Have a question? See our FAQ
Is my bike frame compatible with the R7? What are the specific requirements?
The R7 13-speed system is compatible with standard frames and universal derailleur hangers. The 14-speed system requires a UDH-compatible frame paired with the WHALEROAD dedicated 14-speed UDH hanger (model UDH-14).
Both speed options require a chainstay length (RC) of ≥410 mm and a standard 11-speed Shimano HG-L freehub body (base height 36.8 mm).
Can this R7 groupset be used for 11-speed or 12-speed?
Yes, absolutely. You just need to use the APP to select the correct speed cassette profile, then fine-tune it with the Global Offset and Individual Gear Offset features.
How long does the battery last on a full charge? What do the LED indicators mean during charging?
The rear derailleur battery provides approximately 20,000 shifts per full charge (approx. 1,500 km). Ten minutes of charging supports 200 km of riding.
Charging LED status: solid red light = charging, red light off = charge complete, flashing red light = charging error.
Can I customize the shift button logic (upshift / downshift)?
Yes. The button functions on both the shifter and thumb controller can be customized in the WHALEROAD APP to suit your personal preference.
Must I use genuine mineral oil? Can I mix different brands of oil?
You must use genuine mineral oil. Never mix mineral oils from different brands, and never mix mineral oil with DOT brake fluid.
