What do I need to fit? It appears that shimano have changed ispec again.

Or has anyone seen bar clamps adapters for the previous gen anywhere cheap? Can't really be arsed with this every time I upgrade a component.

The ispec ii m8000 brake levers aren't compatible with I spec b shifters I'm afraid.

Probably these two will work? I am not sure if the shifter adapter fits, but the idea is to convert both to SRAM Matchmaker :D.

Ok an idea, if anyone has a cheaper 10 speed shifter (Deore or slx or something) could they do me a favour and see if the bar clamp bit is bolted on (so basically I can use that clamp on an xtr shifter)

It's a shame that they couldn't have kept prototype A and prototype B where they should have, behind closed doors.

Ah ha that kcnc clamp looks like the job, sure someone must have solved it. Thanks very much!

As for the IPSec, it does seem to be a lot of bolts and fiddly bits for something pretty straightforward really.
