Hydro Disc Levers w/ gripshift?(7 posts)

Hydro Disc Levers w/ gripshift?cityslick

From a disc newbie: I'm sure this has come up before, but -- anyone have a view on which (reasonably affordable) hydro disc systems have levers long enough to work well with grip shift? Many thanks.
I know Hayes levers work fine, but I have huge hands. nmDamion

Twisters and minis working fine. Just don't king-kong them on too tight, or you could break both if you clip a tree
SRAM twist shifters + Magura Marta levers work fine for me [NM]AndyH

I used SRAM 9.0 shifters with Hayes. Tough reach for me....Jaybo

I'm using X.9 shifters now and still find the Hayes levers don't nest with the X.9 shifters very well. The king of ergonomics is still Shimano Rapidfire shifters. I just don't think they shift as well as SRAM.
