Shimano
I just bought some sram x9 now I’m thinking I should’ve got shimano shifters
I have always found SRAM products obsolete even when they are just released. The technology is not on par with other competitors and continues to fall further behind as SRAM just continues to buy sub companies to add to their lineup while not improving and innovating anything at all.
LOL You need to work on your trigger finger bud. I and most people go through their whole gear cassette (1-10) with single clicks in less time than you messed with 2 at a time.
Great video & great effort!
Concise!
Actually you have to push the sram button only 10 times to shift thought the whole 11 speed cassette!
can i use shimano xtr shifter to sram nx setup? Please reply.THANKS.
shimano ♡
Grip shift is the best for me.
I think it’s better to put the grip shifter on the left side. That’s what I’ll do since I mainly brake with the right
the only thing i hate on grip shifts is that they are rubber and breaks down over time
Sram twister shifter for me. Never had accidental shifts or any break-downs in 15 years. It’s a mather of preference, but I don’t understand why so many people dislike it. Maybe they didn’t gave it enough time to get used to. Or really had some bad luck.
Bike manufacturers should give some more shifting options IMO. Maybe use a bike configurator instead of fixed bike models.
I used to have gripshift. Main problem i had is wrist pain and skin burn on my palm. You don’t have that problem with triggers.
Using Shimano trigger shifters since 1995, tried gripshift too, but never felt it was as crisp as triggers, in my opinion… always try to use the higher group you can (XT or Saint are excellent options).
I have the xx1 eagle shifter, It always rubs on my hands when descending, so Iv’e had to push it quite far away from my grips.
1:39 thats what she said
Awesome video !!
Otimo video!!!!
I just called Canyon about the Exceed team bike with 12 speed XX-1 and asked about the grip shift and size M wont be available until fall

THANK YOU!
Iam buying the Shimano bicycle
5:00 You can just brake with the other hand while changing gears with twist/grips.
First of all, Thank You Very Much for your videos, they are helping me a lot
I have a question, i hope someone could answer it: is sram sxx1 cassette, rear derailleur and grip shift compatible with Shimano xtr 3×11 crankset, front derailleur and shifter?
I’ve chosen those because i think is the best lightweight groupset i can get for my budget and I certainly want a 3×11, and if there is any other suggestion, i would be glad to hear it
Thank you very much
I have rapid fire shifters on my trail bike and grip shifters on my old 98 cannondale f700 I purchased new (tells my age) I converted to a Hybrid for cruising. I like them both never any issues. I probably would prefer trigger shifters for single track or mountain biking.
Can I use a rapid fire shifter in place of a SRAM shifter?
That hat looks freaking ridiculous. Either get a new hat or put some bend in it, "gangsta"
am i the only one who prefer the old school mountain lever shifter?
heh i remember 95s bikes they had thumb levers shiftier and Cantilevers brakes.
even on the cheapest mountain bike…
wait was the bikes of this time better than actual bikes…?
when using a gripshifter your wrist makes un natural movements.This also isn’t ergonomic at all.
GripShift since the release of X-800 (X-ray version)
Gripshift vs Trigger is the same as Mac vs PC.
Fewer people use Gripshift, while the masses use Trigger.
Exactly like how most people have PC, but those who are truly wise use a Mac.
shimano user, its good all the way since I bought my first mtb back in 1995
Questo sistema e molto bruta. Shifter bad
How wide is the cassette
Brother great Video
At 15:29 the chain goes beyond the 11 gear, does it mean the shifter needs some service? can it be that it goes until the 12 gear?
Good comparison!
Canyon makes a bike with twist shifters? What bike is that?
Another disadvantage of the twist shift is you forget which way to shift. With trigger it’s up and down with twist it’s forward and backward. ( Example forward goes down the cassette and backward goes up the cassette ) I could be wrong. Secondly it takes up more space handlebars. Which means you will need handlebars that are a lot wider
7:23 until you do it too hard and your grip shift turns way past the end, messing up the whole indexing in the progress.
Never again will I use grip shifters. They are for children.
Had Gripshift late 90’s into the early 2000s and loved them. Since then I’ve been on various triggers and I’ve never liked them as much. Looking at a Ripley build and I think I’m going back to Grips! PS Don’t remember ever accidentally shifting, but I have a really light grip when I ride.
If you didn’t repeat some concepts almost 20 times each this video would have been 4 minutes shorter
I Ride SHIMANO.
The SRAM X9, Attack and MRX PRO Twist Shifters are compatible with Shimano derailleur. I was introduce to SRAM Twist Shifters in 1998 with a set of SRAM MRX PRO 200-10. The shifting is easy and precise. After 20 years I still have that bike and the SRAM MRX PRO 200-10 have not require any service or adjustments and still shift like the first day. just purchase a new 2018 mountain bike with Shimano Rapid Fire trigger shift and I hate that hurt my thumbs. will be changing those for SRAM Grip Shifters.
I hate twist shifters, will never use them again
I like the background music
Just got a new bike with SRAM EAgle coming from XTR 3x 10.
Shifting wise I actually prefer the XTR, its much faster up shifting which surprised me considering how new Eagle is. I think its because XTR literally pushes the cable out rather than just lets go of the cable, relying on the rear derailleur spring to take it up.
Why would you want to use the index finger anyway? Shouldn’t that busy on your brake lever?
I was shifting my Shimano Tourney 1 at a time until I found I found change up 3 gears. Right down to 2nd. That required always a 1.
Very detailed. Thanks!
Excellent presentation! Thank you!
