Hello all,

The story: Just replaced my old Kona of 1998 vintage! Want to swap out the Formula brakes on the new bike so bought a set of XT M785's. The shifters are SRAM X7.

Now, as you can see from the age of my old bike, things have moved on a bit. The shifters will not mount to the brakes, Ispec B and matchmaker don't play together.

Are there any ready made brackets other than Problem Solvers or the Trickstuff Matshi things? The price of those things are ridiculous.

Thanks.

    Had to bite the bullet. Went with Matshi 14 in the end.
