Actually I've found an out of focus pic. What you can see is that the shifter clamp can move in or out and rotate round the bar as much as you need. 780mm bars on this bike. Hardtail is 750.

From that angle it looks like you've got your thumbies much closer to your brakes which is what I'm trying to do.

What's the disadvantage to sticking bigger backsweep bars on? Because with the bars swept back, my wrists would be straighter.

Yep, butted right up to the lever clamp.

To a certain extent, more swept back bars will mean your elbows will be further in which isn't as good for aggressive/tech riding but better for plodding out the miles.
