[Closed] XT 10-speed Bar mount shifter - position adjustment

On the last pair of shifter I bought (a good few years ago), the bar attachment was movable via a couple of allen-key screws.

These new ones do not appear to have that adjustment. & they do not line up with my Hope brake levers very nicely.

Is there a widget I can buy to improve this ?

Alternatively I am being daft & have missed something.
Looking at the [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-slx-m660-10-speed-trigger-shifter/rp-prod80954 ]SLX version[/url], it still has that adjustment.

Aye, the new XTs (780s) are a pain especially with Hope levers as there's no adjustment, I run them myself.

The SLXs look like the old adjustable 770 XTs, in terms of ergonomics they would be the better option.

I think Hope where working on new matchmakers to mate the 780s with their levers, wouldn't hold your breath though.

Wish I'd known. I would have got the SLXs instead.

Get the ispec covers and the hope mounts. I was going to do that until I found an m770-10 on eBay.
