All mixed up with Sensah compatibility (HRD shifter- which RD?)

[Takiyaki]

Bought HRD shifters and an SRX RD; obviously not working. What's my cheapest option for a compatible RD with good gear capacity? Currently running a 40T cassette but would like the freedom to go bigger. From what I understand LTwoo GR9 RD should work but I'm also seeing Shimano GRX 812 RD for not much more.

Those shifters use the SRAM Road pull ratio. L-Twoo and Shimano RDs will not work with it. You'll want a SRAM Rival/Force/Apex 1 long cage rear derailleur. What's not working about the Sensah one?

Sensah looks like they switched the 12 speed Empire pull ratio to Shimano. I guess since SRAM doesn't do 12 speed mechanical. 

These are listed as Shimano 105 7120 compatible!

Going to take a chance on the GR9 RD. Someone needs to make a compatibility matrix. Very confusing.

Update- GR9 works. Combo shifts a little strange though; I def prefer Shimano shifting.

Is this with 11 speed? Can you take a photo of the levers just so I can see which ones they are?

I hate loading photos here. It's the HRD team pro. I would probably just get the whole GR9 combo vs trying to mix and match Sensah and LTwoo. Just strange that Sensah doesn't seem to have a mechanical Shimano 11 speed gravel groupset.

Hi everyone,

I made this mix:
- Sensah Empire HRD 11-speed shifters
- Sensah CRX 11 PRO MTB rear derailleur
- Sensah Empire front derailleur
- Sensah 11-40 cassette
- Senicx 3-bolt 46-30 crankset
- SRAM chain PC-1130
- Shimano MT-410 post-mount brake calipers (my frame is PM)
- Olive, barb, and hydraulic hose BH59
- MV-Tek mineral oil (it was the only oil the mechanic near my house had, otherwise I would have bought the original Shimano one)

Everything works very well
