Industry Quotes:
“The GX shifters offer the control of indexed shifting at your fingertips, but it takes a bit to get used to. By “a bit” I mean like 15 seconds. It’s simple, really. Want to dump your cassette? Just swipe. No hassle, nothing. I am sold on their application for touring or even commuter bikes. They’re easy to setup, require very little maintenance and most importantly, they shift precisely!” – John Watson, The Radavist.
“all worked perfectly. Did I say perfectly? Yes. Yes, I did. Fast, crisp shifts up front with manual trim…a thing of beauty. – Tyler Benedict, Bike Rumor.

UX1 shifters will work with short pull brakes such as road calipers or cantilevers or even mini-v’s. UX1 is also set up to work with single chain rings only. If you have long pull brakes or a double or triple chain ring you will want a set of UX2’s
UX2 shifters will work with any type of cable pull brake thanks to its adjustable brake cable pull mounts. These are set up to work with double or triple chain rings or single by removing the left shifter and its mount.
