It seems the shifter boss on my Grubb has come apart (the barrel spins). I need the old-style with the triangle pointing above and below. Thanks.

Pop up a pic of the one you have as I've a few NOS ones in a bag that came with some late 70s early 80s Shimano friction shifters

Thanks, Mr. Bump. Before I read your reply, I found a shift boss. An N.O.S. Huret, not exactly the same, but very close. Thanks for trying to help. I had forgotten that I had posted about the boss, here.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
