Morning all,
I'm doing a budget build; decent parts but bought on the cheap. Picked up some xt m780 I spec b shifters and have lined up some formula the one fr brakes for end of month. Problem is, formula dont matchmake with I spec.
Options are a) buy bar mount adapters for the shifters, b) find a matchmaker or c) pull out of the brake purchase.
C isn't really much of an option as I've told matey I'll take them and am a man of my word, so wouldn't want to go back on it. Also, formula the one fr with rotors for 75 quid seems too good to pass up on.
Kcnc do bar mount adapters for £25. I could try to mod some hope matchmakers for the same price. Or, given that the brakes plus mounts will be comin to 100, just buy some xt brakes.
What would you do

A. Or flog the shifters and buy ones with clamps0

Does Anyone know if m980 clamps fit on m780 shifters?0

Sorted a set of xtr clamps which I hope will fit on xt shifters.
These...
To go on these...
Hope they fit!
Will update once I get them for anyone else who has this issue at any point.

Give me a PM if not. I've got the correct xt housings/clamps from when I converted mine to ispec0

Sorted. There's a cheeky screw in the back which baffled me for a few secs but pretty easy.
Remove 4mm Allen key screw
Remove 3 big and 1 small back plate screws (small Philips screwdriver but pozi 0 worked for me)
Pop front off, remove silver grub screw
Remove spacer
Fit replace everything, fit mounts, admire
