Sensah Electronic Groupset (14 speed?)

[jimbobcob]

I whatsapp'd Seraph with regard to currently requiring a Chinese number to use the Sensah app for the 1x14 groupset they offer, they've replied saying suppliers still need to wait another month and a half before more countries are added to the list of those eligible to register accounts.

Nice. But only for android so far. I have iOS

Weight of each parts.

Is this customisable in the individual gear spacing in the way that LTWOO works? I’m contemplating the idea of converting my 1x13 Ekar gravel bike to this and keep the 13sp cassette, chain and cranks.

On Xiahongshu, someone mentioned that it was cassette speed selectable. Can someone confirm? It might be easier to use a common spec 12 speed cassette.

The app needs to be available internationally before you can seriously consider this groupset. There is the "whaleroad" app available but no one has been able to confirm this works, although Sensah themselves were using the app at the Shanghai Bike show.

As per the screenshots from the whaleroad Play store, the cassette speed is adjustable. The long cage rear derailleur specs on the whaleroad website also confirm it's 3-14 speed.

@Sebastian in answer to your question, I just noticed the whaleroad app has a global offset function.

Now things get a little bit interesting. 10-45 will be a nice range for the 14 speed (judging by that screenshot there), seems like it will be the same as the 13-speed 11-45 but with a 10t overhanging the edge on an HG cassette in much the same way SRAM implemented the 10t on their lower end MTB transmission HG cassette. This is something I can get excited about.

Will these cassette work on HG freehub? If yes it will be a nice alternative to microspline and xdr.

[aliexpress_junkie]

So only 1x is planned for this? Or I missed something obvious.

Excited for this, I am part of a ltwoo owner fb groups and every day you get people reporting issues with those. People say we're overpaying for the big brands and or this group is biased because of course people would report stuff not working and not stuff working but I still feel like it's not the case, it's not refined enough yet.

[afabians]

It seems they've rebranded the entire brand for the global market. The product is now called the Whaleroad R7.

It seems that their 13s and 14s cassette are compatible with Shimano HG freehub (11 or 12s).

Someone can confirm it ?

Cassette 11-46 and no cog 14 is such a stupid choice . You don't even get 1:1 with sufficient chainring, but you get big Jump from 15 to 13. This gruppset makes no Sense.

I can see the appeal, "only" 2t gaps untill the 25t, which means around 25-35kph is the sweetspot for this cassette with a ~52t, and a 52-46 is still enough bailout for me.
I must admit that I am not a high level racer or have long non-technical descents where i care about cadence gaps 50kph+

Mineral oil is a big plus. And the levers look good. I do love the E1 gen lever ergonomics. I do agree the 11-46t cassette is an odd choice. They could have taken SRAM’s 10-46t and added a 14 or 16 and it would have been way nicer. Is it compatible with SRAM’s or Campy’s cassettes?
