Hello,
I’ve got a 10 speed XT shifter, not the current one, the one before, whatever version that is, a black one with a wee window on the top. I also have a Hope Tech brake lever.
The brake lever is quite bulky and I catch my thumb when attempting to shift down the block. I cannot get both positioned right and avoid this, one or other will be out of place, or both, or my thunb will rub.
Would getting one of those combined shifter/brake lever mounts solve the problem? I can’t find one for my shifter so would have to buy an XTR shifter to do this. Happy to do so if it solves the problem, but it’s a fair bit of money to chuck at something which may not work. How adjustable are these shared mounts, will I be able to find a suitable position? Ideally I need to move the shifter levers more towards the outside of the bar, but can’t at present as the lever clamp is in the way.
Thanks
