SLX Brakes question...

[alexwc46]

Wonder if someone can help me out.

 

I'm wanting to place an order on easybike for a set of slx brakes. Does anyone know which lever is connected to the front and which is connected to the rear? I see on chain reaction they give you an option but not on easybike.

 

Hoping its a right - rear, left - front.

I replaced an slx lever without having to bleed the system again. You might be lucky if you need to change them around. It is a sealed system, so in theory you should be able to disconnect and swap. This may work, but there are no guarantees.

Right Rear, Left Front seems to be the default in most cases. It also happens to be the wrong way

Right - rear

Left - front

 

Different from the avids I used to have, and the reason for my dislocated should.

The yanks love right-front, left-rear.

Thanks for all the comments. Appreciate it

Also read Right Rear Left Front was wrong way, so changed it.

Nearly fell on my face the first few times I braked as it has been ingrained in my since childhood to pull on the brakes right first , left second.

Switched it back very quickly and am now quite happy to ride it wrong.

 

Although, if I recall correctly, Don't Europeans also ride on the wrong side of the road, or is that us ?
