* Please Note * This is a revised version of the original video uploaded on 21/10/24. If you’ve watched the original, there really isn’t anything new in this version! Explanation - Near the end of the previous video (Roughly 12 minutes in), I used a piece of background music that I thought was an old un-copyrighted UA-cam track, it wasn’t, it was a piece of copyrighted music. I have therefore removed the previous version, edited it, and uploaded it again with un-copyrighted UA-cam music. This did however also give me the opportunity to address the audio issue some had mentioned (Justified!!) and also add the Wheeltop disclaimer that I had recorded, but forgotten to include. Sorry for any confusion caused.
Getting a few more miles in.... was out with it yesterday and thinking how good it feels, really does shift well. The battery does seem to be displaying accurately, from what I've seen so far, but for some reason, my head unit thinks the GeX is a 2x, and is showing the front derailleur as being dead. To be honest though, I've not tinkered to try and sort this yet.
A couple of questions, if you don't mind (to anyone who might know); 1) Hydraulic hoses and levers compatibility. - How do I know which hydraulic hoses are compatible with which levers? - with or without needing to change olives, barbs etc - ? For instance, are Shimano SM-BH90-JK - compatible with most other Shimano levers, and with Wheeltop, L-TWOO and Sensah? 2) From my understanding the above mentioned chinese groupsets levers (if I wish to buy just the levers on their own), are compatible with shimano's derailleurs. Scenario example; I've got Shimano 105 R7000 front and rear dérailleurs - unused/spares parts - and a bike with hydraulic grx 400 calipers in use with SM-BH90-JK hoses (10 speed). My aim is to upgrade from 10speed to 11speed mechanical but keeping the hydraulic brakes/hoses currently on the bike. By just buying compatible Shifters/levers - from one of the Chinese groupsets - as they're more affordable than the shimano's 105's etc. Any recommendations/comments are most welcome. Thank yous'. I'm having to keep postponing any entertaining thoughts of upgrades to eletronic for the same reason, costs that is.
I Wonder if it is possible to mount the medium or large derailleur cage on their road derailleur - that would provide us with a Super Super versatile gruppo - Right ??? THANKS
i do find it annoying that you cannot just pair the GeX RD with the road shifters. wouldve made it also easier and, for rim users to be able to run 1x with dinnerplate cassettes
I'll be honest, SyLensCC, I've not tried pairing my old TX shifters. However, as WheelTop offer it with the road shifter, I'd be surprised if it wasn't possible. Would be interested to hear more on this.
hate how they name it hardest gear as a no. 1! any time i look on my computer i see inaccurate gears as this naming- mean when im on 10 gear (almost the hardest gear) of 11 i see on my display no. 2! it is no computer fault but wheeltop software issue/policy. For wheeltop hardest gear is named 1!- that stupid. I guess in china they move a car with gear no. 6 :D and fastest gear is 1 :D lol. (they must all ride a electric cars as they do not know that principles :D).Very bad

Nice to see some miles put on the GeX. Thanks. A question for you about head unit pairing: Does the battery status show correctly?

YES! 😎💯👍

It's a good question, and I'm not sure. I'll look into it.
@@ribblevalleycyclist THANKS
Tell me please rear transmition gx will working with shifters tx?
Hi. Noticed that the gear graphic on the GX is the correct way round. Do you know if the TX graphic has been amended yet?

@@ribblevalleycyclist This issue has just been covered by Oz cycle in a recent video. I think the conclusion was yes
9/10 times I don't hear any background music.
I will stick with the Cadillac of electronic shifting......SRAM
