I was just swapping the XT thumbies on my Brodie for a pair of Suntour XCD ones this afternoon - the last piece of the puzzle to complete the full XCD groupset. As I was tightening the LH shifter clamp I felt that little 'clunk' as the bolt threaded the clamp and started to spin :cry:
Ouch.
Ironic that it happened with the Suntour set. The XT thumbies are famous for that.
