    I Upgraded My Old Rim Brake Bike with Wireless Electronic Shifting - WheelTop EDS TX

    The reviewer discusses their experience with the Wheeltop EDS TX Rim Brake wireless electronic groupset, which they used to upgrade their 2012 Scott CR1 Pro rim brake bike. They highlight the ease of installation, wireless functionality, and the modern feel it brings to an older bike. The reviewer notes the groupset's performance in various conditions, including rain, and appreciates its precision and micro-adjustment capabilities for the rear derailleur. However, they mention some stiffness in the shifter hoods and minor issues with front derailleur setup and chain rub.
