Trigger shifter clamps...

[UVRail]

Hi all,

quick question.. just looking at using a BBB BSP-90 for a SRAM GX Shifter. I don’t need all the Matchmaker gubbins, just a simple low cost clamp which can open up to fit on the bar without removing grips etc. Would the BBB work?

Nope. That's for fitting a front mech to a seat tube.

Think you need this...

Or buy another GX shifter cheap on eBay that comes with the bar clamp?

Thanks, yes, the SRAM is the clamp that is best suited - the problem is that my grips are a nightmare to remove, so I was hoping to find a clamp that would open up so I can fit it over the bar without all the aggro! Any ideas?

cheers,

Used strong grip-glue then? Not aware of any other 3rd-party MMX solutions with a fully opening clamp, sorry!

Went for a Wolf Tooth shiftmount in the end to attach the shifter to my Shimano brake clamp.

ShiftMount

ShiftMounts are adapter mounts that allow you to integrate SRAM and Shimano shifters with several different brakes from Shimano, SRAM, and Magura. Handlebar space is prime real estate and the ShiftMount seamlessly integrates brakes and shifters for a clean look.

The cost made my eyes water a bit, but an added benefit sill be a slightly tidier cockpit.

Seems a bit crazy that the dropper and brakes all have clamps which will open, as did my old SX shifter, but the mid/higher end shifters don’t!
