SRAM S500 Brake Levers

These are designed specifically for single-speed or single-chainring setups. They lack the integrated shifting mechanisms found on standard road bike levers, so they will not work with a derailleur system.

These levers are designed for short-pull mechanical brakes, such as road-style rim calipers or mechanical disc brakes that specifically require short-pull actuation. They are not compatible with long-pull brakes, like those found on mountain bikes.

The levers feature an integrated adjustment screw that allows you to move the lever blade closer to or further from the handlebar. This is helpful for riders with smaller hands or those who prefer a specific finger engagement point.

You will need standard road-style brake cables with a pear-shaped head. Mountain bike cables with a cylindrical head will not seat correctly in the lever mechanism.

Yes, the ergonomics are designed with a smooth, rounded profile that fits naturally in the hand. The cold-forged aluminum construction provides a solid, vibration-dampening feel that helps reduce hand fatigue over longer distances.
