people say they work fine, and other says you need to do some modifying? im not a member (yet) so not contacted anyone so ask how they got this to work
any help?
Hi,
Yeah,using the current xt shifters with the Hope clamps.Did not buy any adaptors though.I bought the specific i-spec shifter with no bar clamp and they fitted fine.It does mean partially dismantling shifter to remove i-spec bracket and Hope even include sticker to cover hole exposed in shifter body.
Thanx Max
do you think you could post a few close up pics for me, please 😀
Hi,
Will get some photos up tomorrow as will be cleaning bike!
Thanx,

It's the HBSP263[u]N[/u] clamps you need with either the I-spec shifters or the I-spec adaptor kit.
Hi,
Pictures as promised.
