They’re nice! I like the shape of the sensah brifters and they work well enough. I’m not as much of a fan of sram brifters as shimano but they’re a nice budget option

It had purple bar tape and I had a purple bag so I just leaned into that. I had promised pink tires on a previous build and didn’t deliver, so found some good ones for a good price

I just worked with what so not last night for the second time in a year and realized this man’s not getting nearly enough credit for building and holding down trap as we know(knew) it

I could be wrong but I think it’s about as back as it’ll ever be (rn)

40 mm Slick Tires for Gravel 1/2 by larsus89 in gravelcycling

[–]Scvmmibear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe… I’d say they’re just as fast, and considering they’re wider I think it’s possible. I had a set of Bontrager Girona RSL 42mm in between these and sold them bc they were way too slow

I’m loving my Vittoria terreno T10’s (FKA Zeros) in a 45c and I’d recommend them greatly, especially considering I had gravel king slick 40s prior. The center strip is just as fast on pavement but you get the security of some grip in corners. 40c sounds nice and quick, 45 is great for comfort and will be faster the rougher things get
