broken shifter housing

gallagc8

Took a fairly bad spill on my new bike last night in the rain. the housing on one of the shifter/brake levers snapped when i hit the conrete. Can anyone recommend a decent repair shop in Dublin? also should i order the new shifter online or should i let the shop take care of it? I'd probably have to buy a set even though I only need one right? it's a campagnolo veloce groupset. Any one have any idea what the repair cost would be, I've spent all my money on the damn bike in first place! Thanks for you help.

Nasty. New set of shifters ain't gonna be cheap Bout 170 euro for the set. Ring around for prices. Not a lot of people stock campy.

Chain reaction have them you could buy em there and get a shop to fit them.

Fortunately for you, Campagnolo shifters, unlike Shimano ones, are rebuildable and you can buy spare parts, so take it into a shop and they might be able to get new part in without having to repace them entirely. There's a spare parts catalogue on their website too, which is handy for getting part numbers. A few online retailers will also sell spare parts.

nice one, thanks for the advice. the cycle surgery in dundrum are sorting it out for me. going to take two weeks for the part to arrive though.
