Hey,

I need a new left hand Sram Rival 1 shifter on my gravel bike. I’ve found a LH one of wiggle but it states it’s for a front brake only. Is it possible to use this on a rear caliper too?

Cheers,

Tom.

I guess what it means it's you getting a shifter and a calliper with a short hose to be used as front, euro style.

You can swap the hose, but to do it at the shifter you'll need to undo where the banjo goes in, swap it and bleed it.

Ah yeah that makes sense. Cheers.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
