Done 3000km on mine. Friend of mine did 6000km. Replaced a chain at 5000ish. No complaints. Works as it should. We did get an experienced mechanic to fine tune it for us. Wasn't as smooth before he tuned it. He'd never used the app or seen the groupset. He spent 10min or so playing around with it and said it was easier than any other app.

2,000KM on my LTWOO ER9 ( the brother down to the ERX) and it’s been amazing to me. Only minor issue I had was that my shifter button would stick and always go to my easiest gear on the rear derailleur but that has seen been fixed (not sure how, perhaps software update). Shifting is so smooth, app is great. It’s only going to get better from here. Has not experienced any problems in Vancouver winter(rain heavy weather). I’ve charged the groupset twice. Currently debating putting this on my race bike to replace Ultegra r8020. My advise to make this group set great - use a shimano chain (sram flat top sticks to the rear derailleur pulleys) - use their shifting set up and individually tune each gear

One thing I haven't found or noticed is the ability to save profiles for say, different wheelsets and freewheel setups. If it is in the app, I didn't come across it. Otherwise, solid groupset, and nice to have a 3rd alternative out there for wireless shifting.

I’ve put about the same distance into my eRX set. Apart from an early failure of the rear derailleur which was replaced free of charge it has been working flawlessly. Interestingly I have recently had the same issue with the up shifting. It seems to shift 3 gears with one touch on the shifter. I’ll have to have a look at the springs you mentioned. It’s actually been behaving though so don’t know why it happened. Either way I love it. Smooth, quick and the braking feels very solid. I live the feel of the grips too. They are slimmer than the shimano Ultegra so feel slicker. Enjoy the pasta! 🥖🍝

Got my eRX delivered in november 2023 and finished the build early 2024. Put out about 1200km since then and had no issues at all. Everything was working so well, I even completely forgot to charge it after the first 100% and the battery died on a ride after about 650km with lots of climbing and therefore a decent amount of shifts. Because of the issues by Joe, Grant and yourself I was at first not very happy with my decision to place the order. Now I would for sure recommend the groupset without hesitation.

First of all thank you very much for your review. It's very useful. It helped me understanding that's not a real point buying this group-set over the Sram Apex AXS that comes fully equipped with cranks as well. The price difference doesn't really compensate the risk of having a problematic unit. That's the main issue here. I still have the feeling that quality assurance with these products is a big question mark and a kind of a lottery.

I just installed the ER9 groupset this week. Performance has been amazing for the $350 USD sale price I paid for the groupset. I had some issues with the battery cabling, but that has more to do with the frameset I was using. Also it seems LTwoo has ironed out many of the early problems. I also used the opportunity to swap over to a 12 speed cassette, because why not? This has to be the most user friendly electronic groupset on the market. Easy to service mineral oil hydraulic braking, user replaceable batteries, cassette speed flexibility and the ability to fine tune the gearing are all phenomenal. Keep up the good work as well! 🥖🥖🥖

Good video man. Rim brakes and mechanical shifting on my road bike till I die. I keep everything clean, lubed and fine tuned myself, so everything works flawlessly. Very few things that can go wrong on mechanical if properly maintained. Lots more stuff that can go wrong on electronic shifting. Even a simple battery contact will stop everything from working. Or a simple dry joint in the electronic printed circuit. Not for me thanks. To each their own 👍🏼☮️

Hi Luke, my erx was working faultlessly for about 3 months which with the amount of riding i do is about 1000ish miles, then after a recharge of the batteries the shifters no longer worked. I could shift gears using the app but the shifters weren't playing. I changed the coin style batteries in the shifter and tried to bind the shifters to the derailleurs. But no joy. Like you i replaced the rear derailleur with one i had on another bike i have just built and immediately everything started working as it should do. So there is definitely a problem with the rear derailleur. I am now in communication with Ltwoo to try and get this sorted and hopefully get a replacement rear derailleur under warranty.

