After recalling its entire line of road hydraulic brakes, SRAM has offered to get consumers mechanical replacements until a hydraulic solution is in place.

SRAM's website spells out the details for riders in Asia, Europe and North America.

The mechanical replacement will be provided through SRAM dealers globally, who, SRAM says, will be compensated for their time and labor.

SRAM anticipates the replacement mechanical systems being available by January 15, at which time another information update will be released.

The ultimate plan is to get customers back on hydraulic brakes — in a next-generation form — when they are ready.
