Adding pair r8020 shimano hydro shifters ( 1x11 only ! ) :
The shifting mechanism is faulty on the left hand shifter. There is some looseness in the shifting unit (no rattling) resulting in the lever not catching the shifting paddles properly. The hydraulic system works fine. This might be fixeable by a knowledgeable mechanic with shimano tooling, dunno.
Right hand/ rear shifting shifter works as it should.
the hoods are pretty loose now so need replacement.
priced accordingly : 100£
If you are building a budget 1x11 shimano gravel bike this might be the ticket. I repeat, no issues with hydraulic braking and rear shifting.
Pictures to come to illustrate condition ( not much wear and tear on levers) and the shifting issue.
