Does anyone else feel they need to swap them over on the bar....Cant be just me. When i have the levers in an inch for 2 or 1 finger braking I cant reach the shifters comfortably we my short fat thumbs.

Is this something other people find? Im off to look at an Orange five tomorrow to make sure I can swap them over - they have the xt shifters will these sit inside the hope x2 levers.

they'll come fitted outboard of the brakes (you'll struggle to operate the triggers otherwise),and can also be moved in or out on their mounts too.

XT shifters here with old stylee Hope levers mounted 'wrong way round'. Takes a bit of faffing & fettling to stop them fouling each other but works fine if you don't use the shifter windows.
