Sensah has 2x12 levers for brake bridges compatible with Shimano 11s derailleurs.....For those who have a mechanical Shimano groupset and want to get a 12 cassette

They would also be compatible with Tiagra 4700 and GRX RX400 10s rear derailleurs

I have a Gatorskin Black Edition and a GrandPrix in 28 on a Zonda C17 disc and it didn't cost me much to mount either one on the wheels and I don't consider the Gatorskin to be "slow" either. I have it in front for a few tenths less width than to the Grand Prix

If it’s a thickness issue, I imagine a few spacers could solve that? Or maybe a different top cap?

Focus Izalco Race with Cube Attain fork.....(frame head tude and fork tube tapered 1 1/8"-1 1/4"




Frame with  Defy OD2 fork









Detail upper headset (FSA OD2)

Are you saying the Giant bearing is too short or too tall? Or rather, is the bearing seat too far down in the steerer? I’m trying to visualize what you said. Do you have any pictures?

This afternoon I take photos of the Giant fork mounted on the Focus frame

at the moment bearings of the Giant

OD2 fork: Upper – MR136 – 32.8 x 41.8 x 6 – 45/45     Lower – MR137 – 37 x 46.9 x 7 – 45/45

OD fork Upper – MH-P08F – 30.5 x 41.8 x 8 – 45/45      Lower – MH-P22 – 34.1 x 46.9 x 7 – 45/45

As you will see...in the upper one only the thickness changes 6 vs 8 and obviously the inner diameter

in the lower one only the inner diameter

Interesting. I wonder if it’s the same fork with a different headset. I was looking at the diagrams and the outer diameter of the top bearing is the same for the TCR and Tarmac (and most road bikes). The inner diameter is what is difference to fit the bigger steerer tube. I wonder if you could just buy a TCR headset assembly to make it work.

without counting the new TCR 2025...all previous TCRs have the seat for the steering the same up or down...so all TCR frames can mount OD2 or OD fork......You just have to install the appropriate bearings, up and down.

I have a Giant OD2 fork at home and I can place the fork on a Focus frame and on a Cube, with the OD2 lower bearing...the problem is at the top, although the bearing fits into the frame, when putting the adjustment wedge and the bearing cover, there is a lot of space between it and the frame

From what I have looked at, the superior OD2 bearing has an external diameter the same as other bikes with a 1 1/8 headset (the ones named Focus and Cube and many others...) but that bearing, the wedge and the cover are specific for OD2 forks.....There may also be a difference in the depth of the seat at the top of the frame.....

in short.....In the same TCR frame we could mount their OD2 and OD forks and other forks that have a 1 1/4" bottom, but the Giant OD2 forks with a 1 1/4" top tube would not be suitable for other frames....we would just have to check the Canyon and Scott using above 1 1/4"

I gave my boss a Sensah 2x12 groupset...the derailleur is shit, I put a Campagnolo 10s that I had in a drawer and the difference was brutal, with a Shimano I would also improve the Sensah......

Sensah has "copied" Sram...and Sram and his FDs don't exactly have a good reputation   ;D

They have front derraileur trim, if it's auto trim they'll be getting a call from shimano lawyers this time

By?? The Sram eTap has wired blips, wouldn't Shimnao have patented satellite controls? The new Red AXS that is coming out soon also has an auxiliary button on the levers, isn't that also patented by Shimano....the Sram and Campagnolo derailleurs have auto trim, right?

I have assembled 3 Sensah groupsets from 3 acquaintances, I prefer to pay a little more for Shimano......at the level of changes it is quite superior (fit and operation) to the Sensah, which I am not saying are bad, but Shimano in that aspect is better, especially in the front derailleur

True, a complete 105 Di2 can be had for a little more than the LTWOO, not to mention that it's easier to get replacement parts if there's a problem with a bump or drop.
