I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere, but I am unsure how to properly describe the problem.
I have a Scott Speedster S30 with Shimano 105 shifters. At least that is what I think I have, the bike was a gift and my use of the bike can best be described as comical.
The front shifter will no longer shift. It feels like something is broke or no longer catching to move the cable. The brake still works just fine. When I use the squeeze the brake and look at the inner workings, I can see the good side moving when I hit the triggers. The other side will not move at all. I can move the cable by hand to the front dérailleur, so it isn't stuck.
My questions are, is this a common occurrence? If so what is the fix? something I can do myself or best take it too a bike shop?
Thanks in advance, I have included photos of the good (bottom picture) and the bad (upper picture) shifters.
thanks,
dan
