I have a pair of Shimano XT BR M8000 i spec II compatible brakes, the ones that just band on with a hinge.
Want to keep the brakes as I like XT brakes.
I also have a sram rear mech, and 11 speed cassette plus a rear gear shifter ( 11 speed sram) which I would like to use.
How do I get the sram shifter to mount on the bars? I don't mind having a band on adapter, can't find a way of attaching the shifter to the xt brakes.
Currently the shifter is mounted on a different bike with the guide brakes by their special adapter etc.
Looked on the web, I must be thick because I can't seem to find out how to do this.
A simple band on for the gear shifter would be fine.
Cheapest I could find it is on [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SRAM-Trigger-Shifter-Discrete-Clamp-XX-X9-X7-X0-XX1-X01-Black-Color-/191845870168?var=&hash=item2caae7aa58:m:movio9TXSot1vFtCe5X28lw ]ebay[/url], but maybe you can ask around, usually these come with a new shifter and are never used.
You can also get a [url= https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brakes/problem-solvers-mismatch-12-adapter-shimano-ispecii-brakes-to-sram-matchmaker-shifters-rh-only/ ]20£ adapter[/url] that will fit the M8000 brakes for a neater look.
Just googled Sram shifter mount, and it turned up quite a few, Acycles and Ridewill.it seem to offer the simpler direct mount types, probably better than the brake clamp with adaper type.

Thanks everyone, just the job.
