Repairing a twist shifter grip
Jul 15th, 2012, 10:07pm
 
The grip on the right shifter on my Fusion has gone gooey on me Smiley It's coming off on my gloves and fingers and making a mess everywhere. Is there a known fix for this? The bike is only 4 years old, how long are these things supposed to last? This is the shifter that gets used dozens of times a ride, unlike the one that mostly just goes along for the ride and seldom gets used. that one is still in great shape.

Mine will need replacement soon so you forced me to google this. It used to be you had to get the whole shifter but I've found a couple of places online like bizrate that have replacement parts. $18-20 for a grip. Call around the local shops, might be possible they kept a take off for someone changing to triggers or they can order you one.
