SRAM TT 500 Brake Lever

No, these are specifically designed for time trial and triathlon base bars. They require a reverse-mount installation into the end of the bar, so they are not compatible with standard drop-bar brake setups.

These levers require an internal handlebar diameter greater than 19mm to fit the expansion plug mechanism securely.

No, the SRAM TT 500 levers are designed for road pull cable actuation. They are compatible with standard road caliper and cantilever brakes, but not with mechanical disc brake systems.

No, the levers do not include cables or housing. You will need to purchase compatible road brake cables and housing separately to complete your installation.

The internal routing design allows the brake cable to run directly through the handlebar, which creates a cleaner, more aerodynamic cockpit. Keep in mind that this requires handlebars that are specifically drilled or designed to accommodate internal cable routing.

The integrated return springs ensure the lever blade snaps back to its original position immediately after you release it. This provides a consistent, crisp, and responsive feel during braking, which is especially helpful when you need quick modulation during technical sections.
