You should've asked on here first ;) #hippyisalwaysright
I guess you want to ride that bike. If time wasn't an issue but money was, I'd set up a saved searched on ebay for the model shifter you need and wait (while also looking for retailer deals).
I think my shifters are out of reach in storage, otherwise you could have them, even if to only tide you over until you found a cheap pair of GRX or Ultegras.
I'll have a full SRAM groupset off a Crux for sellz soon, but I guess that's a bit overkill for one dead shifter!

Probably. Maybe it wasn't always this way, I can't remember. Certainly wasn't an issue until the first time it needed bleeding which happened to be when I was touring through rural Wales with no bike shop in sight. Anyway. No bike shop I've ever taken it to (and it's been to a fuckload) ever suggested it may have been a warranty claim - which in hindsight I guess is a bit annoying (especially given I was given a new di2 battery under warranty in 2021). Anyway. Looks like I'll be spending £200+ on a flipping new shifter :'/
