What tasks to address

Before the visit, it is better to send a photo of shifters, a bicycle model, a description of the symptom and a short video of the handle operation.

Diagnosis

When the handle does not click, does not reset the gear, jams after a fall or began to work noticeably tighter.

Dismantling and cleaning

Old grease, dirt and oxidation inside the mechanism is often easier to remove by spot disassembly than to spray it outside.

Service restoration

Checking the ratchet mechanism, return elements, cable, housings, and handle fit before final derailleur adjustment.

After a fall

Inspection of the body, lever, fasteners and internal elements if the dual has been hit or has started to work unstably.

Before the race

Checking the clarity of switching, backlashes, the condition of the cable and possible failures before the start, when there is no time for experiments.

Consultation

If repair is not feasible, the technician will advise what to check for compatibility and replacement of the shifter or road dual.

FAQ

What to write to the technician?

The model of shifters, the brand of transmission, how many speeds, what exactly does not work, photos from both sides and video clicks under the load of the hand.

Can it be repaired after a fall?

It depends on the body, the lever and the internal mechanism. First you need a photo diagnosis or face-to-face.

The workshop is listed as St. Petersburg, V.O. It is better to specify the possibility of sending from another city directly in Telegram.
