So I’ve ordered new Saint brakes and currently run a 12 speed XT shifter and a Shimano dropper lever which both currently use I-Spec EV on SLX levers
So turns out the Saint levers are I-Spec B and no struggling to find a solution to mount both
Anyone done this and know what I can do without paying £60 for 2 wolftooth adapters
Cheers

I've no idea sorry, the constant changing of Shimano 'combiners' blows my teeny mind. Is it wrong to say 'Matchmaker'

I ended up changing the shifters I was running - selling the old ones meant it was cheaper than an adaptor.

Aye I’m thinking a bar mount shifter is best option
3 quid of a difference between Deore and SLX

clamp
I'm pretty sure you can get a band on clamp so the levers are not directly mounted to the brakes.

Yeah, unfortunately, I-spec is something that Shimano can't seem to stop fiddling with that AVID/SRAM got bob-on years ago. And Saint is desperately in need of an update.
