The new L-TWOO GRT, an incredible value gravel groupset, but is it worth considering over Shimano and SRAM?
SIROKO CLOTHING - 10% off (automatically applied via link below): srko.co/tracevelo
In late 2022, a chinese manufacturer called L-TWOO debuted their brand new, and pretty groundbreaking series of hydraulic disc brake groupsets. They offer incredible shifting and braking performance, for a fraction of the price of the big brands like Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo. I have been using their RX 2x12 road bike groupset for the last few weeks, and the performance on the road is very impressive.
In this episode I will be installing and testing their new GRT 1x12 gravel groupset on my carbon gravel bike. It looks incredible, and has some very impressive specs, including carbon fibre brake levers, fully hydraulic disc brakes, and a clutch mechanism on the rear derailleur to prevent chain drops.
I go through the whole install from start to finish, give my thoughts on the groupset, discuss the cost and weight, and finally hit some gravel trails to put it through its paces.

*VG SPORTS CORRECTION!!* So massive thank you to Luuk Rutten and others in the comments for pointing this out. For the VG sports cassette I actually needed to use a spacer behind the Cassette to make it function! 🤦‍♂Apologies to VG Sports, I'll quickly throw together a video explaining this later!

@biggaywizard Год назад

I'm a former race mechanic and a former mechanic for Trek bicycles, the spacing issue isn't uncommon. There are several companies that make spacers for that issue. It's really just from the cassette being built for a broader tolerance, some 10 speed cassettes don't have the same width as 12 speed so my guess is that it was built for the older spacing. To be honest there's been so many spacing changes over the last ten or so years that even I have a hard time keeping up with all of them.

@lb0538 Год назад

Yeah, it is a mtb cassette for hg a road hg 11s freehub is longer so the freehub is longer than the cassette that is why its loose.

@galenkehler Год назад

Got to say that was a little too harsh on VG (perhaps a little too quick to jump to criticism based on the past experience) Bit sloppy there Trace 😁

@hisdadjames4876 Год назад

Good on you, Luke. Those natural and spontaneous reactions make your content so much more engaging and, of course, you offer a fulsome explanation and apology if you get it wrong…like that shifter lever issue where you missed the adjuster screw😂

@mrhankbotful Год назад

No one is perfect, keep learning new stuff, share it, learn more new stuff! Love the content you're making, don't sweat the occasional mistake, just share what you found out in the next video.

@luukrutten1295 Год назад

The cassette issue is simple enough. You are required to use the 10 speed spacer, required for mounting 10speed on 11 speed road bodies. The spacing of this 12sp cassette is based on the 10sp mountainbike body, which basically still is the same as the old 10speed road body. Mountainbike cassettes never required an upgrade of the spacing since the larger cogs can overhang on the spokes ( if the wheels are properly dished ). This means 11 speed mountainbike cassettes fit 10speed bodys ( also road bodys ) and so do the 12 speed cassettes. I am sure you have one of those spacers somewhere.

@woutervanderdoes5163 Год назад

exactly! I was curious about this one too, since it means I can get a 12 speed cassette on my old 'mtb'

@luukrutten1295 Год назад

This is btw a great hack for using your older 10 speed wheels on modern 11 speed groupsets. Buy an 11-34 SHIMANO CS-HG700 which fits older style 10 speed wheels. Beware that most other 11 cassettes ones wont fit on 10 speed.

@woutervanderdoes5163 Год назад

@@luukrutten1295 (edited) it seems that indeed the 105 r7000 11-34 has a removable spacer, so it can fit 10 speed hubs! That's very cool obscure knowledge, thank you sir. I might try it out to play with different gearing on my 26 incher Also seems like the ultegra HG800 one has the removable spacer. I've got that one laying around, so I might try it soon

@TraceVelo Год назад

Right ok. I did think think this myself actually, so as you suggested, I slapped a spacer behind the VG sports cassette. It mounted fine, but the indexing was WAY off, and the shifting was terrible. Then with the SRAM PG 1230 cassette on the same HG freehub (it's a bog standard 11 speed HG freehub btw), no spacer needed, and the shifting was perfect... I was pretty sure SRAM and Shimano 12 speed cassettes were interchangable...? (EDIT - *I was wrong!* 🤦‍♂shifting is actually fine - See pinned comment)

@johnnyboy4711 Год назад

1st thought i had,put in a spacer

@riemervandenhaak Год назад

Hi luke, just a quick tip from a bike mechanic here ;), when working with hydraulics (especially bleader/removing a hydraulic system) take your wheels out the bike, and take the pads out. Then if some brake fluid spills, you dont ruin your pads/rotors. If you dont plan to reuse those, it does not matter ofcourse ;)

@TraceVelo Год назад

Also forgot to mention, the small issue that I had with the RX road version of this groupset (where the shift lever didn't return fully, sometimes blocking a shift with the thumb trigger), it's not present here at all! The shifting is basically perfect 👌🥖🥖🥖

@itstheterranaut Год назад

On the back of that, Luke- did you work out whether the shift lever could be moved away from the brake lever using the grub screw on the underside? I keep looking at mine, and wondering.... **EDIT Answering my own question: on the R9 11 speed from L-Twoo, a 1.5mm hex key on the grub screw will move the shift lever away from the brake lever.

