can anyone help got the above levers whats the best shifters to use with them, i have shimano slx and ya cant change gear easy
What position do you run them? I have xt shifters with the hope tech levers, run the levers as far inboard as you can (1 finger braking). I have then removed the windows on my shifters, don't need them anyway and have them between the grips and levers (not sure if you can remove the windows on slx shifters though)

I use x9 with matchmaker clamps. Tidy.
I use xt with also the windows removed!
I run mine with slx with the indicators removed with no trouble.
+1 for the matchmaker clamps; you can have the shifter in two positions and it tidies up the bars.
When I switched from Avids to X2s I had to swap round the positions - ie. moved brake levers inboard of the shifters and then had to use the outboard mounting hole on the shifter pods.
Matchmakers would probably have been a neater solution all round. Hope make them for SRAM, XT or XTR.
