Replacing 10 speed shifter - road bike
Postby martin56 » Sun Apr 17, 2016 5:07 pm
I recently broke my right shifter Shimano Ultegra (dual control lever, 10 speeds) and I’d like to replace it for less than 50-60$. Any type of shifter is ok as long as I don’t have to move my hand.
I was wondering if I could use any 10 speed shifter I can find, like for a mountain bike?
like http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MTB-Bicycle- ... ZpwJYYB1Qg
Is there something else I should be aware of? (distance between each gear in the derailleur vs distance in the shifter etc.).
Thanks
Martin

Cable pull ratio is also quite different.RonK wrote:No - you will have to replace it with a road shifter. An MTB shifter will literally not fit on a road handlebar - the clamp will be too small.

So is basically the 4700 Tiagra the odd one out of all 10sp shifters?Duck! wrote:The current 4700 model Tiagra is NOT compatible becuase Shimano changed the leverage ratio (the amount of cable required to pull the derailleur the desired distance), but any other Shimano road 10-sp. shifter is fine.

By the way, I re-used the old gear and brake cables. If they are a bit worn out as in my case, it can be an absolute drag to slide back in the outer. I'd definitely recommend buying new cables if they don't come with the shifters.
