Technical Help re Shifters Replacement

[Mknovell]

Hi. I need your technical advice. For the second time in 6 months, I have snapped off the rear derailleur shifter on my bike. It is SRAM Apex and I was thinking of replacing it with Shimano 105 or Ultegra. Your advice would be welcome. The rest of the groupset is also SRAM. Thanks, Murray

The internets suggest that Shimano shifters will not work with SRAM mechs - different cable pull. Since the indexing is actually done in the shifter, that's the bit that matters. Which is why shifters cost so much.

Replace it all with Dura Ace Di2. Karen will understand.

Campag?

My first port of call would be a return to SRAM with a letter about how p'd off I was with the standard of their equipment. Then I wouldn't use it again...unless they provided a free replacement.

Keep an eye out on eBay for NOS kit heavily reduced.
