Hi All,

I had a little lie down and somehow my thumb lever on the shifter has moved.  When I use it it pushes against the other lever.  How do I adjust it back.  The is a little bolt underneath but not sure if that is used for this purpose.  I have add images to help withthe problem.

Thanks in advance

Paul

the end of your shifter lever is bent. Unfortunately that isn't available as a spare part so either bend it back without breaking t or replace the entre shifter. Perhaps check with your LBS if they have a shift lever from a broken unit

If you do try bend it back, heat the metal with a torch first. Some metals like aluminium will tend to break if bent back, if you heat it there will be a temperature at which it will turn soft and easy to bend allowing you to bend it back without it snapping.

rather use an electric heat gun and bend it slowly.
