[Closed] What clamp for mounting Guide brakes to bar after removing integrated Reverb?

My Reverb came fitted to my Guide brakes - have sold the Reverb and now have useless LHS brake lever.
Do I need a standard Avid Matchmaker clamp, and just remove the wiggly bit that normally attatches to shifter?

If so, the clamps seem to be LHS/RHS specific, is that the case and can they be sourced seperately?

You want an Avid/SRAM Hinge Clamp.

Normally the brakes come with these, but I guess you didn't get the box of bits with it.

Not sure about getting them after market, though seems they come in different sizes.

There's also a U Clamp which is just simply a clamp with no hinge and you push it onto the bars (careful you don't scratch them).

[s]Not sure about the MMX reference. Usually that means the extra MMX bit, which you can't remove so you don't want that. Picture is the hinge clamp though.[/s]

Scrap that, looks like the MMX clamps have a removable bit and then it just becomes a hinge clamp.

The U Clamp is a 'discrete' clamp.

Looks like Avid are about to score another £20. Unless anyone has a spare?..

Maybe http://www.bicyclehero.com/gb/avid-lever-mmx-clamp-elixir-cr-mag-xo-xx-black.html will do.

Says X0/XX and I think the Guide stuff is same fit, but don't hold me to that!

Never ordered from that place either so no idea what they're like.

Edit: Ah, yeah, the CRC one probably the same also.
