http://pandapodium.cc - For all your Asian bike parts... except eRX... yet.
@GCPerformance18 and @TraceVelo Join me for an open and frank discussion about LTWOO eRX.
Between the three of us we have thousands of KMs on the groupset, and have tested in all conditions. We've also had our fair share of problems, so this is ~2hrs of us sharing everything we know. It's a very deep dive, so feel free to just listen to it in the background as you get other stuff done.

Created: August 24, 2024The reviewer discusses the LTWOO V3 eRX eR9 electronic groupset based on experiences from three YouTubers (China Cycling, GC Performance, and Trace Fellow). They note that when it works, the groupset performs well with good shifting, braking, and ergonomics, but all three reviewers experienced reliability issues including waterproofing problems, battery connection failures, and front derailleur malfunctions. The reviewer cannot recommend it for everyday consumers due to these reliability concerns.
