WHEELTOP EDS-TX Electronic Wireless Groupset: Back to the Future? 

I have this groupset on my rim brake TCR, it's going flawlessly for the last 3 months and still on the first charge. My set only came with 1 charger cable though and I notice yours had 2, I contacted Wheeltop and they said 1 was standard, I'd like a second one to be able charge the two parts at the same time but I couldn't get one. My experience; 1) The app is not good and initial calibration is messy, could be improved by using a +/- for calibration rather than numeric. 2) The installed coin batteries in the levers are best replaced with some good quality ones. 3) The dust covers for the charging ports could be improved. 4) Once calibrated the shift quality is good, close to Di2 level on the rear mech but a bit slower on the front. I can compare as I have Di2 on my Bianchi. 5) Battery life is excellent. 6) Subtle branding is great and the lever design and ergonomics is fantastic. 7) Exceptionally easy to fit the set to any frame. 8) Shimano chain worked better than a KMC one on my frame in terms of noise and shift performance. 9) They've updated the app and firmware so that it now integrates with Wahoo / Garmin for gear selection (but they order the gears in reverse so need set it correctly in the Garmin / Wahoo app) which is great that they listen to the customers. I'm interested to see if your experience is the same as mine, I think that you'll get on great with this groupset. It's a really good option to fill the gap vacated by Shimano / SRAM.

Ciao Federico! I own a beautiful Basso Venta Rim Sea Blue for which I purchased an EDS TX Groupset last month. One of the biggest advantages of this groupset upgrade besides the additional comfort and ease of maintenance of an Electronic Groupset is elimitaning the 2 cables of a mech group. It does make the bike quite more cleaner and even though the aero gains are also there but minimal, the asthetic upgrade is a great one. Having before a mechanical Shimano 11spd R8000 I wandered for some time about a Shimano R8150 upgrade but it was quite an expense to make the upgrade of just the components (Shifters, Front, Rear Derraileur, and the additional internal batteries and cables that a Shimano electronic groupset requires. For a third of what the Shimano would've costed I was able to make the upgrade with the EDS TX!!! Also I think the internal battery and cables setting is a thing of the past. This groupset being fully wireless is so easy to set it up on the bike, no hussle of internal cables routing or worring about if your cable detaches while on the road you'll lose the ability to shift. I hope you can also enjoy yours as much as I'm doing with mine, this Rim version I'm sure will be a hit since us Rim brake lovers are quite all over the world. Greetings from Colombia and keep the great content you make coming!

Looking forward to see the build and subsequent test ride ❤

Nice looking forward to your review ❤

Nice! Can't wait for your first impression on first ride. Abraço🙂

Get it on the bike 👏

"Its alive", hilarious ! Race mode looks pretty intense, and I like how you can mix and match components. will be interesting to see how it improves your cycling, cheers.

As someone considering the Wheeltop EDS-TX for my Trek rim brake bike I found this video extremely interesting. A nice close-up view of the components and packaging and a great explanation of the individual parts and how they fit together. Thank you, Federico. (p.s. Love the sculpture on your desk)

Nice........

Doesn’t anybody think it’s dumb that The Big 3 make electronic groupsets that aren’t backwards compatible? Especially for its asking price 😅

Can't wait for the review of the rim brake version. Was thinking of converting but my heart doesn't allow me to go from a lighter mechanical setup 😅

Looking forward to seeing the build Fed, I have thought about getting some Cybrei cranks with aluminium chain rings just to save some more weight. Just out of curiosity how did you get along with the ridenow TPU tubes? I think they're great and have now bought some of the newer improved versions with the anodised aluminium valves with removable cores.

Looking forward to your first riding impressions and more importantly, your 1-year review. You get what you pay for? Maybe.

This should be pretty easy to get on the bike and head out if you already have a chainring and cassette ready to go.

Group set?? Where did you get that awesome cycling sculpture?

Hi, sorry this is out of context from the video, but because you’re one of the few rim brake riders left, I wanted to ask you which wheels would you recommend to someone who’s a beginner cyclist but are an upgrade to some stock wheelset

Can I ask which book that is? I’ve searched online but I can’t find it anywhere. Thank you.

You’re looking very slim. Please do a video on your diet 😊

Will it work with 12 speed Campag cassette?

Ultegra R8000 mechanical rim brake groupset WITH crank and chain £699! Just saying. I would take that any day of the week over this. If you add a crank and chain this wheeltop group is closer to £800 which is expensive

Welcome to the 21st century 🤭

Looking forward to the final fitting..,👍🏾

Oh no! Federico sold out to the ccp! 😢😢
