An incredible value Chinese carbon road bike, built using the new L-TWOO eRX 12 speed electronic groupset and a Trifox frame.

Carbon road bikes with full internal cable routing and electronic 12 speed groupsets are incredibly expensive. For example the new Specialized Tarmac SL8 with Dura-Ace Di2 is an eye-watering £12,000.
In this episode, I am building a very similar bike to an SL8 or an SL7, but all the parts come from lesser known Chinese brands, including the 12 speed electronic groupset. The bike came out very nicely, the groupset is fantastic, and the final cost and weight is pretty incredible in my opinion.
In this episode, i'll cover all of the parts used, show the build process, and then give you my thoughts on the bike after a few hundred miles in the saddle. I’ll also go into detail on the L-TWOO eRX groupset, and cover some of the known issues.
Also big thanks to ‪@ChinaCycling‬ and ‪@GCPerformance18‬

Grant mentioned in an update that it was a jiggly battery that was the issue. Apparently earlier versions of the battery tube used a leaf spring to hold the battery in place. It has since been replaced with a conventional spring. The fix for Grant was simply bending the leaf a bit to increase te, apparently

Your vids are very watchable, and compelling. I have bought several products based on your vids (pedals and saddle), and am motivated to go a similar route with my next roadie as this bike. Thanks again for the massive time investment in these vids. You would no doubt be successful at whatever you apply yourself to. Brisbane Australia

Congrats on the 100k, well deserved! Awesome in-depth look at the groupset and the new bike, exciting stuff! However, it seems unfair to compare the price of 105 Di2 to ERX when you don't disclose the cost of the drivetrain components of the Ltwoo groupset in the same shot, which is included with the Shimano group. Edit: I've also just noticed that there is a big difference in pricing if you buy the Ltwoo components when you're located in the Netherlands (±830 euro) or in the UK (±625 euro). For comparison, a complete 105 Di2 groupset can be bought for about 1025 euros over here. 😅
@TraceVelo
@TraceVelo 10 месяцев назад
Yeah this is fair. I tried to find a comparision for 105 Di2 where it is sold with only the shifters, derailieurs, and brake calipers, but there isn't an equivalent unfortunately. If you can stretch to 105 Di2, or find a good deal on it, I would probably reccomend that over the L-TWOO... Unless you want to stick with your 11 speed components, then L-TWOO def has the upper hand....
@stevewilliams5428
@stevewilliams5428 10 месяцев назад
@@TraceVelo You could do a cost comparison between an Ltwoo plus 105 components to make it a groupset... against buying a 105 groupset complete. I doubt there would be much difference. Even if the Ltwoo/105 combination was say £200 cheaper I'd still go complete 105 for compatibility, quality, spares, warranty and peace of mind. I'd be difficult to convince otherwise.
@anders6383
@anders6383 10 месяцев назад
Luke I really like your videos and agree that the group set is good value. Though it isn’t accurate to compare the price of ERX to 105 di2 without adding the cost of the cranks, cassette, and rotors to ERX as those are included with the price shown for 105 di2. Aside from that little thing great video as usual mate.
@TraceVelo
@TraceVelo 10 месяцев назад
Yeah this is fair. I tried to find a comparision for 105 Di2 where it is sold with only the shifters, derailieurs, and brake calipers, but there isn't an equivalent unfortunately. However if you bought the 105 Di2 stuff separately, or lumped in my chosen crankset, rotors, chain, and cassette with the eRX groupo, i still think it would come out much cheaper...

One tip guys - in one of Luke's build he put some fiber grip paste inside the steerer tube for the expander plug to hold better. I tried it and I strongly advise not to put it. The paste is greasy and the addidtion of fiber glass particles does not help. Even if I tighten the expander bolt to maximum, it still slips upwards when tightening the stem cap which makes preloading the headset bearings impossible. Without the paste there is no problem.
@engnelsito
@engnelsito 10 месяцев назад
Grip paste makes sense between two carbon fiber surfaces, such as between a carbon seat post and the seat tube, as the particles can indent in the resin on both surfaces and prevent it from slipping. I don't think it has much benefits in a carbon to hard metal interface, such as an expander plug and steerer tube, apart from what you say: it actually makes it greasy and even more likely to slip.

@TraceVelo
@TraceVelo 10 месяцев назад
Yeah the aluminium chainrings on the Racework crank are pretty soft, and they are quite thin to save weight. I will say that you can quite easily swap out the chainrings for a new one. Senicx do a good one for about £40 if i recall....

Like it would be interesting to get your opinion of the groupset after 1000 miles, 2000 miles, 3000 miles etc. Even if it's always the same and keeps working fine, it would give people a better idea how these chinese parts hold up over time.
