Thanks for buying a Problem solvers mismaTCh2!

Clean up your handlebars with the MisMatch Adapter. Version 2 allows you to 
connect your Shimano I-Spec™ compatible shifters to your Avid hydraullic 
brake levers via SRAM’s MatchMaker™ clamp (to perform the opposite 
connection, see MisMatch Adapter Verson 1). Enjoy.

Torque wrench

insTallaTion:

Remove the Right Shifter’s I-Spec Integration Unit
NOTE: 

Let’s be honest with ourselves—we’re going to be messing with the 

innards of a shifter. Make sure to be working in a clean, open space so you can 
keep track of everything. If you’ve ever tried to find small replacement parts for 
these types of components, you know: DON’T LOSE ANYTHING!

NOTE:

 We demonstrate this installation using a Shimano Saint Shifter 

(SL-M820-I). While most of the steps are the same, we STRONGLY 
RECOMMEND you visit Shimano’s website to view the installation instructions 
and diagram of your shifter: techdocs.shimano.com
1.  Start by removing the top bolt of the unit using a 4mm Allen wrench  

(figures 1–2). Save this bolt; you’re going to need it.
