This happened to my Rival setup about 3 months ago. SRAM sent out a new pair of shifters as a warranty repair. If yours is out of warranty they may still cover it as a warranty repair because the older shifters apparently were replaced by some newer ones that are supposed to soft this problem. I don't know what they changed but I know that's what I heard...

I'm trying to get a feel for longevity....of Rival, or Force or RED shifters. Maybe it's time to upgrade?
Anyone know if you can completely rebuild Rival shifters?
Anyone have a right side Rival shift/brake lever they don't need?
Thanks
