Right I’m sure I’m not the first here and I’m betting I won’t be the last.

I recently bought some Shimano M8000 drivetrain components.

I have I-spec A brakes and the shifter I have bought is I-spec B. I knew all this in advance and as in the image below, they are compatible using the right fixings but I assumed (perhaps naively) that given the ridiculous revisions Shimano have made, they would include the 0.05p worth of fitting hardware to accommodate any of the possible combinations.

Apparently I was wrong.

Anyone got one of those cylinder nuts kicking around spare?

Yeah, I was kind of hoping someone might have one kicking about that I could buy for significantly less.

£9 essentially for 1x 0.05p nut, screw that. I’ll send the shifter back and get a bar mount one instead if nobody has a spare nut.
