Some good brands / products in there... kudos for going off the beaten path. ;)

folks at GCN: Take these 3 reports by Alex from Eurobike as benchmarks. Don't go back from this! They were outstanding. By far superior to everything I ever watched. No idea who the selection of content happens. Having been on EB that selection seems to be very appropriate. Very well appreciated I in particular as well the density of content - no clutter - no diversion, still convenient to follow. Congrats!

Technically you could argue those bamboo bikes are carbon fiber 🤔

Am running the LTwoo eGR on my gravel bike. So far one slight issue, but that was mostly on me. I had a chain drop (from not cutting it short enough) behind the cassette, binding things, and when I did the derailleur seemed to not work correctly any more. But I just held the button on it and it factory reset, and worked flawlessly since. The ability to micro adjust each gear with the app is fantastic. Did it on a recent ride when 5th and 6th were "clicking" - also can connect to your head unit, tho battery always reports as critical on my Edge 530.

The finish on the Korean wheel set that Alex marveled at is Mother of Pearl created by a Korean artist and representing a Korean art form.

That 100t chainring would be perfect on my climbing bike's cassette

Thanks Alex and crew...love Titanium 3-D printed ....anything , too !

Very cool stuff! Thanks!

As a badminton player who cycles those titanium frames with that shuttlecock gives me the fizz

finally, GCN get into Hall 9 and the Chinese brands! Ltwoo, titanium frames, decent hubs and cheap power meters.. great stuff Always makes me laugh how impressed Alex is by bling, too! ooh, special anodising!

It's odd that the L-Twoo's ability to be used on 10,11,12 speed setups impressed you so much, but the Wheeltop that can be used on 3 to 14 speed systems (yep 14, when they make them) didn't even get a mention? 🤔

Nice video on the 'second tier' products at the show. Well paced and good images to really see them. You asked if any of us have used these products yet. I put the LTWOO eGR group on my gravel bike two months ago. As you point out, it can support 10-12 speed setups for compatibility with the rest of the drive train which is great if you've already got two wheels with cassettes, cranks etc in wide range 11s and hate to spend on replacing that. In my case it was to replace a mechanical Force 1 that was modded to support a 11-50 cassette. The LTWOO only specifies to 46t but it is running well on my 50t. Setup was simple and relatively no fuss. (some wire routing creativity needed but that was due to my frame not the groupset). Shifting is crisp and precise. I don't have enough time yet to say anything about reliability. And while I've washed the bike with a hose without incident but I haven't had rain here yet (there were early reports with the road version about water ingress). My only real complaint is that both shifters have identical paddles but the only thing you can do with them is decide whether to shift on the left OR right side. No ability to use both in combination etc. LTWOO support told me they are considering options in an update but nothing yet. (I'd love to see an option to use them up/down L/R like AXS paddles)

I know! I knooow!!! ..GCN haven't got the budget for it, but.. I'd love to see a bike build, with all of those 'unknown' parts, and see how it performs. And if possible..Make it beautiful <3 Those wheels, the oversize pullies', the bling crankset, a.s.o.. ..Make . It . Happen . .

I loved that video! Anything to do with beautiful engineering is like catnip to me.

L2 will soon be a brand that will take on the big 3 with price and the shifting

I have Wheeltop EDS groupset. It work great. What is even better is price - got it for 640euro! For me, solution with 1 buton for front derauleur is great, as there is twoo gers in the front you push the same button to change one of gears to other. Regarding shifting speed, you can switch in app to ''racing mode'' and gears going to shift much faster. As i understand, it's made for battery economy. Have this group for 5 month and used to charge it only once after made some thousands km. This is my first electronic group and i am very happy to have it.

That is a cute little chainring, says José Meiffret 😂

Myboo - sounds like a huge greenwashing venture. If you want to help people in Ghana, just build a factory there and employ them and teach them modern manufacturing materials, techniques and processes. BTW, their cheapest gravel bike costs over 3k EUR.

Good to see GCN moving away from trying to make people replace their 15K road bikes each year and promoting/reviewing alternatives.
