LTWOO-Road Bike Derailleurs, Chain Cassettes, Groupset for R7000 R5800 2X11V, 2x11 Speed, 22S, FD + RD + KMC X11, 11V Kit
Created: December 21, 2024The reviewer discusses converting an old 8-speed bike to an 11-speed turbo trainer bike using a budget L2 (LTWOO) groupset. They mention the LTWOO-R9 components, which include shifters, front and rear derailleurs, and a KMC X11 chain. The reviewer highlights the affordability and quality of LTWOO parts, noting they are building a reputation alongside other Chinese manufacturers like Sensah and WilTop. They specifically mention the R9 shifters, front and rear derailleurs, and the included KMC X11 chain, though they express skepticism about the chain being a genuine KMC product. The reviewer is impressed with the ergonomic feel and build quality of the LTWOO parts, particularly the shifters, which have integrated paddles and thumb toggles. They also note the need to ensure the correct type of front derailleur (braze-on vs. clamp-on) for the frame.
