Hello guys,
Could someone please tell me which shifter of XT M8000/SLX M7000 is compatible with the XT M785 brake lever? I want to mount it as one piece on my handlebar so do i get I spec II or I spec B???

Thanx!

    Depends which version of the M785 lever you have.....

    If it's an I-spec (a) it can only use an I-spec (a) shifter, if it's the later I-spec B then it can take an original or an I-spec B.
