Wireless mountain bike shifting can be expensive - but it can also be cheap.
The L-TWOO Ae is a wireless shifter that works on any rear derailleur from 3-13 speeds. Yep.
It's an interesting device, pretty well built and comes with everything you need - including two batteries.
Setup and adjustments are done from the app (available on both Apple and Android app stores.)
Honestly, it's actually pretty cool.

What could be simpler than a mechanical derailleur? 1-high screw, 1-low screw, along with a barrel cable tensioner. No firmware updates to worry about or batteries to charge.

It's all good and well as long as you have your derailleur hanger and your derailleur cage straight. Once the indexing has gotten compromised, it's quite a challenge to get it back to the flawless operation, it requires some tools and a great amount of trial and/or experience. That is, unless you go with friction shifting, then there is much more tolerance in how out-of shape things can be before you have to fix them.

I went with the GX AXS upgrade kit a few years ago, and was hesitant to install myself because it was pricey so i had Doug @ BikeJunky install it and i absolutely love it, it's moved on to my new bike and i won't go back. I grabbed a 2nd battery because i have run out of mid ride but the battery life is great.

My L -Twoo tester found it not as accurate as Shimano Di2 or SRAM AXS . The battery not being clipped into the rear of the derailleur leaves potential for reliability issues . The eight speed mode wasn't as good as that of 11 or 12 speed . If you write a time - interval mapping script , you can get Shimano Di2 to work on 11 or 10 speed . An IT programmer I know has achieved this .

@@robertmcfadyen9156 wow that's complicated though. I don't know about long-term yet but it is ziptied so there may be issues down the road.

I wish somebody would do something like this for dropper posts.

@VisionMTB 2 дня назад

@@stumpybottums yeah that's an interesting idea. Maybe for externally routed it might be possible.

@@VisionMTB somewhere there's a video on RU-vid of a guy that DIY'd one that fit in the seatpost tube. The servo attached to the bottom of the dropper.

@@stumpybottums this has a 2 speed mode so it's possible. Downside though is you have to toggle it back to lock the post. Who knows, ltwoo might have this in an update. If they continue support

Great technology however flawed by having to install on the stay only with cable ties, so not truly in a fixed position. The slightest bump on the unit will see the whole system go out of whack.

@VisionMTB 2 дня назад

@@jimbo9030 yeah it could be better. I think comprises were made to enable as many install options as possible.

@emp29 День назад

I've had this on my bike for a month already. I go through "big" hits when jumping my bike and it hasn't budged on the stay. I had that same worry at first but I completely forgot about it already and enjoy the easy shifting.

@emp29 День назад

@@VisionMTB just to add but, don't think it's necessary, I added a velcro strap on my battery for added peace of mind.

@@emp29 glad to hear that, thanks for sharing.
