Ultegra 6700 Triple...

It has been playing up the last few months and didnt like shifting up into the big crank from the middle but shifting up from the smallest crank to the middle was fine. Shifting down was no problem either.

I was riding the other day and was switching the big crank a few times with little or no trouble. Until i started talking to another cyclist and started following him went to get into the middle cog and it wouldnt gear down. The shifter was stiff and was like it was locked until i took the gaer cable off the front derailer. reconnected it and it still wont shift.

    Me too - unfortunately half way round the etape caledonia.... Bike currently at LBS awaiting word on warranty. If not needs new levers, only sold in pairs ye know!! £400 later. I have found a left shifter at bike discount.com for £150 + del if the warranty doesn't pay oot.

    You might strike lucky here http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=4059 worth a phone call to see if stock is on order? (forgive me if I have found the wrong item)

    I had a problem with right Ultegra shifter not shifting down, sprayed loads of GT 85 at it and few minutes later all was well. Long shot I know but worth a try ?
