Re: Shifter and brake cables and housing
Quote from: GilardiRT on September 01, 2021, 02:45:05 AM
Hello, I'm waiting for my velobuild 168 frame, I've already bought sensah empire 2x11 and zrace brakes, can anyone suggest me which housing and cables choose for them? Thanks

TRLREQ Teflon coated shifter and brake cables

Jagwire KEB-SL compressionless brake housing (for cable actuated hydraulic brakes, you want compressionless). There is the Yokozuna Reaction housing as well, but good luck fitting that and shifter housing through the handlebars.

There are a lot of shifter housing options, but I am using Shimano OT-SP41

I got zrace and I basically live on Alps, finger crossed
Trace Velo seems to like them, but then Cornwall isn't exactly the Alps.

Let us know how it goes!

Re: Of evkin Hb 10 I've used the HB 010 for about a year. I mostly picked it for the short reach, as that's hard to find on Chinese handlebars. Overall I was very happy with it, so I can recommend it. It was very light and comfortable over rough roads, but obviously not very stiff, so if you're a heavier rider who puts a lot of force through the handlebars, you may want to opt for something that's not focused on low weight.

My only (minor) complaint about it is that the shape is quite triangular. The tops are flattened (which I like), but the bottom of the handlebar isn't entirely round, which, depending on how you fit it and where you put your hands, can cause a bit of a pressure point.

I've also used multiple OG Evkin carbon stems, with good results.
