Mintman Posted April 19, 2017 Share Hey guys, sorry for yet another forum... I'm just a bit confused about the mount options for the M7000 brakeset. The CWC website states that they come with I-spec B and I-spec II options (here). But other sites (here, for example) clearly state: Only mountable to I-Spec II! Not compatible to I-Spec A or I-Spec B! Bottom line is I want to integrate my right brake with my I-spec B shifter. Do you know what integration options are provided stock standard?

Meezo Posted April 19, 2017 Share mail CWC online or better call them, they saying they have 2 options, but only have 1 on the drop down, best call them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually ordered mine from Easybike, since it was cheaper. But I'll call CWC and see what they say. Easybike didn't seem to think it was an issue.

PeterF Posted April 19, 2017 Share From the Chainreaction website :- "These levers are I-Spec II compatible only. They can only be used with Shimano 11 speed I-Spec II mtb shifters. If you are using 10 speed you will have to use a bar clamp shifter." Mintman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr lee Posted April 19, 2017 Share All new SLX M7000, XT M8000 and XTR M9000 brakes are I spec II and require an I spec II compatible shifter to integrate into the brake clamp thus taking advantage of the slim look and lower weight. The shifters are also available in Clamp and I spec B to allow integration to older braking systems as well as other manufacturers. Think that is a typo on the CWC site....

Mintman Posted April 19, 2017 Share Damn it. You and Peter are right. It's only I-spec II. Guess I'll have to go the bar clamp route. Sigh...Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterF Posted April 19, 2017 Share Damn it. You and Peter are right. It's only I-spec II. Guess I'll have to go the bar clamp route. Sigh... Thanks guys.I have a set of XT 2/3x10 shifters (bar clamp). PM me if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mintman Posted April 19, 2017 Share I have a set of XT 2/3x10 shifters (bar clamp). PM me if you are interested. Thanks Peter, I'm running 1x10 so would be interested in only rear shifter. I'm sure you want to keep them as a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mintman Posted April 19, 2017 Share Doesn't it seem a bit weird that by buying new XT or SLX brakes, you're pretty much committing to buying 11 speed shifters, rear derailleur, cassette, and chain? Like this stuff isn't expensive enough. I'm sure there are more people who are happy enough with their 1x10 or 2x10 than there are people dying to upgrade. Ay, caramba!

Meezo Posted April 19, 2017 Share no its not, just accept to run the brakes and shifters separately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mintman Posted April 19, 2017 Share no its not, just accept to run the brakes and shifters separately For sure. What threw me was that I originally wanted my LBS to replace my SRAM X9 rear derailleur and X7 shifter with Shimano XT and SLX (bcos I wanted a shorter cage + clutch). But they didn't want to do it, simply because of the mismatch between avid brakes and Shimano shifter. And here I am again, with a mismatch between Shimano parts. I would have been perfectly happy with a separate clamp to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterF Posted April 19, 2017 Share Check with Evobikes if they don't perhaps have some Problem Solver Mismatch adapters that will work. Mintman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mintman Posted April 19, 2017 Share Check with Evobikes if they don't perhaps have some Problem Solver Mismatch adapters that will work. Shot Peter, I'll give them a call tom. I know they had the mismatch adaptor 2 option for integrating Shimano and Sram with one clamp. Maybe they'll know of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
