Claris ST-RS200 Flat Bar Shift/Brake Lever - Left 2 Speed

The Shimano Claris ST - RS200 Left 2 - Speed Flat Bar Shift and Brake Lever is a great choice for flat - bar bikes. It provides a clean cockpit look. The Rapidfire Plus system enables quick shifting, allowing riders to downshift three gears in one smooth stroke. The Optislick shift cable has a thin and uniform electrically coated layer. This improves cable routing efficiency and offers excellent corrosion resistance (brake cable not included). The brake lever comes with a reach adjust mechanism to customize the distance from the handlebar grip to the lever. It also features an optical gear display and has a 22.2 mm clamp band. Technical specs include adjustable reach, left - side brake lever use, gray/black color, and compatibility with Shimano Flatbar Road front derailleurs and shifters.

Using the Shimano Claris ST - RS200 shift and brake lever is easy. To shift gears, simply use the Rapidfire Plus mechanism to quickly change gears, and you can downshift three gears in one go. When using the brake, pull the lever towards the handlebar grip. You can adjust the reach of the brake lever to make it more comfortable for your hand size. Just use the reach adjust mechanism to set the right distance from the grip to the lever. As for maintenance, keep the shift cable clean and check the coating regularly for any signs of wear. Since the cable has good corrosion resistance, it should last a long time, but if you notice any issues, consider replacing it. Also, make sure the clamp band is tightened properly to keep the lever securely in place on the handlebar.
