So I own one of these. It is working fine. While it is working. But its quality is nowhere near as good as SRAM AXS. Things not mentioned in this video: 1) No clutch. None. While it has a strong spring, it would still slap the chainstay and drop the chain once you got on the rocky sections. 2) It has bearings with no rubber seals on it. Water quickly gets inside and turns pulley wheels into squeaky, wobbly mess. And no spare pulley wheels are available. 3) General waterproofing is bad. No rubber seals inside. The whole thing is just glued together. Which might have worked except the battery cover is removable. Water gets inside and oxidizes battery contacts. Discharging the device and ruining the battery. No spare battery is available. So when it comes standard on a ~600$ bike, it is fine. But as a standalone product, it is just too expensive.

I'll repeat what I said on another channel: the EDS-OX costs almost the same as an electronic GX, and SRAM is going to release the S-1000, which is supposed to be even cheaper. The point is that SRAM has technical support anywhere in the world, and spare parts and stocks spread around the world. In addition to videos and manuals teaching maintenance in detail, where you can find specifications for everything, even the torque of each screw. On the other hand, the EDS-OX does not have spare parts in stock, it does not have trained mechanics, it does not have video tutorials teaching, it does not have a manual talking about screw torque, and it does not have parts in stock anywhere in the world. In short, it is a product that costs almost the same as an electronic GX and is a disposable product because if it breaks, there is no spare parts or how to maintain it. To be worth the risk of the investment, it should be sold for half the price of an electronic GX or less.

@@euzimeumesmo you bring up some valid points. I’ll try to cover some of this in my upcoming SRAM XO1 AXS versus Wheeltop EDS video. The BIG bike companies are always going to be hard to compete with but I still like to see new companies try. The scale and volume of sales SRAM has allows them to control the market. However, I get what you’re saying. I love SRAM drivetrains. The only difference between SRAM AXS XO1 and GX is the weight and EDS weighs about the same as XO1 even with a larger battery on it. Although the EDS battery isn’t removable. Not saying that justifies the price. I do wish the EDS was a little cheaper, which would in turn make it a lot more marketable… more to follow in my AXS versus EDS video…

@@JaredHoff The cost of Wheeltop EDS is really the biggest problem, although it is debatable that SRAM has an advertising machine that in itself generates costs for the company, such as sponsoring athletes and teams and technical courses all over the world. I do not believe that SRAM controls the market because the price of electronic gears is high and SRAM has also filed some patents that also generate extra costs that need to be compensated. Wheeltop EDS does not have the same engineering structure, advertising, sponsorships and courses. In theory, it should be cheaper; see examples in the automotive market.
