Sram X01- 1 x 11?

[Fred Pabst]

So my new bike is spec'd with Sram X01. Always been a Shimano user but figured what the heck, give it a try. So far really dig the shifting performance. Bad part is I'm not in love with sram brakes, they just don't have the feel I want. Has Sram ever made a good brake? Anyway, I could replace the brakes with XT. Pricepoint has them for $88 per set, that's using my Sram rotors. It appears that the rear derailleur shifter and brake lever are integrated. Does sram offer a clamp style shifter directly onto the bars for X01, 1x11? Bike also came with a reverb dropper post. The adjuster button is integrated with the front brake lever. Any options there if I was to go xt brakes? Ditch the dropper?

The clamp for SRAM shifters are very easy to come by, most guys have them in a spare parts bin.
The Reverb dropper button has the clamp built into in, and the brake is attached to the dropper. So if you're selling the brakes you will need a brake clamp to sell it as whole. These are also in a spare parts bin.
This is the shifter band you need:

The is the brake band you need to sell your brakes is: (or you can use this for your shifter as well)

problem solvers makes adapters to mix shimano and sram brakes/shifters on the same clamp:

I'd assume you have guides? I'm happy with mine, but my only experience with XT brakes was a demo bike so they weren't in great condition.

Thanks for the info. I had never heard of Problem Solvers. Pretty cool company.

The problem solver pieces drop the placement of the shifter away from the bar some... this can be good or bad.
