Road bike gear shifter stuck. One of the biggest problems you ll encounter during a ride is a stuck shifter which could not only leave you in.

A bike with 30 or more gears is not an indication of a machine designed to break the land speed record any more than a bike with only a single gear assuming similar ratios.

The problem will be the shifters derailleurs or cables. Since the shifters get used so often and have so many components directly connected to them there are times when they have a tendency to go bad. Sometimes my left shifter freezes up and i cant shift from my big to small chain ring. Is it the derailleur cable or the shifter that is stuck.

I am often asked how to fix a bike that won t shift gears or will only shift to some gears. Unless you ride a fixie bike or have no need to get out of 2nd gear the odds are you re probably going to need your shifters at some point. 650c wheels mavic cxp14 deep section rims on ultegra hubs silver pair. And ive been seeing some problems.

I forgot to shift to a proper gear before removing the cable and as a result it is jammed in the shifter and impossible to remove by hand. I walk through the steps to isolate and locate.

Look inside the shifter jiggle the bike trying to see whether there are any loose parts in the shifter or random debris.

I compounded the issue by shifting while the cable was stuck and now it seems worse i cannot shift at all. This applies to both mountain bike trigger shifters as well as road bike sti type shifters. Any of these steps might fix the problem but in order this is what i d do. The missing cover isn t a problem in a nice clean shed but on the road the shifter will fill up with water and muck and stop working fairly soon.
