Yep, no idea yet what is the minimum/maximum casette range it takes. If it works with the 10-50/51/52 it could be a good option. The derrailleur looks a bit more plasticky than the ltwoo, but not sure how performance wise it compares to it.

Sensah hydraulic gravel groupsets now available.

Looks to be a new rear derailleur with these sets too.

And you pay 60 euros/dollars for 1 speed more while all is exactly the same, except probably a 11s vs 12s ratchet in the shifter.
The marketing guys of sensah are good to move to sram ;D

this is kind of the "warehouse ready" items from Aliexpress, stores/vendors send their items there and then it's ready to ship fast
also selling prices well below their own stores because it seems to potentialize the sales volume, it must be some negotiation with Aliexpress that to be on that store they need to lower the price at least X%

it has pretty much all categories of items, and the products that appear for each people is different (cookies and all), that's why the other users cannot find it

it's easier to start from Aliexpress home screen and enter the 'Choice', 'SuperDeals' or the 'First come 50% off'. It's normally mostly from this 'Manufacturer direct store' or something, but usually good deals there

This seller has a lot of cycling items for much cheaper than the official stores. I already bought a darevie jersey there for $15 ($23 on official darevie store) and was very happy with it, no catch as far as I could tell
They have things like TPU tubes, Ipro rotors, TOWILD lamps, etc. Also darevie bibs for $16 (official store 32ish?) but the pictures show a grey bib instead of purple. Not sure if they are old collections or something

It looks to be a new design though. Also there looks to be a lock mechanism on the RD now. For a 1x setup, this looks to be a really good value. Plus I'd rather have Sensah's shifting versus LTwoo's thumb trigger or deal with their shoddy electronic groupset.

I suppose that RD should work well with Sram's 12 speed 11-44 cassette?

Probably not "well" as even the new HG apex cassette has the SRAM spacing. It's a hard YMMV but you can expect tweaking

Doesn't Sensah use Sram spacing?

Sensah used the SRAM 11s spacing afaik, but sram has a new spacing for 12s I'm pretty sure

Model A (under stem mount) snapped in half after about 150km of riding. Made my Garmin 1040 flying! Great product otherwise. Bell works nice and I like the location of the light mount being tucked behind. Really wish there was a proper version of this product.

Well, the proper Version is the original Hidemybell mount.

Too bad the aliexpress one breaks. I've had it my cart for a while to try out. The original is over $100 shipped to Canada lol.

wait, 'great product' but it snaps with 150km? lol, that's a shitty product.
I know what you mean, but it's the concept that's great - and it comes from the original one - but the product itself is shit if cannot stand 5h of use...

if I were you, I'd open a dispute since it broke in 1st use, and also leave a review so it doesn't fool anyone else in the future (or at least it's an obstacle to...)

Are you guys keeping track of the AliEx "Choice" stores from different sellers? Lexon/Ryet, Sensah and ZRace all have separate store fronts for select items. The items tend to be priced cheaper and probably allow for faster shipping. There are other "choice" stores from high rated sellers.
