FAQs
1.
What is the difference between cable brakes and hydraulic disc brakes? How do I choose between them?
The cable brake possesses the characteristics of easy maintenance and convenient installation, generating braking force through friction between brake shoes and the wheel assembly.
The disc brake utilizes hydraulic compression to move the brake caliper piston, creating braking force through friction between the brake pad and the disc.
When selecting a braking system, consider personal preferences and the bicycle type. In terms of braking performance, hydraulic disc brakes significantly outshine cable brakes.
Note: When employing carbon blades and lower-quality brake pads, braking power may be insufficient, and performance could be compromised in wet conditions. Additionally, prolonged braking with cable brakes on extended downhill slopes may risk overheating the cable.
2.
What's the biggest advantage of EDS?
The standout advantage of EDS lies in its customizable front and rear derailleurs, seamlessly achieved through the Wheeltop app. These fine-tuning options enable EDS compatibility with various brands of discs, cassettes, and chains, ensuring a consistently smooth shifting performance.
3.
Should I buy hydraulic disc brakes groupsets or only hydraulic disc derailleurs?
While our hydraulic disc brakes are compatible with hydraulic lines from other brands, for optimal performance and product compatibility, we recommend investing in complete hydraulic disc brake groupsets. This ensures the seamless integration of components and delivers the best overall performance.
4.
What speeds is EDS-TX compatible with?
EDS-TX is compatible with 2x front chainrings and 7 to 13-speed rear cassettes. Additionally, it can be adapted to other brands of flywheels. For achieving optimal shifting performance, precise fine-tuning is possible through the Wheeltop app.
5.
What cassette can be used with the EDS-TX?
Front Derailleur: The total value of the gear change range is 16T, with a chain wheel teeth number of 53T.
Rear Derailleur: The total value of the gear change range is 36T.
Minimum Cassette: 10T (minimum) to 11T (maximum).
Maximum Cassette: 30T (minimum) to 36T (maximum).
6.
Can the battery be removed?
Button batteries can be replaced in the hand change, but the front and rear derailleur can’t be removed.
7.
Do the cable brake groupsets come with clamps and cables?
The cable brake groupsets include brake cables but do not come with clamps.
8.
What type of oil is used in the hydraulic dish groupsets?
Mineral oils are used in the hydraulic dish groupsets.
9.
Can I use shimano's products for the clamps, tubes, needles, and olive tips for the oil dish kit? What model is it?
No, the tubing, needles, and olive tips are all proprietary to EDS TX. While clamps can be sourced from other brands, it's important to note that this may not guarantee optimal compatibility, as our hydraulic disc groupsets are designed exclusively.
10.
What size brake discs can I use with the oil disc combo?
Currently, our clamps are compatible with 140mm and 160mm discs size, the pitch of the clamps is 2.2mm.
11.

13.
Is the fuel line filled with oil?
Yes, the fuel line has been pre-filled with mineral oil before delivery to customers.
14.
What's the weight of EDS TX?
The weight of the Cable Brake Combo is 885g.
The weight of the Hydraulic Disc Brake Combo is 1252g.
15.
What type of transmission does EDS use?
EDS utilizes a dual wireless transmission system, incorporating both Bluetooth and ANT technologies.
16.
Is the EDS TX entirely made of carbon fiber?
No, the EDS TX isn't entirely constructed from carbon fiber material. While carbon fiber is renowned for its lightweight properties, it tends to be more brittle when subjected to mechanical stress. To ensure the overall robustness of the components, we strategically incorporate carbon fiber into specific areas—such as the handbrake lever, rear shift upper linkage, and rear shift upper and lower guide plates. The remaining components are crafted from durable aluminum alloy. This thoughtful combination allows the EDS TX to strike a perfect balance between lightweight design and sturdy product quality.
17.
What kind of batteries are used for hand shift?
CR2032 button batteries are used for the hand shift component.
18.
What kinds of brake systems does the Cable Brake Groupsets fit?
The cable brake groupsets is compatible with the U-brake and cable-actuated disc brake systems.
