The SRAM Indexblattfeder is a small but essential spare part designed to keep your SRAM indexed shifters performing with their characteristic precision. In German, “Indexblattfeder” refers to the indexing leaf spring, a component that helps create the crisp, defined clicks you feel when changing gears. Over time and heavy use, this spring can wear or lose tension, leading to vague shifting or inconsistent gear engagement. Replacing it with a genuine SRAM part restores the positive, reliable indexing that riders expect from their trigger shifters.
This component is ideal for riders who want to extend the life of their existing SRAM drivetrain rather than replacing an entire shifter. Whether you ride mountain, trekking, or urban bikes equipped with SRAM trigger shifters, a fresh index spring can significantly improve shift feel and accuracy. It is particularly useful for riders who service their own bikes and appreciate the value of original spare parts. By maintaining the internal mechanism with the correct spring, you help ensure smooth, repeatable shifts, better chain alignment, and a more enjoyable ride every time you head out.
