2022 rail 7 purion/brake/lever setup

[Rogercakenz]

Hi. Has anyone managed to make this crappy setup work? I want the purion inboard enough to reach but can't make it work with the I spec ev lever. If I run it inboard of the lever it's over my grips and in the way of reaching the brake. Outboard it's so far out it's a hassle reaching for it. The purion clamp wont work in the middle of the lever either. Anyone have any ideas?

Yup, it can be a poor design. I’ve found that over time I only use the Purion controller or the Kiox controller when I start my ride. “EMTB” mode most of the time. The digital clock and mode is what I use most. Sometimes at the end of my ride I will check the data. I’m not sure if there’s a different method of mounting.

Switching to an I-Spec compatible dropper remote allowed me to get the controls where I like them, although I'd like to rotate the display toward me a bit, but it hits the brake lever clamp.

Looks like i run my brakes out much further than you . I have my stock dropper lever squeezed in the middle of the brake where an ispec dropper would go otherwise. So my bar pretty much looks like yours only further out. Guess I'll just throw it in emtb and ride the damn thing. Hopefully they'll come up with a mount sometime. It's the only thing I really dislike about the bike so far besides the MoCo damper.

The brake levers are set up for one finger braking.

Now I'm tempted to take it all apart and start over - but I know I'd end up right where I am now.

I've done it 2 or 3 times and always end up with the same placement.
