I have both the standard and the integrated stem ones. The latter I don't like that much because of the weird angles (very negative stem and then very vertical drops. Design mistake imho). The normal zniino one I have been using for 7 months in my 29er and it works very well.

Still relevant in the sense of the lack of manufacturer instructions / support though. Even the brake bleed instructions video makes absolutely no mention of the free stroke adjustment:



Will be interesting to see how early reviewers go with the stiff paddles + return of the right lever and whether these things have been fixed.

Hi

Paddle stiffness is solved (see tracevelo's video comment section), there's a screw in the ratchet to increase and decrease stiffness. The brake softness is solved with a combination of
closing the huge gap of the pistons by actuating 10-15 times the brakes without rotors and then finely adjusting the freestroke screw (you have to be super careful not to screw it too much or it pops out, it was a 2-3h pain in the ass to put mine back in). I did that to mine and now the brake is super responsive.

 And as I told to Chinacycling and Tracevelo, my paddle returning was never a real issue. Sure it sometimes does not go all the way up, but thst does not block downshifts in my case.

So in summary, levers fine (I think I prefer the clean design of Sensah, but it doesn't bother me to have the side lever), brakes are fantastic, front derrailleur is perfect. Rear derailleur ... So so. I have some issues with my chain (gx eagle) jumping around near the lower pulley when downshifting + going to small chainring at the same time. It sometimes lands at an inclined angle. I have replaced the lower pulley with a narrow-wide profile one (in my opinion, the original should have been like that) and it has definitely improved, but still the shifting is not as crisp as I would like. Maybe with a sram flattop chain or with a chain from other manufacturer. Or maybe with another casette.

It looks awesome, love the paintjob. TFSA honestly makes beautiful frames and beautiful paint jobs. A little bit like delihea.
I just wish they also produced endurance frames. I would certainly buy one. Their current catalog, even on gravel (their gravel has exactly the same geometry as the Pinarelly grevil), is just too racey for my long legs / small torso combo.
