droo Posted May 4, 2018 Share Either you like gripshift or you don't - the only way to find out is to try. If your LBS doesn't have stock they can order for you. Hairy and GiantSpez 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJacques Posted May 4, 2018 Share It takes a little bit of getting used to, but I like the grip shifters. No more thumb scraping against the trigger shifter. The downside is that putting on custom grips is difficult and sometimes you can accidentally twist it, but it doesn't happen too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snafu Posted May 24, 2018 Share Used X0, XX and now GX gripshift, won't go back to trigger easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted May 24, 2018 Share GX EAGLE, X01 EAGLE XX1 EAGLE gripshift look exactly alike and even feel similar so I bet they are mechanically similar too I.e. Get any one of those that's in stock. The Gx will be cheaper I guess. Fitting other grips is easy Just cut to suit. Except lock on grips. Those you have to buy a special gripshift pair where one grip is shorter. You will only have accidental shifts if you twist them accidentally as the bloke above said. They're great if you find you like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even faster and more straight if you have a band saw. Edited May 25, 2018 by Traveler DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semisub Posted May 25, 2018 Share I have been riding with SRAM gripshifts since 2013 and I won't change. I recently upgraded to GX and stayed with the gripshifts. Love them! Traveler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 25, 2018 Share Yes you can but why would you want your bike to look like it was cobbled together from a scrap heap?
