SRAM Rival 10 Speed Gear Shift Lever features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Gear Shifters. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of SRAM Rival 10 Speed Gear Shift Lever.

The first thing is material. Looking at what SRAM Rival 10 Speed Gear Shift Lever is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Gear Shifters. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Gear Shifters. Brands like SRAM are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Gear Shifters category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

• Description: SRAM Rival 10 Speed Gear Shift LeverSRAM’s Rival 10 Speed Gear Shift Lever is built around SRAM’s DoubleTap technology and offers a performance advantage that other competition level shifters can’t touch. The Rival shifter utilises a single lever for shifting and a dedicated lever for braking.Alternative cable routing options allow for both brake and shifter cables to run along either side of the handlebar for optimum rider comfort. SRAM Rival also incorporates the popular reach adjust feature, which SRAM invented, and allows riders to customise their brake and shift levers. Now every rider has a choice on positioning their DoubleTap levers.Features: Material:¬†Carbon Fibre brake lever, Aluminium shift lever Speed:¬†10-Speed Cable pull ratio: Exact actuation Weight:¬†320gTechnologies: DoubleTap shifting – this makes changing gears easier and faster, eliminating the cumbersome and awkward engagement associated with two-lever systems. DoubleTap handles up and downshifts in one short, sweeping motion, with minimal effort and maximum comfort no matter where you are on the bars. With short, rapid taps the transport pawl moves the ratchet wheel and up through the shifting range. Downshifting comes via a longer sweep of the lever (in the same inward direction you upshift, but to an ergonomically maximised 15¬∞ angle) with the holding pawl and the transport pawl leapfrogging each other quickly and smoothly. Exact Actuation:¬†When SRAM launched their road technology from scratch they reapplied their MTB proven SRAM 1:1 actuation ratio (shifter cable travel: derailleur movement) for 10 speed rear shifting. EA helps to simplify/stabilise the uneasy act of balancing rear derailleur hanger design, tight cog spacing and exact cable tension. The result: the easiest index shifting system to set up and it stays that way ZeroLoss:¬†Simply means, well, zero loss‚Äîwhen you push on the lever, for an upshift or down shift, the cable is engaged instantly‚Äîzero loss of movement. There is no middle ground where you’re waiting for the shift to come. Gear changes are instant and preciseBuy¬†SRAM Components¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
