  • This video share my experience of installing and using the Chinese wireless electronic groupset: WHEELTOP EDS TX.
    This groupset has two versions: DISC BRAKE and RIM BRAKE. The one I try is RIM BRAKE. Rim brake bikes now have cheaper groupset to setup as electronic 12 speed, so happy.
    This is the official website of Wheeltop:

    This is a link with some discount:
    wheeltop.refr.cc/save123
    I saw AliExpress sells this product, too.
    I have been using it for about a month. Compare to SRAM, the installation is not as easy as SRAM, also the speed is not as fast as SRAM, other than that, the groupset works fine, no issue yet.

    I had the same experience setting this up as well on my rim brake Ritchey. Be prepare to spend hours figuring this out, but eventually it'll work.

      "disposable" only in the strictest possible sense. It will last 5-10 years and for £400-600 (depending on where you source the groupset and when - I got mine for £370 on AliExpress on a sale with additional coupon discounts) how is that a deal-breaker?

    I really like that they use the same logic as Shimano on shifting the gears. Altough Sram is fully wireless but using the left lever to go one way and the right lever to go another way on the cassette and push both levers simultaneously to change gears on the front was always an illogic idea from Sram. Love this groupset. Seriously started to think to get one.

    • @einundsiebenziger5488
      @einundsiebenziger5488 Месяц назад

      Sram's way of shifting electronically is totally logic, you just have to get used to it. With Shimano you have to pay more attention to hit the right button.

      @@einundsiebenziger5488 Well, you can get used to mostly anything, even if its not logic. I've referenced "their" lack of logic to the manual systems. Only Shimano followed that. I prefer Sram's wireless approach but I like Shimano's lever logic. So actually EDS is the winner for me.

      I love how sram shifts…really enjoying this groupset too though. But out off all the brands I like the way you change gears on sram. Although this doesn’t mean it the best.

    With the front derailleur you should use the adjustment bolt

  • @becyk_du_quebec
    @becyk_du_quebec Месяц назад

    Does adjusting the FD to shift better mess up the auto trim? For di2 the FD will shift correctly and then adjust to the trimmed position, I wonder if EDS does the same or if it just goes directly to the trimmed position (which could explain the bad shifting).

    My big fear for this is that its going to get hit by Shimano and SRAM patents and disappear from the market. Shimano holds lots of auto-trimming patents and SRAM has patents around batteries on wireless derailleurs (hence lots of wireless groupsets having wires connecting a battery pack to the derailleurs) - both features this groupset sports.
