  • HOPE X2 Brakes Attaching to XT I-spec shifters–impossible??

    Hi,
    I’ve just got new X2 brakes which I’m trying to attach to my XT I-spec shifters…I’ve done a bit of research and from what I can gather either I can use the XTR mount and it’ll be easy-peasy or other threads say it’s completely impossible.
    It looks like I can simply undo the silver I-spec mount and bolt the XTR matchmaker clamp in its place??….my shifters have M780 on them (no i) but they were bought as I-spec, not converted.
    If anyone could shed some light on this I’d be gratefull

    Cheers, Paul

    I’ve just done this with a set of XTR shifters and it seems to have worked fine. I followed the instructions on the wee leaflet that came with the matchmaker clamps and all was well.
