LEWIS AE/AX Brake Lever Direct Mount Adapter for SRAM Matchmaker Shifters

With this adapter, an AE or AX lever can carry a SRAM Matchmaker shifter on one mount, which takes a clamp off a busy bar. It is named for those two brakes only, so riders on another LEWIS series should stop and check.

Which adapter suits AE and AX levers

A separate LEWIS Matchmaker adapter for SRAM exists without any brake series named, so owners of these two brakes have a clearer path with this one. Check the model on your lever first. If it reads AE or AX, this is the adapter to start from.

Finding out which side you will receive

Left and right are both named, but you cannot pick one and the number of pieces is not given. So before ordering, ask which side arrives and whether bolts come with it. This saves a second order when you want a pair for both levers.

Matching your shifter to the mount

The stated interface is SRAM Matchmaker, and particular shifter models are not named. Check your shifter documentation for that mount. A shifter with its own band clamp usually needs a change of hardware before it can use a Matchmaker, so look at that as well.

Fitting it to an AE or AX lever

Hold the lever and shifter together on the bar before final tightening, because the adapter links their positions. Try the AE or AX lever at your normal reach, and then try the shift paddle while standing on the pedals, as you would on a rough descent. Tighten gradually, once both controls feel right.

• Named for LEWIS AE and AX brakes
• Interface for SRAM Matchmaker
• One-piece CNC cut from 7075 T6 aluminum

With one less clamp on the bar, the cockpit gets simpler, as long as the side, the interface and your brake model all line up before you order.
