I want to mate a Juicy 5 with Sram Attack using the Matchmaker. How much weight savings not to mention the non clutter of the handlebar. Has anyone done this?

Only works with 2007+ X-9 and all the X-0 shifters.

crap.........

I don't want to change out a perfectly good xt rear derailler.

Than you don't have the weight weenie bug bad enough. Changing out perfectly good parts for really expensive, slightly lighter parts is their favorite thing to do.

Or you could buy XTR trigger shifters instead. The Attack shifters are pretty heavy at 260gms a pair. XTR are only 215gms a pair and have multigear up and downshifts.

In case anyone has Avid Juicy Ultimates and X.0 trigger shifters, switching to a matchmaker setup actually ADDS 1g - sad but true. I brought the setup to the post office this spring to compare, as I don't have my own scale.

Therefore, I naturally kept the more cluttered setup.

REALLY? over ONE gram?

A little OT but not to forget that the matchmaker will work with Formula Oro brakes.

 

[Flystagg]

yay now I don't have to buy matchmakers

Haha, but not only is it 1 g, but it is a MSRP CAN$30 spent to gain 1g of weight.....and also in terms of practicality, if you break it in a race, that's both the brake and shifter gone. Also while it is a well thought out idea in terms of ability to position the brake and shifter relative to each other, I couldn't quite get things exactly the way I wanted.

Oh sure, make him upgrade his shifters and his brakes at the same time... just to gain 1gm. :skep:

but it just looks cleaner on the bar.. If i crash and break a lever or shifter im done anyways..

 

[Tiffster]

I weighed my matchmaker setup VS independant clamp setup (Juicy Ultimate and XO triggers) and the weight was the exact same on mine.

For me its the improved fit on the bar and ergonomics that warrants using them.

I believe you need the Formula version of the Matchmaker.

Formula stopped selling their matchmaker because SRAM threatened them.

 

[TR]

Hmmmm.
I will have to check with my local guy who just put one on my bike recently.

 

[buckoW]

I have them too but formula stopped selling them. I think it is too bad because I prefer the Formula brakes over the Avids. Formula told me that this summer when I tried to get another set for my One brakes.

 

[rockyuphill]

There's still Mixmasters floating around online. They are double the cost of the SRAM.

 

[buckoW]

Those are the ones I have

 

[TR]

Yep Looks like what I have too.