@squee666 Год назад

also do note i mentioned this before. my sensah/senicx crank i replaced the bottom bracket also i had 600miles clocked before i had clicking cranks under pressure. spent money on a nukeproof horizon one with titanium coated bearings been solid so far and chainreaction sell the bearings. not the cheapest but 800 miles later still no issue. and yeah for cassette wobble you need a 1.85mm spacer on your road hub to fit an mtb cassette. I had this issue when i first built my sensah 11 speed groupset also congrats on removing the conduct kit now you can get a fancy chinese carbon stem PS , Peak Torque RU-vidr makes an adapter that lets you mount hydraulic flat mount brakes with 180mm rotors , he also UK based

@adambarlev8992 Год назад

It's a quirk of the Campagnolo mechanism - same thing happens on my Ekar 1by13 shifter if the levers are depressed at the same time.

@mireia3208 Год назад

Mine are fine in the RX version. Maybe it is just not consistent from unit to unit ? Also mine don't rattle, I checked it. Mine are faultless except for the shifting performance, which is overall ok but no super crisp in all gears, it tends to be a little more lousy in the small cogs.

@bama95 Год назад

I'm sorry about the crash, glad you are ok. Could you possibly use the R9 lever as a temporary replacement? Curious to see if the epoxy repair job comes along as nicely as expected. Ciao! 🥖

@cunvericht Год назад

Great episode Luke, good to see they stepped up the game with solid disc brakes and improved derailleur set up over the GR9. The thumb lever is in a better location over the GR9 and drops multiple gears at a time. 🥖🥖🥖

@edmundhodgson2572 Год назад

Great stuff Luke. The larger numbers on the adapters are for mtbs as they start with 160's where as road bikes start at 140, hence the 20mm difference.

Really appreciate all your effort on making videos through the years on products that are easily dismissed by most youtubers. Bless you sir!!

@michaelmechex Год назад

I'm really sorry about the crash, but also glad you're okay! Those deep ruts can be nasty. I've found moving my center of gravity a little bit back on the saddle helps me keep the steering steady on rough roads. I'd like to see how you go about getting a new brake lever, because I haven't seen any spare parts from L-twoo. Anyway, those cranks seemed a little bit too hollowed out to me, sadly, they were. In my experience the only way to get super stiff, reliable and light cranks is carbon. Aliexpress has been showing me some lovely looking carbon cranks from Racework, maybe they're worth checking out. Altough I got older Sram Force gxp cranks second hand very cheap, and they're amazing.

@lolbubs11111 Год назад

Sometimes the disk brake mounting adapters can be flipped the other direction to fit either 140 or 160 (or 160/180). The other orientation might put the caliper closer or further relative to the wheel hub.

Nice video ! To adjust the stroke of the brakes, you can push out the pistons a little bit and decrease the distance between the disc and the pads. you remove the wheel and you activate the brakes, you have to be careful not to press too much to be able to put the wheel back on

@MrThearijal Год назад

Hi Luke, about the caliper adapters, 140/160 means it's for 140 front and/or 160 rear. 160/180 means for 160 front and/or 180 rear, so you can use the same adapter for rear or front depending on the rotor size

@endianAphones Год назад

I'm not sure if it's that. The front one is usually reversible, but the rear is not (brake mounted directly to the frame). At least on my Cannondale. I think it might be related to some gravel bikes using the same adapters with a 20mm offset. Like using a 140mm adapters to use 160mm rotors, and 160mm adapters to use 180mm rotors, as AFAIK the flat mount standard only supports 140 and 160mm.

