Hi,
I have just broken my left shifter. not the bar end shifter but the shifters on the handlebars.
They are a set of 105 Shimanos. Does anybody know if they are repairable, or is it a case hope a new single left one appears on Ebay.
The shofter doesn't connect as though the cable has come off or snapped inside the shifter.

In the meantime, if you're stuck on the big ring, what's the matter? Just push harder!
How old is the bike? the left shifter on 105 is dodgy and shimano know it. I done a bit of trawling on the internet and it seems that there are a few folks with this issue, me included as mine broke with the same prob as you on Sat afternoon.
I suggest you go back to the bike shop you got it from to get their advice mate.
luckily I got stuck on the smaller chain ring so at least I can still ride the bike until I get it fixed.
I did try opening it, but I guess I should take it off the handlebars as it is a bit of pain whilst attached.
I reckon the idea about taking it to the shop is best. As I almost sliced my finger off.
Thanks again.
