I'm using Shim. 105 the type that brings the gear change cable out of the side of the hood, yesterday the left (front mech. compact) went awol. sometimes it would/ wouldn't change, although attempting to click. I'm aware that these do have "history", any info greatly appreciated about spares -best method of attack etc. At approx £120 each it's not a road I choose to ride down, I've looked on flea bay & it may prove to be an option. Many thanks.

    If it's become a bit hit and miss, it's more likely that the cable is fraying inside the shifter. Detach it at the mech end and pull the brake lever; you should then be able to push the cable out and inspect it.

    If the thing has failed completely, you might be able to get it replaced under warranty.

    A friends 105 left shifter went, he sent it to Madison (the importer) they gave him the complete runaround, in the end he bought a cheapo replacement through ebay, depends how long you're prepared to wait...............
