SRAM DoubleTap

July 14, 2008 7:55 pm

SRAM is at it again. The new Doubletap X.9 shifters operate much like their road groupo. You tap the lever lightly to go to a smaller cog/chainring. Push lever further to go to a larger cog/chainring.

SRAM 9 Speed Double Tap Shifters
MF# 00.7015.074.010
QBP# LD4514
Shifters are compatible with SRAM mountain rear derailleurs and front derailleurs.

These new shifters combined with the new Hammerschmidt front shifting device is bound to make it a HUGE Interbike for SRAM this year. It really seems like they are starting to think outside the box of conventional shifting. I welcome this change. Shifting has been done the same for a long time. It’s time to shake things up a little bit.
