Also, headset to suit the alu frames 6.99 (worth a couple just to get spare bearings).

Ace! Thank you. Hoping the 200 fits my medium now!

Can these be shimmed?

Had one of these in my basket from yesterday but it had sold out earlier this morning.

Went for a fox transfer for £117 instead.

Downside to the fox is you need to buy the lever as well

True but I already have my go to lever from Shimano, the MT500 at £20 which is as good as any and far better than the Brand X.

its just the lever with two bolt holes for sram i think,

google for Aluminum Alloy Bike Clamp, Bike Shifter Clamp Bicycle Trigger Clamp 22.2mm, Sram Shifter Clamp with Bolt

that will be cheap option to directly attach to bars

I'm a dinosaur running 2 * 11 still - so hopefully the old crank brother lever which just about fits with my rapid fireshifters will work with it

One of my riding pals has had one for 5 faultless years.  I'm confident that there would be warranty back up if needed.

Transfer is too long to fit in my frame. Bugger.

Back it goes 😂
