Another rather informative article Andrew. It’s bloody confusing I must say. I see what you mean about the Negroni. Hmm tequila base. Must try that.
I’ve been 4 clamp mountainbiking since the 80’s and more recently running Hope T3 brake levers and Shimano shifter / bike yoke post on 4 clamps, I’m a fan of the adaptability for sure
Another 4 clamp advantage is the ability to run the brake lever loose enough so it can rotate in an impact (levers get costly) - can’t do that with MMX, cos shifting applies rotary pressure and pushes the combination around.
For only the 3rd time in 36 years I’m buying a stock bike with SRAM MMX- so now I’m hoping to separate SRAM Code R brake lever and GX Eagle shifter / XFusion post lever onto 4 clamps.
Will there be a position that works? I’m a veteran of 1 finger braking
So, I’m mr 4 clamps all the way.
Anyone done it? Moved from MMX to 4 clamps?
Googling an answer brought me here which is kinda the opposite of what I was after.
Thanks guys.
