But you don’t need any  shift capability on the left. Save yourself the distraction and the weight by  installing this Force 1 Hydraulic Brake Lever with Flat Mount Caliper for the  left side of your drop bars and front brake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis  lever looks different than a traditional SRAM drop bar lever. That’s because  the lever body needed to be enlarged to house a reservoir for the hydraulic  fluid, which they also used as an excuse to make the lever body more  comfortable to grasp-the hood is longer, and easier to wrap your hands around. The  brake lever blade itself also changed. It’s longer to make it easier to reach  from the drop. As always, the reach to the lever blade can be adjusted  independently so you can easily reach them regardless of finger length or  handlebar bend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit  is set up so you can pull it out of the box and install the brake caliper and  lever on your bike with ease. You get the left lever, a hose filled with DOT  5.1 hydraulic fluid and a Red brake caliper just about ready to go. Thanks to  the Connectamajig, you thread the hose from the caliper mount through the fork,  or not, to the lever, and then re\/attach without having to drain and re-fill  the hoses. You’ll need a SRAM Bleed Kit, which includes fluid, syringe, and all  the small pieces necessary to finish the job. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  caliper is labeled Force, but is functionally SRAM’s Red road caliper, only  with stainless steel mounting hardware rather than titanium. It comes with all  the mounting hardware you need to set the calipers up on any disc-brake  compatible frame. The pistons are 18mm in diameter and the leverage is tuned  for road and ‘cross use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brake  does not come with a rotor. These caliper is designed to work best with a SRAM  160mm front rotor. Their CenterLine and CenterLine X Rotors are the recommended  braking surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lever  is made from molded carbon-fiber. The hood cover is textured rubber. The  caliper is fabricated out of forged aluminum. The included hardware is titanium.  The pads are organic and steel-backed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SRAM  Force 1 Hydraulic Brake Lever with Flat Mount Caliper is the best way to  provide front braking for your Force 1-equipped bike. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SRAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43705665650732,"sku":"00.5218.006.002","price":218.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/sram-force-1-hydraulic-brake-leverflat-mount-caliper-left-side-6947183.jpg?v=1771296734","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/sram-force-1-hydraulic-brake-lever-flat-mount-caliper-left-side","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
