Well I’ve figured out why I’ve been getting ghost shifting on my roadie, and that’s because there’s not enough meat left on the internal ratchet in the shifter (2004 Record) to hold against the mech bouncing around on rough tarmac.

Now I’ve found a few places that will service the levers for me, but I wanted to have a crack at it myself, and am struggling to find anywhere online in the UK to buy the parts.

Anybody got any good sources?

Ta!

I think I got spares for my Dad’s Ergos from Mercian?

Cheers (as ever)!

Got one in my hand – probably a good idea to replace the springs at the same time – £ 34.00 for the ratchet – £ 45.00 for both.

Chris – perfect! Be over shortly!

just a thought, I bought “Brand New” Veloce 10 speed levers for £50 off eBay just before Christmas.

What not replace the whole levers.

search YouTube for how to videos. It’s fiddly but perfectly possible.
