Yes I passed my bike over a gate and the bars went around and pulled on the cable which snapped the clamp. Ive now gone back to standard clamps which I prefer as can position brakes better for 1 fingered braking

Which side of yours broke as I have a spare

Several sizeable crashes in the Alps for me recently and mine are fine. They were Hope/SRAM though.

I don't use the matchmaker clamps, but I did overtighten the bolt on my RH SRAM shifter clamp the other day, so I now need a new clamp. Not having any luck finding any anywhere else, so just adding my tuppenceworth here. Please drop me an email if you have one!

Sorry don't have a spare standard clamp, did you try emailing Fisher? I've received FOC parts in the past from them, as they sometimes have some old shifters/mechs that have been returned and stripped down for spares.
