If it's a new xtr shifter then take it to yr lbs n if it's faulty it has a warranty... 

[turtlek]

check that your derailer is not bent or your dropuot is not bent and then lube cables and check on ferrules if the cable has put undue pressure on them if they have then replace cables and ferrules and trim ends of housing

Its the new shifter but bought it end 2006...

[XTC OKE]

The shifter is slipping...only get 5 gear changes from the 9...

[turtlek]

its your cable tension bud check pm

Check if it shifts without a cable connected to a derailer.  If it still doesn't shift something may be broken inside the shifter.  In which case it may be a warranty or expensive failure depending on what shimano say...

 

Otherwise cables is the first place to start looking at if you have shifting problems.

I released the cable rom the derailleur but still only get 5 shifts from the 9 shifts! something must be slipping inside!

[turtlek]

pull the cable and then shift and then check pm

[XTC OKE]

[XTC OKE]

Thanks I hope cool heat can do it fast...

[turtlek]

in the eastern cape then you can expect a delivery maybe on monday if you lucky but see if your lbs can help you out with a shifter for the race

[grosjoster]

i think once you open it the warranty expires, or that's how it usually is

[XTC OKE]

I dont hope so i'll even pay to get it fixed

those 06/07 shifters had problems.  its a standard warranty.

remember epic last year shimano ran out of spare shifters and we were left repairing the broken ones for the remainder of the epic...

 

jst one of those new release glitches.
