Replacement chainring shifter
Hi all,
Help. My triple chainring grip-twist shifter on my bike, marked "SRAM Max Plus" (don't snigger at the back :-), has died (the ratchet has shuffled off this mortal coil). I'm guessing it's not fixable (?), so wonder what folks might suggest for a replacement. It has a 7-speed rear, if that makes any difference, but I'm only looking to replace the front one at the moment. I'm looking for something reasonably cheapish, and am happy to consider twist or thumb shifters. ta in advance, Richard. |

I think they've been there since 1996, and have never been used. Yours for a donation to one of the tsunami appeals plus postage. Drop me a mail on andrew g turnbull at hotmail dot com - remove spaces etc, don't use the address in my header here... Cheers, Andy www.stirling-tri.co.uk |

Prices start here around 8 euro's (Sram MRX, Shimano Tourney) -- --- Marten Gerritsen INFOapestaartjeM-GINEERINGpuntNL www.m-gineering.nl |

Re: Replacement chainring shifter
Get a new Gripshift - only a tenner. Make sure it has the cable already
in! -- Simon M. |
