I am getting a new bike and it comes with avid brakes and sram/ matchmaker clamps, does anyone know if i can just take off avid brakes and fit my hope tech brakes onto the sram matchmakers or do i need the hope matchmaker clamps and if so, anyone know if any stores have them in stock thanks
Dunno about the SRAM matchmakers working, but the Hope matchmakers work perfectly with my X9 shifters. If you can't find a local stockist try Hope direct

dont know about Avid but I tried similar with Hope tech levers and Formula matchmaker style clamps - didnt work because the hole spacing was very slightly out, which I probably could have got round but also a different size bolt - the Hope one was bigger. there was no way I could see to botch them together
I suspect strongly Avid will have similar issues
I ended up swopping my Formula matchmaker clamps with some plain X9 shifter brackets through this forum and now run seperate clamps for brake / shifter again (The hope matchmaker clamps where out of stock everywhere at the time but also quite expensive)
