gear shifts and new brakes

kenyanscott

Hi Everyone,

im considering upgrading my brakes to Hydraulic instead of the current mech disc brakes I have.

No Issues there.

I currently have an integrated Brake and shifter set up

what so I need to do to change that?

im a bit confused by the upgrade (probably with no reason to be)

You'll need new shifters.

And brakes obviously.

Yeah, you'll just need to replace the existing integrated levers with separate gear shifters of the same "speed" as your existing ones (7-,8- or 9-speed). You'll also need to match manufacturers between your rear derailleur and shifters, so if you've got a Shimano, 8-speed rear mech, you'll need Shimano 8-speed shifters, etc....
