Sorted Shimano ST MC-32 shifters

[rothaz]

Hi All,

I am after a Left shifter for a 1995 Marin Nail Trail.

Its a Shimano MC-32... anyone have one lying around?!

Hi,
Welcome to Retrobike!
Hope you've already been warned about the danger to bank balance/kids dinner money fund/family relationships that generally starts here.Hope the experience is a great one.Personally have found loads of help/information/spares etc.Great bunch of people.
Is that STX/STX RC?Just out of interest,do you have a faulty shifter you need to replace?There's a common fix for sticking Shimano shifters if that's your issue?

Thanks Captain! Yes there is a faulty shifter I need to replace, I’ve tried oiling and loosening the return catch inside but I think the mainspring has broken.

i think they are STX RC. I will post a photo later.

Ok.May have one but if you can't see anything broken there's still a good chance it could be freed off.Personally I remove them n leave them to soak in degreaser for a day or two (sometimes longer) n keep working the mechanisms/scrub with toothbrush.9 times out of ten that's sorted them for me.Not often managed to free them in situ.

I'll take another look today, but otherwise would be interested to get it off you
