    In Ireland and Britain, right is on the right but in the USA and other parts of the world, right is often on the left.

    Anything I've ordered from Europe is stage left and stage right (i.e. the right-hand shifter is the one on your right as you're sitting on the bike).

    They switch brakes in other parts of the world, where they drive on the other side of the road, but right remains right and left remains left everywhere;)

    I ordered from Chain Reaction so I'm guessing their left is the same as our left!

    The item.....

    I does, and you should have received the one on the left when looking at the picture on the CRC site

    Thats a relief!

    Yes I should have got the one on the left (in the picture), but I didn't.

    This follows a 4 week run around with Rose over the same parts.

    To say I was p***ed off when I opened the box today was an understatement. CRC website saying both left and right are sold out now, so looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer :mad:
