Cable Spool

In combination with a Ratio 12 speed ratchet, the Ratio aluminium cable spool allows you to upgrade SRAM 10 speed road shifters to 12 speed. Additionally, the spool can be used as a replacement part to repair damaged or broken SRAM 11 speed road shifters.

• Don’t scrap your 10 speed shifters – upgrade them to 12 speed with a Ratio aluminium spool
• With a spool fitted, 10 speed shifters are also compatible with SRAM 11 speed ratchets
• Replace a damaged 11 speed cable spool, repairing your broken 11 speed Red*, Force*, Rival* or Apex* shifter

Our cable spools are machined by us in the Lake District, UK.

Note: If you fit the Ratio aluminium cable spool to 10 speed shifters, you will be able to fit 11 or 12 speed ratchets. To re-fit the original 10 speed ratchet just replace the original cable spool.

In your kit you will find:

1. Ratio aluminium cable spool
2. M2.5 screw for shifter disassembly

To use the spool you will need:

1. SRAM 10 or 11 speed road shifters from the Red*, Force*, Rival*, Apex* or S Series* groups.

To fit your spool to SRAM shifters for hydraulic brakes, see the following video. When you remove the red-coloured SRAM spool, replace it with your new blue-coloured Ratio spool**:

 

To fit your spool to SRAM shifters for cable brakes, see the following video. When you remove the red-coloured (11 speed) or white-coloured (10 speed) SRAM spool, replace it with your new blue-coloured Ratio spool. Note that an 11 speed shifter is shown, but the process is very similar for 10 speed models**.

NOTE: On some older shifters, the reach adjuster will not spin freely when it bottoms out. Stop turning the reach adjuster screw as soon as you encounter resistance.

 

Please note that the cable spool is not required for newer models of 10 speed shifters; some of these shifters are already 11 speed compatible. For more information on compatibility and how to identify your shifter, check our guide.
