[Closed] Hope Tech Lever XT Shifter Confusion

[#3318824]

Thinking of getting some of those hope tech m4s on offer on Merlin.

If I buy new xt shifters are they compatible. I've got some 2005 xt shifters at present which I am sure aren't so compatible?

Anyone got a definitive answer?

TIA

New xt shifters are mountable but req the correct matchmaker clamps. Not sure about your 05 shifters.
Make sure you get the correct ones for the tech levers, not the race levers.
The tech m4s are great, only problem is that the lever bodies are wide and push the shifters quite far out from the grip, the matchmakers sorted this right out..

Cheers for the replies. Looks like winstanley's is sold out.

Are the matchmaker clamps for the brakes? Do hope sell them?

Well I'm jiggered if I can find a front post fit with braided hose or anything braided for the rear in stock on Winstanleys.
