Hello!
Recently my SRAM Apex right shifter decided to call it quits. I tore the shifter unit apart and discovered the ratcheting mechanism no longer engages with the shifter barrel. When I inspected the shifter mechanism, I noticed there was a lot of slop between the two components. Unfortunately, there's no way to fix it. Regardless, it's performed well for the time I have had it. I've had it for about 3 years with effortless shifting. However, during that time I did have a cycling accident in which the bike fell to the ground on the right side. Upon inspection, there was some superficial damage on the shifter and housing. But as time wore on, the shfiting became inconsistent and skipped sometimes. I'm pretty sure the accident damaged the alignment of the components inside the housing. Sigh.
Now, I'm looking for an alternative to the Apex shifters and found Shimano 105 5700 shifters.
Will these shifters work fine with the Apex grouping?
Thank you
