  • Hi. Just had this company brought to my attention and just wondered if anyo e had any experience of them?
    They seem to do 2 x 11 and 2 x 12 carbon groups. But very cheap when compared with Shimano et al.
    Opinions?

  • Did you take the plunge Micky? seems to be the only component options until the Bword shitshow calms down

  • Bit of a dredge but I have just happened upon this componentry through a chap who kitted his gravel bike out with it and he had nothing but love for it, has anyone else used this stuff? Supposedly ex SRAM employees start up in china

  • Plenty of reviews on YouTube, including one by me. The nose on the FD was too short, ending inside the slot on the hanger, causing it to move into the slot as the bolt was tightened and breaking the hanger. Pretty shit, dunno if they've fixed that. They've fixed a couple of other things I complained about, changed some plastic parts to metal.

    Main pain in the arse is that because the levers work like a cross between Shimano and SRAM, if the lever gets a bump it drops to a smaller cog. Not usually an issue when riding, but if you're in the habit of shifting to an easier gear before you get off the bike, you might find it in a hard one when you get back on.

  • Also, I figured out you can use a SRAM RD with the help of a bit of cable sleeve to effectively increase the diameter of the actuation cam by 0.5mm.

  • I wanna use Sensah Empire levers with Shimano 6800 mechs. That's doable right?

    Edit:
    Sensah Team is what I need probably

  • Sorry, completely missed your reply at the time, cheers, that's good info. Still interested in it, purely led by my love of a bargain I expect :D

  • Outside of the 1x shifters, they should work with Shimano road compnents
