can't be arsed to go downstairs but..

Matchmaker onto X9 Shifters above the bar so it lines up with your sifting thumb

Have seen it mounted under bar on a single ring bike where they front shifter would have sat

Flipped, under the bar on the left. It's easily the most ergonomic position for it, although I've had to move my shifter inboard as a consequence.

Left hand side. Grip, xt shifter without window, right hand reverb lever upside down, hope tech brake lever.

HTH.

In doing as others have above, you can then turn your bike upside down to fix a puncture without worrying about snapping the lever. ๐Ÿ˜›

Like the idea of that. I bought a reverb a couple of months ago and it has been great. Lever is mounted on the right hand side above the shifters so it doesn't feel like it is in the optimum position. Will def try and move to the left side.

I mounted mine on the underside of the left bar inboard of shimano dualcontrol shifters.

I found that with the reverb between the grip and the shifter, the shift button was tricky to get to without catching the reverb.
