Last year I reviewed a lightweight carbon fibre version of Sensah's 11 speed Empire (sometimes called Team Pro) groupset.
Full episode - youtu.be/7Tw-mrcnMKQ
Overall the groupset was fanstastic. The shifting is great, the groupset is super lightweight, and it looks fantastic. However at the end of the episode I mentioned that I had a slight concern with part of the shifting mechanism.
I was worried that an aluminium lever arm (part of the shifting assembly), would eat into the much softer carbon fiber brake lever, affecting the overall durability of the shifters.
After 1200 miles (1930 km) of use, the damage is actually very minor. However Sensah took onbard the feedback, and have updated the design of their TeamPro shifters to prevent this issue altogether.
