Product Information

Full details

The TRP RRL SR Brake Levers are designed for cyclists who appreciate classic aesthetics combined with modern functionality, particularly those building single-speed, fixed-gear, or custom bicycles. Their key benefit is the integration of a race-quality lever with a classic look and a convenient quick-release system. A potential caveat for some users might be the non-integrated shifter design, which requires separate shifter components if not used on a single-speed setup.

FAQs

Are these levers compatible with integrated shifters?

No, the TRP RRL SR Brake Levers are designed as stand-alone brake levers and do not have integrated shifter functionality. They are ideal for single-speed, fixed-gear, or custom builds where separate shifters are used or not needed.

What is the purpose of the drilled lever?

The drilled design serves two main purposes: it enhances the lever's aesthetic appeal with a classic racing look, and it reduces the overall weight of the component.

How do I use the quick-release system?

Press the built-in push button on the lever. This will release tension on the brake cable, allowing for easier wheel removal or providing extra clearance for tires.

What colors are the hoods available in?

The TRP RRL SR Brake Levers are available with either gum or black hoods.

What is the weight of these levers?

The pair of TRP RRL SR Brake Levers weighs approximately 280 grams.

Can I use these on a road bike with gears?

Yes, you can use them on a geared road bike, but you will need to purchase and install separate shifters (e.g., bar-end or downtube shifters) as these levers do not include shifting capabilities.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels stiff or sticky.

Check the brake cable for kinks or damage. Ensure the cable is properly lubricated. Clean the lever pivot point and apply a small amount of lubricant.

Brakes are not engaging properly.

Verify that the brake cable is correctly tensioned. Ensure the brake calipers are properly adjusted and aligned with the rim. Check for excessive wear on brake pads.

Quick release button is difficult to operate.

Clean around the quick-release button mechanism. Check for any debris or obstructions. A small amount of lubricant may help restore smooth operation.

Hoods feel loose.

Ensure the hoods are properly seated onto the lever body. If they are worn or damaged, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The TRP RRL SR Brake Levers are designed to be mounted on standard drop handlebars. Installation involves securing the levers to the handlebar and connecting them to your bicycle's brake calipers via standard brake cables. Ensure cables are properly routed and tensioned for optimal braking performance. The quick-release button is integrated into the lever mechanism and requires no separate setup.

Compatibility: These levers are compatible with most standard road or cyclocross brake calipers. They are intended for use with single-speed, fixed-gear, or custom bicycle builds. If using on a geared bicycle, separate bar-end or downtube shifters will be required, as these levers do not have integrated shifting functionality.

Care: To maintain performance and appearance, regularly clean the levers with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish or the hood material. Periodically check brake cable tension and lubrication. Inspect the quick-release mechanism to ensure it operates smoothly.
