Brake/gear lever
My 9yr old son has a kids racing bike which we bought from the UK
we got it during Covid and we had a lot of problems getting parts for it due to supply problems so ended up borrowing and fixing whatever we could to get it working
its has a single front chainring 36T. It's 11 speed with a dura ace cassette.
it's has mechanical disk brakes
we had to get the Sram rival brake/ gear lever for the rear derailleur which is also a Dura ace 11 speed donated by good friends. The problem is the Sram brake/gear lever on the right side keeps sticking and I want to get it replaced
I need to get an adjustable reach lever as he obviously has small hands I know Shimano levers are adjustable but I'm not sure which one to get and of course it has to work with mechanical brakes and 11 speed
Any ideas??
thanks

I would expect any of Shaimno’s 11s upper level (105, Ultegra, Dura-Ace) rim brake levers to do the job for you, considering that you currently have DA cassette and derailleur.
