ask again clearer.

Sensah 12speed shifters compatible with Shimano 11 speed derrailleur. Same pull ratio.

What kind of issues you had with HG that you expect to have on MS?

quite noticeable dents and marks after a while of heavy use and abuse. XD hubs since everything is screwed, have a much larger contact area and exhibited that problem. But ey, maybe it is me.

This spacing is good for climbing. Question is are those VG Sports cassettes any good?

I have the 12s one on my full suspension. Haven't used it that much, but shifting is basically perfect with my GX AXS.

Do you prefer XD over microspline? Don't Sram and Shimano's MTB cassettes share the same spacing in 11 and 12 speed?

Always XD, yes. Never had issues with that. But I had issues with HG and expect to have issues with MS.

I could also be a little bit savy by going rival + GX AXS. I do not plan to use satellite shifters, nor I plan to use rim brakes, so maybe rival is good enough? weight is similar, I am not sure about build quality and ergonomics. The good part is that rival + GX mullet is readily available in some shops.

Component Deals & Selection / Groupsets for two gravel bikes (carbon and titanium)
« on: November 05, 2023, 10:49:06 AM »
Hi.

Context: I am getting a carbon gravel frame (flyxii FE02) painted after a crash. Full rebuild. Also getting soon-ish a titanium one from Waltly. So now I need to think about groupsets.

What I currently have at home:
- Shimano GRX 812 with garbaruk cage.
- Old sensah SRX 1x11, mechanical + hybrid brakes

My experience with the hybrid brakes is so-so, so I am one hand not thrilled to use that second groupset, but on the other hand it is a pity to just kept it unused.

Options, particularly now that 11.11 is coming:

- use what I have, GRX for the titanium frame, sensah for the carbon, until it breaks
- buy a Ltwoo GRT for the carbon one
- buy a sensah SRX pro HRD for the carbon one
- buy a Shimano GRX 12s (not very inclined to be honest at the current prices)
- buy a force AXS + GX AXS mullet for the titanium one, and leave the GRX for the carbon one. Most expensive option, but would make the titanium frame 100% internally routed.

What would you go for?

Relber. The white and the red one are excellent for mtb and road in my opinion. The green is thicker than the blue, too thick unless you are in really muddy conditions.

I have read so many horror stories about the eR9 and eRX that I honestly stopped being interested. Also one of the drawbacks of my mechanical hydro RX is the spring, which is quite weak. I am not sure they have changed it for a stronger one (I think the one from sensah is stronger). It works, but the chain retention is not great.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Ryet handlebars any good? Other handlebar options for D-shaped steerer tubes
« on: November 04, 2023, 02:51:09 PM »
Not sure about that specific bar. But my full suspension flat integrated bar is from Ryet and it is very good so far.

10-51 casettes (12s AND 11s now too) with shimano spacing but for XD hubs (win-win)

I have a pair for my full suspension, with dt350. I haven't ridden them that much, but so far they have been amazing. The best wheels by far I have ever had.

In fact I am thinking on ordering a second pair of those but with 12x100 and 12x142 hubs for the titanium gravel project, with the same DT350.

Not worth it to be honest. They are too damn rigid. So stiff that they make the frame creak, they develop play around the axles and bearings, etc. They look cool, but honestly better to invest the money in some good wheels with a dtswiss hub

There you go, you gain around 20mm

Component Deals & Selection / Recommendation of lightweight dt350-hub gravel wheels

Any recommendation of a relatively lightweight (<1300g) gravel wheelset with dt350 from Ali?
