You could fit the shifter to its own mount on the bar so you don't need to move the brake.
Or get sram axs
skinny-
I did that already - it's on a Wolf Tooth separate mount. But the brake lever still stops me moving it further around. Next attempt is to move the brake levers upwards to get more space to rotate the thumb shifter further under the bars, away from my thumb, so that my thumb doesn't have to be brough so far back to trigger it.
I was tempted by SRAM AXS but it's failed on Justinas a couple of times and Lachlan in his TD. It's just not reliable enough for my liking and I'm not fast enough to make do without it.
Maybe I'm doing something stupid. Post pics of your shifter positions...
hippy
Does anyone make aftermarket cable shifters for Shimano? Something with a longer index trigger shift lever perhaps or even adjustable length levers? Just a thought while I think of other ways to arrange my thumb shifter. I'm very fucking close to throwing it in the bin and taping Di2 to the fucker. Next position will involve rotating the brake levers upwards so I can also rotate the thumbie further forward so I don't have to draw my thumb back so far to drop a gear.
