Hi there

I decided a while back to upgrade from sram 10 to 11 speed. I brought a new 11 speed rear and front derailleur, and also new chainrings. However, I am in doubt now about whether I need to buy 2 new 11 speed brake lever/shifters, or can I keep the 10 speed front shifter and only replace the rear brake lever/shifter?

Hope someone out here can help.
Please let me know your thoughts.

The ONLY thing you needed to rplace was the rear shifter. Everything else would have worked perfectly.

The part is not findable, so yes buy a whole new shifter. If hydro, the rim caliper shifters can be found cheaper.
