Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Matchmaker X do?
The Matchmaker X clamps your Avid or SRAM brake lever and SRAM trigger shifter (plus XLoc or Reverb remotes) into a single assembly to tidy the cockpit, improve lever spacing and simplify cable routing. It replaces multiple separate clamps with one compact unit.
Which brakes and remotes are compatible?
It is compatible with Avid and SRAM mechanical disc brake levers, SRAM trigger shifters and RockShox XLoc and Reverb remote assemblies. The product maps to SRAM model ID DB-SPP-A0—check that your lever housings match that family for straightforward fitment.
Will it fit my handlebars?
Matchmaker X fits standard mountain handlebar clamp diameters and the common SRAM/Avid clamp interfaces. It can be used with most 22.2mm MTB-style setups, but oversized bars, unique clamp shapes, or integrated cockpit systems may need verification—contact us with photos if you’re unsure.
How difficult is installation?
Installation is straightforward for any rider familiar with brake and shifter clamps. Remove the existing clamps, position matching controls in the Matchmaker X shells, then torque the bolts evenly. If you’re not comfortable with clamp torque or cable routing, a professional fit at your local shop takes minutes.
Should I use the rainbow or stainless bolt option?
Rainbow bolts are a visual upgrade if you want a custom look; stainless bolts offer improved corrosion resistance for wet, salty or bike‑packing conditions. Functionally both bolt types perform the same—choose based on style and exposure to the elements.
Does it affect lever feel or performance?
No—when correctly installed the Matchmaker X preserves original lever geometry and performance. By holding components securely in an optimized position it can actually improve accessibility and control under load.
Buying Guide
When choosing a clamp system like the Matchmaker X, confirm compatibility with your brake lever model and shifter type first—this product is purpose-built for SRAM/Avid ecosystems including XLoc and Reverb remotes. Decide whether you need a left, right or full-pair clamp and whether you want upgraded bolts (stainless or rainbow) for style or corrosion resistance. Consider how you use your bike: if you value a clean cockpit, faster access to controls, or easier cable routing for trail and enduro riding, a Matchmaker clamp is a cost-effective upgrade. If you have an integrated cockpit or oversized bars, check dimensions or bring photos to our fitting team to avoid surprises.
