  1. I have a right side Shimano 105 8 speed lever that's messed
    up. While doing maintenance, the cable somehow got "jammed"
    in the shifter and won't come out. I removed the face bolt
    and the face and spring popped off. Is it worth my while to
    try and service it or is it toast? Thanks - Bill

    Try one of these fixes:

    lingforum.com/features/downloads/STIdisDetail.doc

    Bill Cotton's STI repair:

    If none of the above work, you're out of luck!

    These things rival spring loaded watches in their
    complexity. If you take too much apart, you will not get it
    back together-

    Campagnolo-with a rear der of the same manufacturer will
    eliminate this problem.
