Will take a wander over sometime and see what they have. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13454#post-165993 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 11:13:18 +0000 I were right about that saddle 165993@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@urchaidh</p> <p>tHERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF (SORRY WAS TYPING SQL) front shifters in the parts bins at the Bike Station. They're so nice they'll probably rake through them if you phone.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13454#post-165975 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 09:24:22 +0000 amir 165975@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't know whether a Claris Double 8 speed might work. This is much cheaper - you'd buy the pair but just use the front. I am not sure whether it's compatible though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13454#post-165972 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 09:19:54 +0000 urchaidh 165972@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I need a replacement front shifter, a Shimano Sora 3500 double for flat bars that I managed to break. I think <a href="http://www.evanscycles.com/products/shimano/sora-3500-2013-9-speed-flat-bar-road-shifters-double-ec043502">this is what I need</a>.</p> <p>Anyone got one lying around? Failing that, I'm annoyed by the idea of having to buy a pair. Anyone got any ideas on sourcing just the front shifter.</p> <p>Lastly, for the front (two speed) a simple thumb shifter would be just fine and, I thought, a lot cheaper, except nobody seems to make them any more. Any suggestions?</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
