Hi all,
I have a Ribble road bike from what I imagine would be the early 90s. Recently the right hand shifter has stopped working, it doesn’t change gears and doesn’t snap back after attempting to shift gears.
I’ve emailed a local bike shop who sadly hasn’t bothered to reply to me so spoke, via email, with a local guy that repairs bikes (local being in Norfolk). He said he hasn’t worked on this group set before and obviously hasn’t actually seen the bike either but he seems to believe the shifter has ‘worn out’. He seems to the think the only option is replacing the shifter for a working one. Does this sound likely to anyone else? Seeing as he hasn’t worked on this group set before do you think it’s worth looking elsewhere?
Any thoughts on what the issue may be and what the probable solution would be would be great!
Thanks guys
