I was always under the impression that these would just be “nice to haves”, but when Zwift announced that they’d be integrating virtual shifting, I just had to get them.

Been considering getting them myself. How did you get them over here?

I was fortunate enough to have a friend visiting family in the Netherlands. So the family ordered them and the friend brought them back.

I must say, given the amount of South Africans I see on Zwift, they really could make it easier for us to get their products.

Received these in the mail today. Hybrid cable/hydraulic calipers, "best of both worlds". And it came in the oil slick colour. Got a bunch of other stuff on the order too (all from temu), but I'll post some detail in the temu thread.  

 

Yet to be tested to see what the quality is actually like, but the fit and finish is better than I was expecting already.

The new GX Dub crank is a bit disappointing… BB already going SQUEAKY…

brakes are better than expected.. Not spongy like the old ones..

What BB shell is it ? 

 

Your old brakes might just have need a good flush.

On that frame, likely the “P” word? 

The wheels-MFG BSA bb on one of my bikes is going on 5y old now. Never been opened. Smooth as a salamander dipped in KY. Remove chain and watch crank spin for days. I have them on all my bikes, including a back up one in my parts bin i found lying on the sales table at CWC one day for half price - like nobody knew what it was. Never grabbed sonething so fast🤣

Then a crunchy BB is very surprising, got little over a year now on the same BB and mine has been flawless  

Have to agree yes.
Cannondale has done BSA on the new road bikes also and It has been a year now without one little squeeck.

Perhaps then a pre-load issue? Or even some grit between external spacers. If im not mistaken, those transmissions are Dub-wide 55mm chainline, so takes a few external spindle spacers on both the drive side and non drive side. I know my xx1 dubs do. (4.5mm drive side) for 52mm. I ‘stick’ mine together with waterproof grease.
