Sensah Team Pro left shifter unable to index 105 FD properly

<< < (2/2)

zerstorer:
Have you tried releasing both limit screws totally first to see if you get any form of trim. What I noticed with my Sensah Empire is that you can totally eliminate certain trim positions if the limit screws are tightened.

I would disconnect the the shift cable from the FD and verify you have all 3 shift clicks. Pull the shift cable to creat tension while shifting the lever. Also make sure you're hoods aren't interfering with the shifters. Also it could be an issue where the cable isn't properly seated in the shift mechanism. I've gotten Team Pro shifters to shift the Ultegra/105 FD and even the LTwoo R9 FD with no issues.

This is something I didn't do. Thanks, I will try it! I did release the cable and loosened L/H screws somewhat but let me try again by fully loosening them.

Did disengage the cable from FD and shifted the lever as you mentioned. I *THINK* there are 3 clicks though I felt the movement of cable on only two main shifts the little trim movement wasn't there or may be I didn't notice. Compared it to my R6800 and there is a distinct trim movement apart from two large movements of the cable.

I would double check that your cable housing is positioned properly into the shifters. It should be deeply recessed. It could be causing the poor shifting. Also are you shifting all the way through? You should fee the final third click at the furthest in-board position.

Just an update. Given up on these and ordered 105 R7000 shifters for $110 for the pair. For comparison the Sensah shifters were $65 which are worthless now. In the meanwhile I am riding these Sensah shifters as it is and noticed one more problem.

Since up shift, downshift, braking is all handled by one lever there seems to be a mechanism that stops one from shifting accidentally while braking or vice versa. That mechanism isn't perfect. I often run into situation where I try to brake but it resists first and then with an audible click the lever moves. There's a very short but noticeable interval where the shifters gets confused before getting into action. It happens mostly on rear shifter. Front one is okay so clearly there are issues with quality. Not good. I don't think I'll go with such design again.
