what shimano shifter to use with Hope Tech M4s?

chubby666

Hi All , could anyone with Hope Tech M4 brakes give me some advise on what shifter you use as my old Shimano Deore does'nt fit comfortably ive cut the window out but still cant gain enough room to shift that well . is there a particular one designed for M4 brake levers or at least one that i can use a bit more comfortably !

try the xt ones, once you take the window off you can move the shifter along the bar relative to the clamp.

SLX work well too

try and get some of their matchmaker type clamps, I have some Avid clamps and they fit straight in, then i just bolted my X.0's to them and they fit like a glove, there is a Shimano version made by Hope.

Or the XTR is adjustable for sideways movement. Good excuse for an upgrade :twisted:

Would the Hope Tech direct mounts work?

yeah, but sram shifters would require new mechs...

Hope make direct mounts for both Shimano & SRAM.

Depends on the fittings of your current shifters, ie bolt holes. But yes they are what I meant, CRC stock them, but don't have any, not sure about other places.

18bikes in hope had stock of shimano and sram match maker clamps when i was there the other week.

i'm running the new XT shifters with them (windows removed) and they fit perfectly.
