    Just took off my brand new sram gripshift and it fell apart in my hands, Sping pinged away never to be seen again. Any idea where I can buy a new one?

    You’ll need to get Fishers to get one for you. Speak to your LBS. Also, good luck, they are notoriously bad at SRAM stock and spares.

    I changed handlebars on my Fatboy and had the spring escape from Gripshifters. Never had Gripsift before so a real PIA to get it back together; I needed a good search on Youtube to get the technique.

    If you’ve lost the spring it will be so much easier to get a new shifter..

    The spring must be somewhere. A strong magnet on a piece of string might help.

    i tried changing the cable on my SRam trigger shift x9, tackled it from the wrong side, undid the cover screw…springs under tension, wouldnt go back together, good excuse to change to shimano 1×10, easy …. this doesnt help does it…

    found the bit online..13 quid from ze germans..obviously that includes alot of other bits I don’t need in adition to the spring…

    And its impossible to put together you say???

    on a plus side its cheaper than a 70 quid new shifter

    FYI, two bikes running Gripshift – wouldn’t go back to triggers. And no, you can’t have the broken set for spares.

    Grip shift are the most simple shifters in existence. Look at the SRAM site for a diagram.

    If you are replacing a spring on an 11 speed grip shift you need to put one end of the spring in one half of the shifter and the other end in the other half and push the two halves together without twisting . There is a reason why I know this 😀
