..... Thanks to our friends at Hope Technology.

Lots of partial information on the net about this, but here is clear evidence that a Formula RX lever can works with the very latest I-spec B shifters via Hope Matchmakers for the Tech lever.

Hope sell these in either black or silver and individually as well as in pairs. The bracket shown here is specifically for the SLX shifter, but there are lots of other versions too.

The clamp doesn't match the standard Formula clamp perfectly, but in black, you simply don't notice and the fit & alignment is spot-on.

Nice, that, very tidy. I reckon for the asymetric Formulas like my R1s and The Ones, it'd be pretty straightforward to combine a Formula matchmaker with an Ispec lever but when I mocked it up it all looked a bit fragile, this wouldn't work with my brakes mind but looks far better.

In the end I just mounted both conventionally, no problems, but I do like matchmakers.
