Anyone know which adaptor is needed to attach an I-spec 2 shifter to a MT5 brake?

Found a hope one on CRC but not sure which is the right one (if any)

Cheers ๐Ÿ™‚

I've got MT trail sports and used the Magura shiftmix adaptors.

I'm not sure which is which when I comes to I spec stuff but I think I have I spec ii (Is that the same as I spec 2?).

I had to use the adaptors for the opposite sides though as I couldn't get the shifters close enough using them the 'correct' way round. Good job I am still using a front mechs on this bike so had ordered left and right!!

I'm guessing it fits something like the image below, looks like it should work fine

Yeah, on that pic the adaptor holds the shifter in board of the brake, but I found I couldn't reach the levers as I like my finger right in the hook of the brake level. so I had to swap them round so the shifter was closer to the grips. Fine if you have both sides but if you're only using one as most will nowadays, it could be a bit dodgy. Or I'm just a freak!!

I think I have 1 spare one in the shed, not sure which side. If you send me an email to remind me on Saturday I'll dig it out and you can have it for postage.

i had similar with mine, mt6, had to swap them round to get the feel right.
i have moved to di2, so have a set of adaptors if you want them, drop me an email and i'll sort them out.

Cheers all, not sure which side adaptor would work best as no idea how i'll want to set these levers up yet. Sent surfingobo and richen987 messages, happy to pay postage or whatever if you have adaptors going spare ๐Ÿ™‚
