ASSEMBLY

4.1 INSTALLING THE L2 REMOTE LEVER

NOTE: The L2 remote lever is compatible with the Matchmaker X interface. This allows the remote lever to be attached directly to the clamp of a Sram brake lever without a clamp.

Dismount the grip from the handlebar, open the screw of the clamp slightly and slide the clamp onto the left side of the handlebar.
Position the remote lever in such a way that the lever can be comfortably reached with the thumb and neither impairs its own function nor interferes with the function of other control elements.
Tighten the fixing screw with a Torx T25 key with a torque of max. 1.5 Nm.

→ If the remote lever is fitted on carbon handlebars, the maximum torque may be lower. Observe the handlebar manufacturer’s user manual!
