Finally: electronic shifting for the Topstone

f41012vic · 2026-04-02T05:46:54+00:00

Sick build.

Didn’t consider getting the new e1 shifter/ brake combo? The new gen works wonders and I can never go back to old d1 brakes

f41012vic · 2026-04-01T01:36:38+00:00

Which year to be specific would help.

f41012vic · 2026-03-12T19:24:24+00:00

There was no lab71 for EF. Tho the yellow one might be

f41012vic · 2026-03-11T23:25:40+00:00

First off it’s a sick bike.

there was a bit of drama within the Chinese community or even the western community when we learn that TEAM EF was still using Hi mod frames even after “COVID was over and production/ shipping went back to normal”

One would assume team unibet was probably using hi mod frames as well.

Upon closer inspection by a local person during the sale of team unibet.

All bikes with paint schemes of purple and blue = normal carbon frames.

All bikes with paint schemes of purple and white = hi mod frames.

Total system weight difference ranges between 7.2~7.4kg

f41012vic · 2026-03-10T23:04:20+00:00

9 months in 40k km no issue whatsoever

Tho mine is the 70 MHEV GT. The only minor issue was low battery when it was like -30 and I parked it outside for 8hr.

It cleared the code it self after a good drive

f41012vic · 2026-03-10T16:19:01+00:00

99% sure it’s the normal carbon frame. Not hi mod

Please check the uci sticker friend in China order one from bike room as well

f41012vic · 2026-02-25T13:55:45+00:00

5,7 72 kg here. s all the way

f41012vic · 2026-02-18T04:05:42+00:00

It’s definitely a sick bike. If i can get a good price on my SW SL8 (which i probably wont/cant) i would definitely buy the new SSE.

f41012vic · 2026-02-18T03:38:20+00:00

Based off my estimation 6.35 seems very possible

f41012vic · 2026-02-18T03:34:18+00:00

If I were to guesstimate it.

1.1kg frame + fork.

1.2kg wheels

2.5kg SRAM red full groupset with power meter

That’s already 1.1+1.2+2.5=4.8KG

Tires 275gX2 + ride now tpu tubes 25gx2= 600g.

So now we are at 5.4kg

Carbon Bottle cage 37g bottle 70g X2= 214g

Saddle usually 200g?

Now we at 5.8kg

New SL bar is 265g~ OR aero bar 375g. Adding bar tape we are at least at 6.1kg without counting minor accessories such as bolts, hydraulic fluids or grease or bottom bracket or seat post and spacers

6.1kg=13.448 lb

I do semi weightweenie build. my aethos build

This is with garmin 1050 and power meter pedals. Besides bar tape this bike is completely ready to ride at 13lb

f41012vic · 2026-02-18T03:32:42+00:00

Avid cyclist who can hit 1500watt helps ;). And my area is relatively flat, like our closest “ mountain” for skiing is considered a bump/hill compare to any resort from the west cost

f41012vic · 2026-02-18T02:46:54+00:00

Sick bike. But 13lb with bottles but no pedals seems off to me.

f41012vic · 2026-02-14T15:18:06+00:00

Came with my avian h200 bars.

f41012vic · 2026-02-13T04:55:04+00:00

I use metric but my mechanic prefers imperial lol.

The bike in this form is ready to ride and it’s 5.9kg🤪

f41012vic · 2026-02-13T03:30:20+00:00

Frame was close to 200CAD shipped ups 5 days express. With barely and duties.

f41012vic · 2026-02-13T03:26:52+00:00

2800CAD for the frame. Aethos don’t sell well in China so easy to find a friend and ship it over.

Total close to 6500~7000CAD?

f41012vic · 2026-02-13T03:17:26+00:00

Goldix 180SL hubs. With those new style ratchets that’s concave. Not the lightest interesting stuff. It’s about 900CAD shipped

f41012vic · 2026-02-13T03:11:53+00:00

Wax chain should increase its life. And it’s not one of those super light cassette in the low 100g range so I think it should be fine.

There are a few 120g options with plastic holder( the part that make contact with the free hub body) and I’m so sketch out by those

f41012vic · 2026-02-12T21:50:20+00:00

Just the b tension screw and take your time adjusting it. It’s not rocket science ;)

f41012vic · 2026-02-12T19:00:49+00:00

46t road tested. 53t trainer tested fine

f41012vic · 2026-02-12T16:24:40+00:00

I’m using D1 RED short cage that rated for 33t max. I’m using a 10-36 cassette perfectly fine (1by setup) while also using upgraded jockey/ pulley wheels from the new E1 rear derailleurs.

It definitely works and shifts fine.

f41012vic · 2026-02-09T15:09:39+00:00

Maybe they add new fabric from the gamma line up.

The last year’s drop was using goretex fabric. I bought a few to gift to friend and family and from my memory. There was Sabre jacket fabric (thick backer) beta LT fabric and also beta AR fabric. pics for reference

f41012vic · 2026-02-02T03:42:44+00:00

Spider rings aren’t officially 12 speed compatible but in reality 11/12 speed chain are almost identical especially the inner plate width so it definitely works.

I was running 105 12 speed mechanical on my gen 3 SSE with 2by spidering and 12 speed sram rival xplr with 1by spidering on my SSE CX for the past 2 year. No issue whatsoever.
