L-TWOO RX 12 Disc 2x12s Carbon Road Hydraulic Disc Brake Groupset

The reviewer purchased an L-TWOO RX 12 Disc 2x12s Carbon Road Hydraulic Disc Brake Groupset from AliExpress for £355.21. They note that it is a carbon version and that it could potentially replace Shimano 105. The reviewer provides first impressions, mentioning that the components feel solid and well-built, with good tension in the springs and definite shifts. They also comment on the unique thumb shifter design and express curiosity about its real-world performance. The overall weight of the groupset is 1,221 grams (without hydraulic fluid). The reviewer plans to have an expert mechanic install it and will test it on the road in future videos.

The reviewer details the installation process of the L-TWOO RX 12 Disc 2x12s Carbon Road Hydraulic Disc Brake Groupset, highlighting that the installation was challenging, particularly with cable routing and bleeding the front brake. A significant issue arose when the front brake could not be bled, which was eventually traced to the lever adjustment screw being fully screwed in, blocking the cylinder. After adjusting the screw, the brake worked. The reviewer notes that the groupset had high expectations but encountered problems, and only 58% of poll respondents said they would buy it.

The reviewer, a pro mechanic, finds the L-TWOO RX 12 Disc 2x12s Carbon Road Hydraulic Disc Brake Groupset surprisingly impressive for its price, noting good shifting performance, comfortable hoods, and a clever dual-position lever design. However, he raises concerns about build quality, particularly the misaligned brake caliper mounting holes and chipping paint, and notes that while it doesn't match the big three groupsets in crispness, it shows potential.

The reviewer's first ride with the L-TWOO RX 12 Disc 2x12s groupset was marred by a broken left shifter, which snapped off immediately after assembly. Despite this, the brakes were praised as exceptionally good, and the right-hand shifting worked well. The reviewer noted ergonomic issues with the levers and a fiddly reach adjustment mechanism, and expressed concerns about the lack of support from bike shops for such groupsets.

The reviewer installs the L-TWOO RX 12 Disc 2x12s Carbon Road Hydraulic Disc Brake Groupset on a race bike, noting its premium feel and good shifting performance, but highlights issues with brake cable return on internally routed frames and inability to shift from the drops.

They note it is the first hydraulic groupset from an AliExpress brand and comment on its appearance, saying it looks nice and has gold accents. They weigh the components and compare them to Shimano 105, indicating that 105 is the benchmark. They express excitement to test it on a bike in a future episode.

The reviewer discusses the LTWOO (referred to as 'L2' or 'L2 group set') R9 disc groupset, which they state costs 108 quid on AliExpress. They explain that while cheaper groupsets like this are rarely as good as Shimano equivalents out of the box, with specific tweaks they can come incredibly close to Shimano levels of performance. The video is dedicated to sharing tips for improving the performance of this and similar budget groupsets. The tips cover mechanical shifting, cable routing, component wear, shifter rattle, and the specific process for bleeding the hydraulic brakes, including unique features like a grub screw on the brake lever. The reviewer also mentions that newer LTWOO groupsets have a tension adjustment screw on the front derailleur.

The reviewer tested the L-TWOO RX 12 Disc 2x12s Carbon Road Hydraulic Disc Brake Groupset for six months and 1200 miles. He found it to be a great value, with easy installation, excellent braking performance, and good shifting overall, but noted some issues with 12-speed indexing sensitivity, minor corrosion on some parts, and a potential for carbon lever breakage. He recommends the 11-speed version for better reliability and cost-effectiveness.

The reviewer discusses the LTWOO R9 Disc groupset extensively, highlighting its exceptional value as an alternative to Shimano's 105 groupset. They note it offers hydraulic disc brakes and 11-speed functionality at a fraction of Shimano's price (around £140). The reviewer praises the braking performance as 'absolutely fantastic' and mentions good build quality with features like ceramic brake pistons and replaceable jockey wheels. However, they critique the shifting performance as being slightly inferior to Shimano's, particularly in feel and multi-shift reliability, though this improves significantly when modifying the cable routing. The reviewer concludes it's an excellent value proposition despite minor shortcomings.

The reviewer discusses the LTWOO RX 12 groupset, specifically mentioning the rear derailleur and brake levers from the 12-speed RX groupset. They note that the rear derailleur, originally from the RX groupset, was used as an upgrade on an 11-speed bike, and it worked flawlessly. The brake levers from the RX groupset were also used as a weight-saving replacement, being significantly lighter than the stock aluminium ones.

The reviewer states that the LTWOO R9 Disc groupset is a fantastic option for its unrivaled value. They have used it for well over a year and thousands of miles with zero problems, praising its ergonomics, hydraulic disc brakes, and spot-on shifting.

The reviewer discusses the LTWOO R9 2x11 speed hydraulic disc brake groupset used in a gravel bike build for their son. They mention it's their first time using a budget Chinese groupset from LTWOO and their first experience with hydraulic disc brakes. The groupset arrived well-packed without its original box (a cost-saving measure), and includes shifters, front/rear derailleurs, brake calipers, and hoses. The reviewer notes the brakes came pre-filled with mineral oil and had hoses already terminated into the calipers. Installation required some adjustments, particularly with the shifter mounting screws being awkwardly placed behind the hoods. The reviewer successfully installed and bled the brakes, finding the process less difficult than anticipated.

The reviewer discusses the LTWOO RX 12 Disc 2x12s Road Hydraulic Disc Brake Groupset extensively throughout the video. They mention that the group set is close to being great but has some issues. The shifting is described as perfect, with crisp and reliable performance, but the brake lever travel is initially too long, making braking feel spongy and less effective, especially in the drops. The reviewer later discovers an adjustment screw that fixes the brake lever issue, significantly improving performance. They also note that the group set does not come with rotors, which causes compatibility issues with Shimano rotors. The reviewer highlights the lack of instructions as a major drawback but ultimately finds the group set to be a promising, affordable option once adjusted properly.
