't have minded two buttons on the left so you can set one to control a headunit

Gonna wait for the alu version to see if it's worth it causr I'm not paying 1-200€ extra for carbon levers and rear cage

~US$810 for two shifters, calipers, RD and FD and no rotors seems like a pretty bad deal when you can still find Force AXS D1 upgrade kits w/rotors for the same price.

At $650 these would make a lot more sense.

Depends where you are in the world. Force D1 upgrade kits are closer to $1300 USD ($2000 AUD) here in Australia. I expect prices will come down as supply ramps up and the aluminium version becomes available.

First impresions:
- setup / installation was pretty easy - set big ring on front and small on rear, setup fd /rd with limit screws then run first time callibration on both derralieurs. (this calibration works same way as in dura ace 7970 but on another rings - and fd adjustment is possible)
- first ride - i did 70 kms in ugly headwind in mixed terrain, made one stop to correct fd setup and everything works on a 98% precision of di2 7970 that i had previously on this bike (even with my little out of true front chainring and a werid 53/36 combo)
- custom button configuration with app is a big plus, the shifters fit nicely on my palms - i was not able to pair them with my garmin but i dont know if it is even supported (i just give it a try)

They can connect to computers but yeah garmin probably doesn't support it. Igps does

Somebody successfully used it with a 42t cassette

I'm sure it could be configured using a simple connect IQ app if someone made it. I'm surprised WheelTop haven't already done this. Maybe suggest it to them if you're in contact with them.

Sure i will , i have some translation errors in app to report too

TX and OX will be cross compatible?
OX rear derailleur with TX shifters would be the real deal

[toxin]

Very very unlikely, tx can take a 42 cassette anyway

[BigBoyND]

Thats not bad, within 100g of ultegra with battery

Shifting looks fine too, just have to see the reliability now

Then I wouldn't compare it to Ultegra but 105 with a 3rd party crank

Seems to be conflicting information here:

https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/roa ... ipei-2024/

Wheeltop says their shift levers pair with their wide-range mountain bike derailleur, though they suggest that there will be a ready-made alternative for drop bar folks who want a wide-range 1x gearing coming soon.

The replay came within hours: “Hello, this is EDS Aftermarket. Sorry, these two are not compatible.“

Anyone knows how the WHeeltop EDS TX compares to the recent L-TWOO eRX electronic groupset? I've seen some quality issues with the L-twoo from the GCN Performance and TraceVelo youtube channles.

[toxin]

Nobody knows yet, ltwoo has a new revision coming out and wheeltop have barely started selling

I asked Panda Podium if they would be stocking this as it looks promising - they said not at the minute as there are a few major issues with it. Im not sure what these are but would like to see a full review.
