One day I will upgrade my seat. But for those with an original seat, I gained a few inches by simply reversing the seat mounting plate 180. That puts those little arms in the front, and lets the seat go back 4 or more inches. Extra benefit is that it lowers it too. Nice high BB! ;) I did have...

In that last pic, it looks like maybe the headrest could be mounted to the case lid instead of the seat. Then it would open easily.

Please do not put it on your skewer! :) It does look like the cable pulley for the front derailleur.

The narrow niche market for custom seat pad covers has arisen! ;)

Apparently the left brifter in the Sensah group can be overloaded by the extra force required for shifting poor-leverage front derailleurs. So peeps setting up a 2X drivetrain, be aware of that.

I have the Sensah brifters, or rather brifter. The left side is a dummy because I got their cyclocross setup. I am wondering if their road and cyclocross brifters are the same cable-pull. I think they probably are, so you may be able to just use the long cage derailleur from the SRX group. Most...

Because I did not want to replace the entire cable-housing run to accommodate the longer housing needed for my brifters, I did the housing in two parts. A short run along the bullhorns, and a junction into the the existing housing. V-brake noodles are available in multi-packs for cheap, so I...

I wonder if a threaded grommet for each side could be integrated into the design to hold everything rigid when the skewer was removed? It would still be rigid and light, but hold together and provide a hole for the axle. Might have to go to a through-axle design for it to really work though.

It is a Deckas narrow-wide, 104 BCD 44 tooth. Crankset is a Promax BMX crankset. The cassette is a SRAM XD 10-42. If I ever decide I need a higher gear, I will get a larger chainring and wider range XD cassette. Lots of inexpensive no-name options now.

Spent some time getting dialed in, but now they are quite nice. Not sure I like double-tap, but it does work well and looks very clean. Sensah is a company made up of former SRAM engineers. So the quality is good, and they are also inexpensive. This particular set was the brifters and...

So I just mounted the Sensah cyclocross 1 by 11 on my Emeljay'd T50. I am trying out the inverted bullhorn bar method for now. Getting used to double-tap shifting.

My favorite Cruzbike color, for sure! :)

That sounds like the seat pan/back attachment bolts to me. Speed is about right for pedaling. First one side, then the other. ;)

Sensah does have a long cage derailleur option for road now too. Just need to search a bit to find it usually. For instance...

A simple mod I did that made a big difference in getting nice fit was to reverse the mounting plate under the seat. Then I can slide the seat further back in the grooves of the plate. It did raise the nose of the seat a tad, so you need to make sure it is slid as far back as possible to minimize...

I actually picked up the Sensah cyclocross brifters and long cage derailleur. Only 11 speed, and I am using a 46 tooth large cog. Slowly getting them mounted on upside-down bull horns. Will post pics when I finally get it done.

That will be almost suredly be an XD driver on the freehub. So make sure you get the right hubs or driver for your existing freehub.

Giant makes 31.8 steerer stems. They come with a shim to drop down to 1 1/8 as well. Probably the route I will go if I decide my current mod is not what I want. Look for Giant Contact OD2 stem.

Maybe switch the seat mounts on the bottom front-to-back?

For a travel bike, the T50 having regular dropouts on the front may be of benefit.
