SRAM S500 Brake Levers

No, the SRAM S500 levers are designed specifically for mechanical road caliper brakes. They use a short pull cable actuation, which is not compatible with mechanical disc brakes or linear-pull rim brakes.

These levers are non-shifting, meaning they do not have the internal mechanisms to operate a front or rear derailleur. They are intended exclusively for single-speed or single-chainring setups where you only need to control the brakes.

The S500 levers feature an integrated adjustment screw that allows you to move the lever blade closer to or further from the handlebar. This is particularly useful if you have smaller hands or prefer a specific lever position for better braking leverage.

No, these are designed specifically for drop handlebars. The clamp diameter and the ergonomics of the lever body are shaped to fit the curves of a road-style drop bar.

The S500 levers are constructed from cold-forged, anodized aluminum, which offers a significant step up in durability and stiffness compared to stamped or cast aluminum levers. This construction provides a more solid, responsive feel when you pull the lever.
