The SRAM will probably work just fine, I just don't care for it but in the end especially on the MTB/Flat Bar side is just fine. I mean if I could do a 1X11 set up with AXS and use the Zirbel shifter that would be pretty neat. It is such a small compact shifter.
Not to go off on SRAM but I had to replace the Level T brakes that came with my Farley 7 with under 150 miles on the bike. Not only did they squeal like a pig despite replacing pads and rotors, but the front brake just completely failed one day on a descent, hydro fluid leaking all over the place. Replaced with Shimano and problem solved.
