Great effort! Doing 400+ watts on the wheel for 10 mins+ ... far out!

Mine broke, and I didn't even think about bending what's left of it back into shape. Nice one! Unfortunately too much was broken off my spiral spring to fix it. I tried, but it had way too much tension. So close. If I get really bored, maybe I'll look at making a new one by hand? 0.6mm s/s square wire.

Bless your heart for making this video. I'll go right out and fix mine now.

You were not there first, don't be a dick about it and stop giving cyclists a bad reputation you have no right to act out at this person, then you overtake them from their left side in front of their car, really stupid move, incredibly stupid.

Is there a way to do it without taking the whole thing apart. I took the bottom half off

Thanks, the warnie is on my bucket list to do as a masters one day

Hi, any idea if i could fit a Ultegra 6800 lever into a 105 5800 shifter? Thanks

whats the proper tools for this i have the same problem

My spiral return spring actually broke. If you were to stretch out the broken piece, it's about 2cm long. I'm considering simply bending over the remaining spring end. I tested bending the broken piece. It seems a bit brittle. The corner of the bend seems like it slightly splintered, but didn't break. I guess the only way to know is to try. Anyone know where to get a new spring? I've been looking for a 'used-for parts' shifter for that spring, but that spring will probably be bad, or on it's way out, too. In addition, the internals seem a little loose, or jiggly. Not sure if that's normal. However, it was shifting fine before the spring broke. Any guidance is much appreciated.

My shifter started to miss shifts when going to a smaller gear. By checking it visually I could see that some slop had developed in the shifting mechanism (right hand brake lever assy.). I was able to purchase the R.H. Bracket (Shimano # Y00E98060) which includes a new shifting mechanism. Your video was extremely helpful when I had to swap over the new parts; especially regarding the removal of the circlip holding the shift lever assembly pivot shaft. What a pain in the butt...but your video helped me stay the course. Thank you.

Hi. Got simillar issue with tiagra 4700 right shiftet. Im not sure od they build the same way but its looks like It is. I have replaced the shifter once after around 1.5k km but its coming back. the small shiftee lever is not coming back to its main position and its sticking out a bit off the big lever. Pissing me off. But the shifter works well do far.. thanks for tutorial. I will look at the 4700 shifter od they the same kind.

I walk my greyhound on a Heritage trail and I’m profoundly deaf and never hear bikes speeding along behind me and trying to get past me.

thank you for making this, was having this exact problem.

Is this also the same problem for 7900?

Hi delbified, same problem, nice vide, where can i found that spring?

che emozione questo sport

I can see three *seemingly* separate methods of mending Ultegra shift mechanisms 1) WD40 or other lubricant cleaner, or parts cleaner followed by the same 2) Loosenign a fixing allen key in 6700 or screw 6600, and this 3) Improving the spring tension. I guess that in a sense they are all addressing the same issue. While the grease is new and the spring strong, the ratchet mechanism will turn to allow the ratchet to unwind. As the grease gets old and sticky, it needs to be washed out 6 re-lubricated, the mechanism loosened or the spring strengthened. I have a fifteen year old set of Ultegra 6600 that had hardly ever been used, and they were not downshifting. The nearly new spring is presumably okay but the congealed grease is presumably preventing downshifting. Making the mechanism looser helped (it downshifts about five times) but perhaps I need a stronger spring.

Hi mate, I have a ST-6800 RH shifter with snapped housing. Do you know if it’s possible to switch the mechanism with the 6700 RH shifter?

Hellor sir!Is Ultegra 6800 disc actuated?i use a java siluro 2 that is a disc brake version

What is the purpose of that electrical flat wire in there?

Holy wow - what a ride. Incredible cycling Julian.

Love it. Turn the parts up to 11!

I have issue with left hand one, have tried the left hand ? thanks

Looking for a video to help me repair a stuck LHS 6800 shifter and here you are! Thanks Delbified, hopefully this helps me out.

I have a bike from 2010 with Ultegra 6700 and when I got it, it did not have many miles on it. Unfortunately, It never shifted/shifts well. Often, I have to give it another half shift to nudge the chain to the next gear. I am wondering if that might be because of the spring in the derailleur, that after so long, it no longer has much tension? Could getting a new spring or engaging the spring into the second plate hole fix this shifting problem or it is something else?

Literally searched high and low for a solution to this problem. Thank you so much. Can't even buy a new shifter for love nor money these days, too. Absolute legend.

Far too common.

Excellent guide! I have this model of shifter that I was hoping to repair. Thank you!

Thanks, I managed to jam my gear cable cause I was installing them late at night and didn't line them up properly. Tried various methods to get it out but pulling the shifter apart was the only way. I managed to do it with minimal tools and a lot of swearing :-)

hey mate have you done any disassembly on the inner mechanism, I took a part mine and i cant find the way to put it back again, thanks a lot, nice video very helfull

Try this, next time: You: "Do you know how much damage my bike would suffer if I ran over your dog?" Her: "Err..." You: "Absolutely none."

I'm wondering if the camera angle makes it look not as bad, as it looked like there was still plenty of room. Not saying there was, just that that's how it looks based on the footage. I know drivers can be pretty inconsiderate when it comes to cyclists.

Could have been totally avoided if you hadn't been riding in the middle of the road. You're not very smart, are you?

Now you know how motorists feel, genius

Fuckin Heccas

I could fit a jumbo jet though that space

The camera was on a tilt lolllllz 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 Buy a gopro tight asssssss

Take some more vids of St. Andrews

Aushiker, he could also send a thankyou email to the council for actively maintaining the bike path he uses perhaps?

You can see the truck from a mile away, you can tell its a potential hazard. At what point do slow down for your own saftey? Clowns like you are what give us cyclists a bad name

I've hit dogs, and I've hit leashes, and neither is pleasant. Nowadays if I see a dog that's going to dive in front of me, I aim for the owner. It'll hurt more, but I don't think they'll ever do it again. FWIW, my dog has been hit by a cyclist that wasn't paying attention; regardless of circumstances, it was my fault for not controlling the dog, and I paid the price by having a "shellshocked" dog around bikes.

Video must've been edited, don't you know that it's only cyclists that go through red lights!

i slapped his boot and had a bit of a wobble as a result! everything OK. he was trying to get around LH turners to line up in front of them for RH hook turn (this may only make sense if you know melbourne hook turns) and i suspect thought "i just cut cyclist off, what's he going to do about it?" i let him know that wasn't appreciated..

if the road was even narrower, would he have 'safely hit me'? narrowness of road is not an excuse. was far too close.

with respect. that's obviously true but isn't clear to me how it is relevant to this video, other than to vaguely imply it was me, rather than the dog owner who was being irresponsible.

With respect. Bike riders don't have the whole road to themselves
