SRAM Rival shifter sprocket

[Iliya]

It looks like I managed to break a few teeth on the right shifter sprocket. Does anyone know if these are replaceable or I need to replace the whole shifter? I heard SRAM shifters can be put apart but major sites don't sell spares; neither could I find anything on SRAM site.

The sprocket that needs replacing can be seen here

Unfortunately you can't service Sram. On the other hand, if you had Campag, you could service it all

Thanks David! The gear lever snapped today so it's not just sprocket anymore. Went to GB Cycles after club run and most likely switching to Campag from next week*. Thinking of Athena. What do you think of that groupset?

sounds like an expensive way to repair a shifter. i'd ask on the bigger cycling fora; if all else fails you should be able to get hold of the single shifter, perhaps from someone who's broken the other.

It would be more economical to switch to precision manufactured Japanese shifting technology (Shimano) rather than Hungarian tractor parts (Campag). Shimano and SRAM use the same sprocket spacing and freehub spline patterns, saving you an new rear wheel at least. Even if the SRAM and Shimano cable pulls are different, all you'd need is shifters (105 or Ultegra - DuraAce is a purely emotional/egotistical purchase), and mechs. For Campag, you'd need pretty much the full groupset.

I have Campag on my new Pinarello FP3 and so far am a massive fan, the whole groupset feels more precise/better engineered and it shifts very well! Takes some getting used to compared to the Ultegra on my training bike though.... just a matter of adapting
