What the checker says1will not fit

Run variant by variant through the mountain bike builder’s own engine. Every sentence below is the checker’s, unedited. Nothing here says this part fits your bike; it says what it does and does not fit among the parts we hold.

Checked against 6082 verified mountain bike parts in this catalog. 6081 produced no finding of any kind. Each variant produces 1 distinct error and 0 distinct warnings.

Will not fit

  • Will not fiterror · ShifterShifter mount: Shimano CUES SL-U8000-11IR is a I-Spec II lever-integrated shifter (no bar clamp of its own), and the brake levers take I-Spec B / I-Spec EV / MatchMaker X, so it does not bolt to them. The band-clamp version of the shifter, or a ShiftMount-style adapter, is what bridges that. A shim or adapter may make other sizes or standards work, but that is a modification, not a fit. On 1 of the 53 verified shifters in this catalog. Applies to all 4 variants.
The checker compares the dimensions listed in what we check, and what we don’t. “No conflicts found” means no conflict among those dimensions — not a guarantee that a build works. Errors mean it won’t fit; warnings mean it works but check; infos are notes.

5 further fields the checker looks for are not published by Formula, so we leave them blank rather than estimate them, and those 5 checks stay silent on this front brake. They are maximum rotor, excludes rotor, maximum rotor evidence, design rotor thickness and design rotor thickness maximum. Each is recorded as “not stated by the maker (not checked)”.

Checked against

The checker ran this model against every verified part below that it has a slot for, the same way it checks a build in the builder. What follows is the verdict it actually produced for that specific pairing — not a recommendation, and not a guarantee any of these parts fits your own bike.

6 of 1862 counterparts with a page of their own that the checker actually probed this model against, in alphabetical order by brand and model — never by price, popularity or the verdict itself.
