A control device mountable to a handlebar of a bicycle, the control device comprising:

• a housing having a base portion and an extension portion, the base portion of the housing having a front end, a rear end opposite the front end, a downward facing side, an upward facing side, an inward facing side, an outward facing side, and a handlebar clamp disposed at the rear end;
• a lever coupled to and pivotable relative to the housing;
• a master cylinder portion supported in the base portion of the housing, the master cylinder portion having a fluid cylinder, the fluid cylinder having a first end and a second end opposite the first end with a cylindrical wall therebetween, the fluid cylinder being hollow, such that an opening extends through the master cylinder portion, from the first end to the second end;
• and
• a piston assembly supported by the housing, the piston assembly being movable relative to the master cylinder portion, at least part of the piston assembly being disposed within the master cylinder portion,
• a first adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an angular position of the lever relative to the housing, such that when the control device is mounted to the handlebar of the bicycle, a distance between an end of the lever and the handlebar is also adjusted;
• and
• a second adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an initial position of the piston assembly relative to an opening through the cylindrical wall of the fluid cylinder.
