I like the idea of the matchmaker but i run my shifter inboard from my brake....therefore i ruled it out and figured i can't run it.....but....i was thinking, what if i ran the left matchmaker on my right side?

would the shifter clear?.....has anyone tried this?

i was cruising through sicklines and saw a good picture of the pair....

if you were a blackbox racer you would get these - otherwise get creative with the dremel.

yes it work. i have done it as well on my xc bike with both shifters. i perfer it the other was though and that is the way it is currently setup. also as an added benefit they are lighter and give your bar a super clean look. in my option there really is not a down side. also i will say that i'm running the formula version and they actually let you side the shifter about 5mm left and right. this allows you to put the shifter in any position that you want unlike the sram ones (not that the sram ones are bad)

Do matchmakers fit on hayes mag levers?

With enough duct tape, anything is possible!

But seriously that's an interesting question that I can't answer.

but in order to run the shifter as far inboard as i'd like, i would need to run the left matchmaker on the right lever set.....is that what you do?

Ian, it'll work fine. They're intended to work either way (left or right side).

You can have my left one if you want it, just pay postage and its yours. (i gotta find it first...)

Another added plus of the Matchmaker is becuase of its svelte design it will be the first to go in a crash, thereby protecting your shifter and brake from taking all the impact. The bad thing about this is trying to find a replacement quickly (all the shops in Whistler were out of them) so make sure you carry the regular clamps with you as backups.

i Have mine set up inboard and it works great.

if someone else has a left one, ill take it!
