STI shifter problem
Just want to verify the common wisdom:
If the WD-40 treatment doesn't fix shifter problems, replace the shifter? Left Ultegra ST-6501 front lever moves when rear lever is pushed, preventing downshift. Appears the spring for the front lever has weakened. When front lever is held stationary, rear lever works as expected. Thanks. Doug B. |

Can't imagine initiating a ride with that solution. Doug B. |

Common failure mode of 9s STI, both ultegra and DA...replace..may want to look at Campag, and no more busted, throw away lever problems. |

What would one need to do to use Campagnolo shifters in the place of Ultegra 9s STI? Is there a web site that tells all the compatabilities/incompatabilities between the two groups? I know alot of parts are interchangable from what I've read in here-I just can't keep it all straight. My Ultegra 9s are starting to feel loose and have many more rattles in the last couple thousand miles than previous. It'd be great to replace 'em when they finally give out with something repairable without dropping green on a whole new groupset. jj1075 |

This is what I'll end up doing. I have access to both in Centaur. jj1075 |
