Hi, this is my first post so any response would be much appreciated. Just bought my second road bike as I have really been enjoying myself! I went for a cube gtc pro as value for money I thought it was a really good buy! Unfortunately on its debut ride I came off, bikes generally fine just me thats hurt! But I did smash the ultegra shifter, I think it still works but it just looks a mess can you replace all the casing? Also I've scratched the front wheel can they be refurbished? Just don't want to fork out for new shifters as there a fair whack!!! Cheers and advice welcome,

    Hopefully your crash wasn't too painful. Apart from buying new rubber hoods or the shiny metal caps, there's not much replaceable on an Ultegra shifter. Likewise, apart from replacing the rim, there's little you can do about the wheel either apart from a clean and polish. Try posting a photo of the damage?
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Cheers for reply! Not too painful, im hoping the shifter is just cosmetic damage that can be replaced, my bikes at the bike shop at the mo so can't send any pics!
