Wanted. A Shimano brake/shifter model ST-M095. Right only, or a pair. Can be damaged or in poor condition, provided the plastic part I need is intact.
The right shifter on my Team Marin MTB has failed. The cable just detached itself from the shifter when I was changing gear. I took it apart and an internal plastic part has failed. It's the bit that attaches the end of the cable to the rotating mechanism. It has broken into numerous small pieces and is unusable. I can't see any way to improvise a repair, so a replacement is called for. It does seem odd that the rest of the unit is solidly made from substantial metal parts and the cable is connected by this thin and fragile piece of plastic. Anyway, it has lasted since the early 1990s, so it can't be all bad.
I'm looking for a right hand shifter or a pair in any condition. It could be completely broken, provided the part I need is present. Mine is an 8 speed, but I suspect that the same part is used in the 7 speed, so either would do.
Photos of the complete unit are below. Can anyone help, please?
