Does anyone know if it is possible to join an XT M780 (non ispec) shifter to a Formula RX brake?
I've had a look at some options such as Hope Tech matchmakers as it was suggested in another thread that they could work but looking on the compatibility sheet they dont fit M780.
Alternatively is there a way to join an Avid/Sram Matchmaker to this shifter as these are what are currently on the bike so i know the Formula clamp fits.
Thanks
Yes to both questions, but I'm not sure it's worth the (financial) effort. Parts list:
- I-spec B covers (you will only use the covers)
- PS Mismatch 2.1 brackets (will replace the silver bits on the I-spec covers)
- Formula Matchmaker clamps (only if you use the Formula brakes)

Blimey Charlie, that does seem rather steep 😯
Its a shame as I prefer my XT's/Formulas to the Sram/Avids the bike came with but like a nice tidy bar as well lol
I seem to remember Hope matchmaker clamps fitting Formula brakes.
