...question.? Building a 1x9. First geared mtb build. I'm running avid bb7 with sram x7 shifter. so what comes first with respect to the grip, the shifter or the lever, or is it a personal choice? i use just my index when braking wtih bb7's so i keep the lever clamp a couple of inches away from the grip, if thats of any relevance, and i figure i might like to be closer to my shifter. thanks in advance
 
Like this handle bar grip , brake lever , shifter would be the best configuration and the most common one too. Your shifters and brake levers are only a forefinger and thumb reach away when theyre close like that. Try it you will see that it works great!
