|   Possible to replace rubber part of SRAM shifters? | SPLIT769
Feb 16, 2002 10:10 PM | | Can I order a new set of the rubber part of the shifters on my SRAM gripshift? If they were half-pipes, can I put on shortys? |

That said, I have seen shorty upgrade kits to upgrade to halfpipe covers on ebay, so perhaps you can do the opposite. |

Feb 17, 2002 6:40 AM | | You can order replacement covers from your LBS. As for length, you have to get the corresponding size. The "tube" attached to the spool is what determines a half-pipe to a shorty. Cutting the cover to a shorty length will only expose the shifting tube on the half-pipe. |

Feb 17, 2002 9:08 AM | | ...be aware that if they are newer model Srams with the SRS feature, there's a slot & tab type function at the end of the halfpipe that keeps the assembly together. You'd have find a way to lock everything in place, such as an ODI grip collar.
Non-SRS halfpipes can be cut without this problem.
