So I have taken the plunge to do a race this Saturday, and now my right hand shifter doesn't work (great!).

Does anyone have a spare Right hand Shimano 9 speed shifter they don't need? Ideally I want something cheap as I don't want to destroy anything too precious in case it all goes horribly wrong.

Any help greatly appreciated - happy to collect from central/SW London or anywhere, frankly!

Thanks

    Probably be less effort to borrow a bike and set it for yourself for the day. I can guarantee you won't get the indexing right in time (as you are up against a deadline)

    I assure you I can index gears in 3 days. Just need a shifter!

    Tried SS today in Regents Park....doesn't really work exiting a fast downhill into a sharp corner into an uphill.

    How bizarre - took one of my old Allez at the weekend. You can pay me in beer.
