PietSw Posted July 28, 2016 Share a Buddy of mine started cycling 2 or so months ago.. He bought a 2nd hand bike off the hub for R3k as he is "REALLY" tight on budget. and for the most part cycling is a cheap day to day sport. Until something breaks of course.. Does anyone know where we can get a second hand or refurbished Shimano 8 speed right hand shifter. He said he heard some rattles while riding and then it won't shift. Took it in to an expert who said some parts are missing and it cannot be repaired. So as I said, he cannot afford to buy a R4500 groupset if his bike only cost R3k. i know we are cheap skates but all the guy wants to do is ride his bike.. He has actually shown real good progress. Going from a 15km/h average over a 20km ride to 25km/h average over a 70km ride(with a broken shifter by the way) If anyone has an old Groupset or shifter they are willing to let go for cheapish. Please contact me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PietSw Posted July 28, 2016 Share Hi Guys Thanx for the replies so far.. It's a Road Bike.. Its these ones and say Flight Deck on the top. Will most 8 speed STI's be compatible with the 8 speed Shimano deraileur? Edited July 28, 2016 by PietSw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted July 28, 2016 Share Are you sure that is 8speed? Looks like a 9 speed, but could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin PJ Posted July 29, 2016 Share Hi Guys Thanx for the replies so far.. It's a Road Bike.. Its these ones and say Flight Deck on the top. Will most 8 speed STI's be compatible with the 8 speed Shimano derailleur? Shimano and Microshift are compatible, SRAM and Campagnolo are not. So basically they are not, unless its is Shimano / Microshift 8 Speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PietSw Posted August 1, 2016 Share Okay so we actually count the casette and it is in fact a 9 speed right hand shifter we need... So does anyone have a 9 speed shifter :-) please Edited August 1, 2016 by PietSw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
