The EDS is a wireless derailleur and shifter engineered in China by Wheeltop. THE EDS promises to offer similar performance to Sram AXS, with good battery life, chain retention, and wireless performance. Today we're going to find out if that's true!
The unit featured in the video is pre-release, and so the firmware and app are not 100% finished.

Been waiting for this. This product just forced SRAM and Shimano to do variable speeds on their next gen derailleurs, not because they didn't think about it, but because they intentionally withheld it so they could charge more money for a so called "upgrade". This is now an expectation at no additional cost. Great review.

Too bad SRAM or SHIMANO don’t own the IP for speed configurable electronic bicycle drivetrains.

@WordupG Год назад

I doubt it. They will try to pretend this doesn’t exist for awhile. Eventually when that doesn’t work they will demonize it or potentially sue them. When all else fails, they will release a new product with some intangible benefit like 13-speed. There’s no way they’re gonna let you buy a cheap 10 or 11 speed cassette (or off-brand) to pair with their top drivetrain. Personally, I have no loyalty to either of the big two brands. They’ve stifled competition for long enough. I’ll buy this when it’s up to snuff. Hope they make a decent dropbar shifter someday too. BTW, Can you imagine perfectly spaced shifts for all the cheap cassettes out there!

The derailler cage length is different when using a 50thooth vs a 42 tooth or 36. The longer it is, the stiffer the clutch has to be and the chain will still move more. Look at DH 7sp derailleur , a lot smaller…

Sorry for those poor translation in the manual😂, “轮峰” is a small company in China, it used to make entry level OEM products like Chainring or crank. the Application problem might because it only can downloaded in China( where google play is banned).

The fact that you can actually use it from 9 to 13 gears without buying new hardware is amazing, while other companies just lock their hardware to a fixed number just so you buy their newest version which might not be any better.

You’re pretty much cutting the shifter cable and adding a motor near the chainstay to “wire” it to the rear mech. It still uses wires, albeit a shorter one. The speed which the remote shifts the motor has been proven to be slower than cable actuated. Archer released a battery upgrade to combat this known problem but I’m not sure if it solved it.

Hi, I suffered a big injury. I have been recovering but is not going to be the same as before for a long time. Went riding again but couldn’t finish the trail, got help and went back. Someone told me to get a e-bike conversion for one of my MTB’s or hybrid so I go on riding again with the assistance I need. I would love to see you get, a Bafang e-bike conversion. I really not going for a e-bike “per se” bike for the moment and the crank assist system seems like an option. Keep it Seth, blessings to you and your family

I would be curious to see how it handles impacts. I wonder if it moves out of the way, then back to its original position like Axis. 🧐

That's probably one of the most important properties. Derailleurs are kind of consumable items for me, and thrashing 400 bucks because it behaves poorly when being hit is a no-go.

Hey Seth, would be great to see how a 29 fork feels when installed on a bike originally on a 27.5 fork. I've seen some good deals on 29 forks but no luck on 27.5 yet. Thanks

Great vid and as others has said be good to see how this works long term. Went looking for it and click the links as well as did search's but couldn't find it for sale even the company's website hadn't it listed maybe it's that I'm in the UK

Check the directions about the upper and lower limit screws. If it’s at all like Shimano, there should be a small clearance between the screw stops and the derailleur body when set correctly. If the derailleur ends up constantly contacting/resting on the limiters, it could cause battery drain or excessive wear on the derailleur motor.

Only $640 :/

That cost more than my DIY ebike. But, hey, good to see cheaper option than the overpriced branded stuff.

Buy 2 and send me one!

I guess this is the price you can offer when you cut down on the R&D of fine-tuning ergonomics, good user manuals in many different languages, actual product photos rather than Photoshop abominations and probably thorough testing. It might still work, but when you buy from well known brands, you can usually expect some guarantee that it will work, even in some more difficult situations.

The awesome thing is now we have a good video to go back to when we buy one!

If the company was smart, they’d pay close attention to this video and the comments and make changes. 🤙🏼

I want to say something important. So I've first started using electronic shifting 3 years ago in 2019, I am using Shimano XT derailleur and it's been very consistent, so no problems with it so far, the battery lasts for months, it lasts so long that I don't even remember when I last charged it haha Maintenance, NONE other than making sure your derailleur doesn't get too dirty so when I wash my bike I scrub the derailleur as well. My thoughts on this Chinese product is that is totally worth it, electronical shifting is always perfect and doesn't need any maintenance compared to mechanical shifting which can be a bit problematic because of shifting cables loosening in time.
