Shiamano with windows off are ok but SRAM are better

Xt no windows and matchmaker clamps here. Perfect.

I'm running TechM4's+Sram X9 shifters but can't get them just right so think I'll try some Matchmakers.

I've got Hope Tech M4's with SRAM X9's on the Hope matchmaker clamps. Absolutely perfect. Right angle, right distance, less faff, less cluttered bars - what's not to like?

Do match makers make that much difference to the above combo? I've though about them in the past but they always seemed a bit expensive for what they are.

VERY expensive for what they are I have some hopes with matchmakers and some without[SRAM shifters]

Over rated IMHO but I had no clamps and they were all I could get.

+1 for XT shifters & Tech Evo matchmaker. Could almost do with an extra mounting hole outboard (to move the shifters outboard) to improve comfort in use if you single finger brake I reckon, but they do tidy the bars up a treat.

I have my brake levers quite a long way inboard as I only every single finger brake. My X9's on the matchmaker clamp are perfect for me at the outboard end of the inboard hole - if that makes sense. There is another hole further outboard if you wanted the trigger even more towards the bar end
