Are they any good?

My options are complicated by either getting something I can get an adaptor for to hang my SRAM shifters off, or fork out the £40 for a couple of teeny tiny brackets for them, which is frankly daylight robbery!

Failing that - other suggestions? Mismatch jobs don't seem to work with current ISpec B Shimano levers which has scuppered thoughts of some Zees!

Well as they aren't available yet I doubt anyone will have much experience with them

It is non-matchmaker clamps that I was looking at since the bike came with matchmakers attached.... £20 per shifter!!!

Didn't realise they weren't available since they are listed as "in stock" on a few sites 😉 The reason for my worry is I had Mono M4s once upon a time and they were pretty underwhelming.

In this case I'm confused, is it the Sram bit that's £20 an end.

Yeah - £20 for a little ring thingy to attach to my shifter pods.

Got a quote from my lbs yesterday having said if they are £15 - £20 for a pair to go for it, but £20 each... p*ss right off
