Like e4's, don't see the need for tool free adjustments (honestly when do you really need to change the lever angle mid-ride; and even if you did in such a hurry that you couldn't afford to get a 3mm out?).

Can't for the life of me find any adapters to fit shimano or sram-style shifters and dropper levers to them. Have they just stopped being made? If so, this wastes all the advantage of the weight loss of a race lever because now you have to put a separate clamp on your bars (which I find offensive anyway).

Wolf tooth do some for Magura levers, they mate OK with E4s, they replace the c-shaped clamp, suspect they would work OK with Race too.

@honourablegeorge

Race shifter mounts split on the horizontal (top / bottom) whereas tech mounts split on the vertical like magura. Sadly they don't work together.

Maybe but I doubt it.  Ask a friendly bike shop if they can order them?  The Race Evo was always the rarer light weight option and now it has been superseded by the XCR I don’t think you are going to find much in stock.  Hope are pretty good at keeping stuff available though

Race LH shifter mount is in stock at Wiggle. Can this be used with a dropper?

I may have a R/H SRAM one spare if you needed it.
Kind Regards,
Max

Turns out none of these are bodgeable with any of the new 11-12sp shimano mounts. Either those linked by turnerfan or the "xtr" ones from wiggle (bought some, will return).

Sram only or wait for XCR's. Shame, as I hate the tech 3 lever but the race is lovely.
