Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads Are the Apex AXS hoods on a new Grizl supposed to sit like this on the handlebar? by Aufgeiga89100860 Bicycle Bicycling Bike Biking Canyon Bicycles Canyon Bikes Cycling
Aufgeiga89100860 on June 23, 2024 1:00 pm Disclaimer: I’ve only ever used Shimano STIs. The other hood looks even worse with almost 1.5 cm distance to the handlebar. Is there any way to make the hoods sit as flush to the handlebars as Shimano STIs do or is that the best already?
DanteSaw on June 23, 2024 1:16 pm flip out the hood cover, loose the bolt to adjust to a better position of the handlebar. SRAM’s brake level hood is not covered prefectly like Shimano, they always fit loose even the brand new sram red. But for your photo is more like the bar tape didn’t wrapped up right so jammed around the brake level clamp and caused the big gap. So try to adjust the level clamp first to see if it can get better, if not you might need to re-wrap the bar tape.
