    Wanted Left hand front thumb shifter friction

    As it says, easier than triggers for my arthritic thumb and index fingers! Ideally XT. Good or better nick. Good price paid - or swop for 2 pairs (and 1 odd) Shmano bar end shifters. Don't really want a complete 3 x 7 set but if that's all that's out there I'll reach deeper into my pockets...

    XT M785 Brake Levers

    Thanks all for your help. And to Ian for checking the stock room! I like the bike, it cost me little and I am "busy" with hospitals and stuff (recurrent C) so I shall take the easy way out and buy new and take it all to nearby Ridewise charity mechanic. My time is under more pressure than my...

    XT M785 Brake Levers

    ^ thank you, brocklander. Happily go new if necessary, my only concern is how to keep the shifters and I don't yet understand how my current ones combine with brake levers! Guess have to keep "learning", a painful and time consuming process at my age! I should not have strayed into this...

    XT M785 Brake Levers

    ^@ ishaw, sorry crossed posts! That full lever would be worth a punt, but it's a RH front and I need a left! The reservoir cap/separator unit from LX is not compatible with the xt m785 as far as I can find.

    XT M785 Brake Levers

    Anyone know if this would be OK as a complete replacement? Shimano Deore BL-M4100 Deore, complete brake lever, I-spec EV ready, left hand The SLX front shifter is attached to the brake clamp - so am I right in thinking that this is what I-spec means? Sorry for my ignorance, knew I should...

    XT M785 Brake Levers

    Don't know exact fail point, but presumably the ridged plastic part. My man said he didn't want to disturb it cos likely render it unusable. Reckoned trying to use a sealant could interact badly with the brake fluid. Braking power fine as is.....for now. I'll recheck but I think the Shiman tech...

    Recently bought a 2012 BMC TF01 full carbon full bouncer. My arthritic fingers and hands love it! Fitted new pads to rear ok but never having played with hydraulics, took it to local bike charity shop man for front cos pistons not fully retracting. Sorted that but in bleeding rear apparent that...

    The ugliest Marin alive

    Looks like owner was told "this is the biggest one you can get..." and then had to do what he could with little knowledge. In nice nick, but well over-priced.
