problem solvers for M8100 XT?

[Cropduster]

The Avid brakes on my Zesty are now history, i've ordered and installed Shimano XT8100 which should be fine however my bar space is now very minimal and cluttered
looking on line it seems i have I-Spec-EV (please correct me if i'm wrong here) and the Sram XO 11 speed shifter has "Matchmaker" clamps, so on the RHS i'm looking to share one perch for both and i can't seem to find one anywhere...

On the LHS i have my RockShox dropper button which i would like to share with the XT brake perch, again, no luck
I also have a Fox CTD remote but i can easily move that if needed

Anyone point me in the right direction? all i can find is I-Spec A and B and I-Spec 2

You may be able to mount up the matchmaker directly to the XT levers? May not be able to tilt the shifter far enough back/up though, EV has a lower range of movement backwards than matchmaker.

Mount this little doohickey up to the lever and see if it works for you?

 

[Cropduster]

what's that little "doohickey" called and where do i get one?

Thanks!

 

[Isaakk]

Don't already have one attached to your shifter/MMX clamp? It's the standard matchmaker hardware afaik, can be found online by searching "SRAM - Avid MMX Matchmaker Shifter Mounting Bracket".

ahh ok, i didn't disassemble my shifter, just moved it over.... i'll go look now, thanks

Dont go there leave it as it is.

Problemsolvers do not current make a mismatch adapter for the new Shimano EV standard.
I suggest emailing them to see if this will be available in the near future.

Here's the Wolftooth EV to MMX adapter that should solve the 8100XT brake to X0 shifter:

Edit: also available from mtbdirect.

Although if I understand @Isaakk correctly, the MMX shifter clamp interface might work with the I-Spec EV clamp without an adapter (they certainly look similar)?

Not so sure on the LHS - the RS dropper clitoris has an integrated clamp doesn't it?

Yeah I'm waiting on this too.
I have spec EV brake levers... But no adapters for shifter and dropper.

Thanks Isaak

I used that "Doohicky" on my Shimano perch and the Sram XO 11 speed shifter fits, just, but it fits, i quite like where everything fits too, although i haven't tried it on a long ride yet

Wow, after seeing that I think Shimano should definitely fess up in the COFW thread!

Shimano: Hey guys, we've done it again and made another generation of controls that don't integrate with the last ones, winning!!
Riders: You realise it fits SRAM basically perfectly now, right?
Shimano: ..... shit...
