Hello,

My partner has a Trek 1.5 Alpha road bike with Tiagra Triple sti levers. The levers are uncomfortably far away for her to reach them which takes is toll over long rides.

I have checked Petra Cycles and they sell the relevant shims. However, how do I identitify the specific sti lever on the Trek 1.5 2011 model so I can buy the correct shim? I have checked everywhere but can't find it and there are couple to choose from on the Petra website.

Any ideas/suggestions would be great!

Thanks
Josh

    have a look under the hoods, you may find the number there

    otherwise...

    http://techdocs.shimano.com

    select road->tiagra

    then look at the various shifters to identify exactly which ones you have - the ev files are the ones, they show the exploded view of the shifters
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    Great thanks. I had already looked there but obviously didn't persevere with the shimano site. Thanks again Josh
