Brifter to shifter adaptor bracket for Shimano Altus?

Tricky1977 · Sep 9, 2018

I’d like to repurpose these Altus Brifters as shifter but can’t find an adaptor anywhere
I have only seen them specifically to fit hope brakes etc. Surely they would be really simple?

My ideas?

Lol WTF!
Fairly sure I could knock my own up from scratch for less than €150 is that paying for the development as well?

Thanks for the link though Pops

Re:

Magura made plastic ones, xlite also made them. They were aimed at m900 but may fit.

An alternative would be to get some standard shifters like stx and lunch the clamps as I believe they work but you'd have arguably better shifters.

Ah thanks! It was the x-ite ones that got me thinking but I can’t find any even on eBay... did x-lite go to the wall?

Re:

They did, a long time ago but are still around in some guise I think.

Used to have some xlite ones but sold them ages ago now.

I usually buy the stx or alivio shifter pods to use their nice clamps for my XTRs ...