Hi Luke. I’m still on my LTWOO eRX groupset and loving it. Been flawless apart from the intermittent multiple downshifting which, after some Tweaking using the app, seems to have gone. One other thing I’ve notice though is crash mode. I think there is one. I was climbing a steep hill, was up on the pedals, changed gear and heard a loud snap. After that the whole groupset stopped working. No manner of button pressing would wake it up. The only way to get it up and running again was to limp home on one gear and attach the charging cable. All perfect again. Weird. In future I think I’ll carry with me a 9v battery and a fashion a similar magnetic charging lead to prevent it happening again. Of course I’ll be buying the rechargeable 9v battery and lead from Ali Express! I’ll let you know how I go. Love you chanel. JP

Early adopter of erx here. At first the groupset charging light didn't flash. Battery ran low very quickly, i had to send my battery pod (expensive :/, but let's call it ocassional chinesium tax) they told me they would refund me the shipping costs, but it hasn't happened since the say they can't give me money, i guess i could ask for some brake pads, not ideal but i would eventually need them anyways. At the end it was the RD causing the problem. They sent me a replacement RD (half of the cage was aluminum lol) i swapped for the original carbon cage mainly because black paint/anodizing? falls very easily. Everything smooth since then. My only complaint is that trimming is not always perfect while in the middle of the cassette, sometimes i have to trick the groupset to use the next cog trim setting for the front derrailleur by up-shifting -> trim -> down-shifting again, maybe i am not adjusting my groupset right.

I installed the product about 6 months ago and traveled 2000km. I'm not satisfied at all: I've got a SRAM 12s 10-28 cassette and a Racework 170mm 50-34 at the front. The front derailleur has a lot of difficulty going from small to large, I tried to adjust the limits from the application but if you exceed it the chain falls. The rear derailleur is not that bad but you have to spend a lot of time making micro adjustments on the gears as it is very imprecise. I wanted to try it after watching several videos but my advice is to spend a little more by purchasing a SRAM or Shimano so you can be sure of perfect functioning. Customer service is almost non-existent, they respond with messages from a bot and after a long time.

Great video. Thanks Luke. Do you know if Ltwoo or sensah have any plans to produce bar end shifters? Id love to be able to put these on my rim brake TT bike.

Sadly mine died today during a ride. Not even 6 month old. Rear derailleur motor turns but the derailleur is stuck in the smallest cog. Went there from the middle of the cassette by itself. Neither a reset, new shifter battery nor charging the main battery does anything. Front derailleur is working still fine...

Have you tried the 'Calibration' setting on the app? This resets whatever position the rear derailleur is in to gear 7, then allows you to shift either side of that. Can help if it has 'lost' it's position.

Yeah I did try that. No movement Together with ltwoo it was diagnosed as a gearbox failure and they will send me a new rear derailleur. Annoying but at least I will be operational soon enough.

i have just finish my bike nd i mounted a ER9, it was the cheaper solution, and all the process went smooth. the most complicated part has been (or maybe "is") the fine tune of the front derailleur. i really don't know if the issue is related to my setup but it is complicated.

12 months in, the shifters have lost connectivity to the mech. The gears will still change using the phone app. Replaced both batteries in the shifters but can't seem to re-pair the shifters with mech. Very disappointed as until recently this groupset was working really well.

Ciao Luke!!! I'm really impressed seeing your third-person action video. Why not making a video about that? In particular about on how to mount the camera on the bike and what to use to do so (I tried with insta360 one r, with very bad results), so it would be interesting to know some advices from you!! Bye!

I have the Ltwoo groupset too. But the alloy Version. No issues with water till now. But had a crash and one shifter broke. Contacted the Store and got spare parts very fast and no big payments. I rode the bike the hole last Winter in Germany. So gar only the issue with Garmin. Always at start up i got the message tha the battery is empty. But 10 Seconds later after quit the message the battery is full. And i think IT would be better to have some cover over the charging Port.

Hey Luke - bought my ERX group set after many vid reviews (Inc yours). Super happy with it. This past week though I got into a bit of a tangle with the lever reach grub screw. After managing to over screw and remove from the rear, I tried to screw back in from the front, only for the threads to get stuck in the carbon. After a few twists, I ended up stripping the head. Totally my fault. I've managed to take out and put back the levers, managing to figure out the springs at the top of the lever. Contacted Ltwoo to see if they can send replacement carbon lever only (not full hood). Getting radio silence though this past week. Any contacts you might share or pass on my request? 🥖

@tracevelo this will probably get lost in the comments, but have you seen the LTWOO Ae 3-13 electronic shifting adapter for any derailer? I bought it, and it essentially turned multiple derailers into fully electronic. For less than $130!. It’s pretty great! I would love to see you do a review. It’s based on the old X shifter which failed due to bad management.

Can you spray water from different angles : from the front, from rear, from bottom, top, from the left whilst cranking and shifting on both derailleurs? I think this will determine the water-proof-ability once and for all.
