Sorry to revive an old thread, but might not this work with the Hope X2 seals? These ones for instance https://www.bowcycle.com/product/hope-hope-caliper-seal-kit-for-x2-455890-1.htm?srsltid=AfmBOoolyZvI0wYaq7fE4RG6hwFw8hKy68V3cJOxaWqVHarVLGbXiH-HsiA.

I may give this a go myself, having found a good deal on some Apex AXS shifters and brakes.

I have the old gen 1 pm, and the 5 bolt design is compatible with SRAM 3 bolt. It's likely the same thing here.

Mine just arrived. Am I doing something wrong, or are the screws with the blue loctite impossible to screw in? Does anyone else have this issue?

Has anyone's crank already been shipped? Still waiting for mine

Same, still waiting!

Yep I get mine from Easedon. They always send a picture of the spokes with the length before shipping, so that's nice.

I've used these on two builds now withouth issue. I can't compare to the wing spokes though.

I've been using the fake cane creek ee brakes without issue, although they are the direct mount versions.

I have the Spedao one, and unfortunately it skips on the smallest 3 cogs.

Hmm, I don't see this feature. How recent do the orders have to be before they expire?

Did anyone order those ultra light 150 grams or less handlebars? I had bad experience with RXL SL because they flexed so much and they aren't even that light. These Kocevlo being so light would be even worse?

Just looking for a simple handlebar with flat top.

I have these. Super flexy. I also have those RXL SLs with the ovalized tops and the 2cm flair. Those are much stiffer.

Anyone have experience with this Spedao 10-36t 11 speed cassette?

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805833912725.html

I wasn't that impressed by the Spedao road 11-32t cassette because of cog skipping. Unfortunately the beefier 1 piece Goldix/ZTTO cassettes only go up to 11-34t. I'm planning to use this on my 2x gravel setup. I need to get an XD/R freehub with it as well.

I've been getting some skipping on the three lowest cogs or so when putting down the power.

I've returned a bunch of stuff too, and that was nice to try out different stem lengths. But just a heads up, recently I had tried to return some items that were clearly marked "Free Return," but for some reason AE wasn't letting me return these for free. The problem doesn't seem to be isolated to just me; a quick google search shows quite a few reddit posts with the same problem.

I'm guessing you wouldn't be able to just turn something on the shifter itself. I have an 11 speed mechanical brake version, and the shifting is done using a ratchet. You would have to replace this ratchet for it to work with 11 speeds. I don't think Sensah sells these separately; I tried to get myself a 12 speed one to upgrade my 11 speed shifters but they just told me to buy the whole shifter.
