I've found the culprit to the Ritchey's shifting woes! Spent some time looking & comparing with the shifters on the Donohue (also R8000, but rim brake) & noticed something different.
Just above the inner paddle there's a little plastic catch thing which pushes one of the levers in when pushing the outer & the inner to shift up. They're easily removable & after taking them out, it seems that the front one had snapped.
All well & good figuring that out but now how do I get a replacement? You can buy whole new shifter arms but that's like £60 when I only need a small plastic bit. Maybe I'll just have to swap it from the road bike to the CX one when I go on rides. Anyone got access to Shimano spares catalogue? Or maybe a 3D printer if I can figure out how to model it.Oh, SJS, you beauty!
