Hoping someone can help me out with something. I'm building up a new bike and have bought a XT M8000 shifter (band clamp) and SLX M7100 brakes. In putting it all together I've found that the brakes have a but that protrudes and rests against the bars. This is preventing me getting the shifter anywhere near where it needs to be. Some research on the net seems to indicate that I need to use an I spec shifter. Is this right? Are these brakes I spec only?
If so, it appears that the M7100 brakes are for I spec ev, but the only 11 sp shifters I can find are I spec II. Any ideas on how I can get this to work?
