Just wondering if there is anyway to put some adaptor or clamp on my 12 speed Shimano XT shifter, that will drop the whole unit and levers down a little? To make shifting easier? As they are right now, they are really really close to the underside of the bar, and it's super hard to up shift since that button is so close to the bar and grip.
You can see here what I'm referring to. The red center lines are how it is right now. To close to the bar and makes it extremely difficult to upshift.
The blue lines are where I'd like the levers to be. Down farther
Here, it seems as if the levers ARE down farther and using some special adaptor or clamp I don't have. I just have the std round on the bar clamp. Doesn't hold my brakes and the shifter. Just the brand new 2021 Shimano XT shifter. I also realize, this photo could just make it "seem" like the shifters are lower because of a camera angle glitch or something. But they sure do look lower.
So just wondering if there is anything I can do to drop the entire assembly and levers down even just a few mm's or more with a different adaptor or clamp? Thanks
