[Closed] XO shifter problem

[#1000082]

Can anyone offer any suggestions this: my XO rear shifter would push up the first 5 or so gears, then for the remaining 4 would seem to slip and just push round. I dismantled it and reckon the tooth was failing to engage with one of the mechanisms. While reassembling it I managed to be a bit ham fisted and overtightened the bolt connecting the two mechanisms together. So... what is the availability of spare parts and is it worth just buying a new one? The shifter is 2 years old + so no comeback on warranty.

Any suggestions appreciated,
Gareth

get an x9 one and bastardise it?Internals are identical but different materials IIRC. If you choose to do this I would be interested in contributing as I somehow lost my X9 top cap on a ride - or I will give buy yours as is?
sorry check out fishers for spares
