shifter triple broken

paddie9

A spring fell out of my Ultegra triple shifter today. I don't suppose there's any hope someone supplies replacement springs.
Alternatively where's the best place to shop for a replacement shifter, their nearly the price of my bike. Think ill go with the Claris.

I've a pair of Sora levers for sale in the adverts section (if you're happy enough to downgrade)

for new replacement levers, www.merlincycles.com seem to have the best value at the moment.

I'll think about that, I'm in Kildare do you ever be down this way.

I'm based in Drogheda and work in Dublin. Wouldn't be in Kildare unless there is a race on - don't think there's anything coming up in the next few weeks. For the asking price i'd cover delivery. Anyway , if you're only looking for the LH shifter, you might be better looking for a second hand ultegra. If you're running 10 speed, the right hand Sora (9 speed) would be no use to you.

I'd say if you post a wanted ad in the adverts section, someone might be able to help you out.

Interesting, how would the front triple effect the 10 speed on the back. I have previously used a Sora in place of a Tiagra wth no effect.

Bring it to a good local bike shop, they will have the spare part you need to rebuild your current shifter. Get them to do the right shifter while you are at it.

sorry - probably didn't make myself clear. What I meant was that if you bought a pair of sora shifters, you'd be fine with the front (left) lever, but the rear would be of no use to you.

I'll give it one more go and then I might be back to later in the week.

Took a look at your picture and it look too different to my shifter. Going with the Claris looks more or less the same.
Thanks.