@MrThearijal Год назад

@@endianAphones That might true though, I don't have any experience with flat mounted frames, but it's common with these chinese adapter products using codes like that, usually for MTB that often uses big rotors than road bikes

@MrThearijal Год назад

@@endianAphones I think you're right, because the common adapters I was talking about are usually coded F140/R160, F160/R180, and so on

@chefsolidOriginal Год назад

Another mint video, thanks dude

@TimR123 Год назад

I think the 160/180 markings depend on what was the baseline setup. If the bike was designed for 140 originally it would (and did) support the 20mm larger 160. Had your bike come with 160s, the 20mm would have supported 180mm rotors

@TheImprobableIronman Год назад

Great review. As others have said, this really is what the market needs. For the bottom bracket, you can actually extract the bearing from the cup and press a new one in (if you really are on a budget - or simply can't find a replacement). I've done that myself - it's a faff but worth trying. 🥖🥖🥖

@123moof 4 месяца назад

I've been using the GRT groupset now for about 6 months, mostly pretty happy. I went with the aluminum version. The shifting took some getting used to after years on Shimano style, and after a while I really don't mind the difference. Shifting from the drops is easier with GRT than my R7000 for me at least. The shifting mechanism is not as crisp or refined feeling as Shimano, and the upshift has some phantom half-click feelings that can result in not shifting, or getting a double shift if you are not intentional. Braking has been issue free. The left lever has a void where guts would have been, and I wish they filled that up so your left hand sits on the hood just a little different than the right. The "butter zone" for the rear barrel adjuster just a tiny couple click region, and if I did it again I would add an inline adjusted at the front so I could adjust while riding. Overall it does what I needed with minimal fuss, and made for a nice build I don't mind getting muddy or beat up.

@cogsnbanjo Год назад

Unlucky with the crash and glad you're okay. My impression of that was lack of grip at the side of the tyre. You hit an off-camber rut and it sent the tyre sideways. I have done the same in the wet. It is most likely the result of over-inflated tyres, which can bounce off and be deflected by off-camber edges. You need less air in your tyres to allow the tread to distort and grip the side of the rut rather than ping off them. 25-30 psi is the best pressure for gravel I reckon plus get tyres with reasonable grip at the side.

@mrhankbotful Год назад

Brake caliper spacers are 140/160 for the minimum size rotor the mount is designed for (either 140 or 160mm depending on the frame) and the 160/180 is to go from minimum 140mm to a 160mm, or from minimum 160mm to a 180mm rotor.

I think the adapters are numbered both ways as it depends what size rotors your fork/frame is designed to run eg most suspension forks are designed around a 160 rotor, but some are designed for a minimum 180mm so the adapter to take them up to 203 is different to allow for the difference in the frame/fork.

@britonabrompton9912 Год назад

As mentioned elsewhere it looks like you need a cassette spacer to go on the inside of the cassette. I have not worked out the circumstances for using them. It is generally written it is to put a 10 speed cassette on an 11 speed body, but I also think whether it is an MTB cassette also has some bearing here as well. I have 10 and 11 speed cassettes, some need a spacer, some don’t

Oh no glad you are ok. I've not had any issues with the cranks. Some slight creaking when trying to put out the watts. I'm using a FSA BB with a conversion adapter from 30mm to 24. Could the creaking be because the bearings on the BB are shot? I've done a few sample sprints around 500 watts and if they where flexy cranks I would definitely feel chain rub on the FD. I've not had any real issue with that. As far as crank failure, if you can muster 1000 watts on any given ride and you are a smasher these are not the cranks for you. I love to see pic's because some people would like to just bash on products because they are not Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo. What did you use to replace the cranks?

@Membrillo81 Год назад

I guess the brake adapter numbering is because some forks are designed for 140/160 rotors while others are designed for 160/180 rotors. Same for the rear brake, some frames are designed for 140 while others are designed for 160. Depending on your fork/frame you´ll need different adapters in different orientations (or even no adapter at all) to use 140/160/180 rotors. Anyway, yes, the way they printed the numbers doesn´t help a lot.

Great job-thanks. Would you recommend the Conduct system overall? People seem to think it’s a big pain in the butt, but the advantages seem pretty undeniable. What wheels are those? Look very retro cool.

Groupset looks amazing, and I love the detail that you present this. I would love to get one of these, but the price is starting to get a bit out of hand. 1 - I really don't like the campy style button. 2 - These appear to me at over 400€ (+23% custom tax), I can get SRAM RIVAL/FORCE AXS at around 750€ that are wireless...

Hey Luke, nice video I've been looking at some wheels and hubs from jgbike and they are supposedly very good. Since I am very insecure about my wheel / hub choice I kind of wanted to "request" / "suggest" a video on them maybe. They are oriented more towards the mtb side (I want to ride them on my gravel bike), but it seems like a good option...

Spacer behind the cassette for anything larger than 32t on a Shimano hub. Same thing happened to me with a 34t cassette in a Hunt wheel some years ago. Even Hunt didn't realise there was an issue. I did chuckle when I saw that on the video. I bet it's caught out a few home mechanics.

So it's safe to say you've been wooed by L-Twoo? This is a really intriguing groupset. I think I'm gonna finally try one of the groups you recommend. I'm looking to build up a commuter/bikepacking bike and this really looks worth a shot. Thanks for another great review!
