I forgot to mention the 2 great advantages with this system that craps all over the others...
1. friction mode!
2. Zen/night riding for when you don't want to look at the controls but want to admire the trail.

Ah ok not Paul's then - do you mean forge-mtb (dot) com though? Forge motorsports (in Gloucester) only seem to do aftermarket car tuning parts...

exactly, they dont do them any more. they used to do a really nice 4 arm xtr spider if you didnt want to use xtr 950 chainrings aswell. that was a good idea, but the middleburn version had better finish.
Ah I see. They seemed to be two different companies when I had a check on t'internet.

I have used the forge mounts with Dura Ace 9-speed shifters and Hope mono mini levers for about 4 years now. Never had any problems, and I think they're pretty ergonomic, as you can shift through the middle gears on the rear with just your index finger knuckle. They are also light, and very crash resistant (survived a couple of heavy stacks with only a scratch). Only issue was the slightly sharp mounts can scratch the bar.
