Hope x2 brakes and xt shifters?

What’s the crack. Can’t seem to get them in a comfortable position. Tried having brakes closer to the grips, tried it the other way round but still can’t get it “right” I think also that my bars start to bend too soon as well if you know what i mean which ain’t helping, any help appreciated apart from “get a new set of bars or different brakes”
Would matchmakers help with this problem?

Yes; or take the display windows off if they are M770’s

The usual problem……buy hope match makers.5

Bought the matchmakers, took the windows off.
Seems just right now.

matchmakers on mine, feel spot on but they’re quite a distance from my grips so the brake levers are in ideal position for one finger braking. I have got wide bars though so plenty of room

Mine are fine with no matchmaker.
Took the windows off.

As above!

Thanks folks, seem to have it sorted now, don’t use the shifter windows anyway but does anyone have a picture with them set up with matchmakers?
