I have a bike with Shimano RSX levers. the number is ST-A410. It was my
brother in laws bike and he never got into cycling. I got it from him and
the LH shifter doesn't work. The inner lever couldn't engage and shift. I
opened it a bit and found there is a small spring loaded lever that had
become gummed up presumably through lack of use and the lubricant drying
out.
Is the RH lever prone to similar problems? What are other common problems
with these levers. I am reluctant to go touring with these if they have a
reputation for unreliable service. My old downtube levers have never let me
down on my other tourer.
I have noticed on EBAY other 7 speed triple levers numbered ST-A416 and
ST-A417. How do these differ from the ST-A410?
If I want to go back to my Retro comfort zone with down tube levers, what
should I look for?
Thanks in advance for any help.
