I seem to remember that there was a hope one that was the same bolt spacing as the standard bar clamp, but can't remember which it was.. 😕

Just had a quick search.

I run a formula oro with a hope matchmaker. The formula bolts are M3 whereas the holes in the hope matchmaker are clearance for M4, however as I only ever nip the bolts up so slack that they can move in a crash, it makes no difference.

Guy's, im trying to settle on which clamp to order but my mind is blown..

I barely understand what i-spec-b mean's, let alone find a compatible clamp from the details provided - can one of you help this numpty out?

I intend to fit a Formula R0 brake to a Saint M820 i-spec B 10sp shifter.
Haven't purchased the shifter yet, so can pick up a standard bar clamp version instead if i'm unable to work out which matchmaker to purchase.

Not done this myself but I'm sure I read a thread on here about it, but been unable to find it.
It went something along the lines of getting some of [url= http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/formula-clamp-mixmaster-for-r1-the-one-oval-right-68659/wg_id-4477 ]these[/url] and then some of the [url= http://problemsolversbike.com/products/mismatch_adapters ]Mismatch 2.0[/url] adapters and sticking it all togther.
RM.
p.s. This is only from my (known to be full of crap) memory.
