Match Maker X

[Ian986]

Hi All,

I need a bit of advise on how the match maker thing works. I am upgrading rear mech to GX AXS and will probably get an dropper post AXS too soon. It Would be really nice to tidy up the cockpit a bit do any brakes come with match maker clamps? Or is it you have to buy the match maker clamps and fit brakes and controllers to them? Thanks and I apologise if a stupid question.

Matchmaker is a Sram product. You may be able to buy the mounts separately (I don't see why not), but on my bikes they always came with the brake/shifter set up. The matchmaker design is something that I would be proud to claim as my own. It is versatile and makes the Shimano I-spec system look clunky and restrictive in comparison. In my opinion!

I don't know for sure, but I suspect that Shimano brakes and shifters cannot use the Matchmaker mounts (more's the pity!). If anyone knows different, please correct me.

Most of the recent Sram brakes are compatible with MMX (Match Maker X), some of them come with MMX clamps as the part of the set.

Thanks for the reply‘s

I found the mmx bracket online at £30 each side. But I am thinking of upgrading my brakes to and wondered if any brakes came with MMX as standard all the web sites see to say Is they are comparable. I might get some code RSC brakes. Thanks again

This is how Code RSCs are shipped - the box contains the hinged bar clamp and MMX adapter:

Magura have a range of clamps to match either Shimano or SRAM. Think they call them ShiftMix rather than MatchMaker
