I thought maybe the cable had snapped. I was wrong--the shifter broke right off in my hand.



These are repairable, right?

I was not planning on replacing the drivetrain on this bike, but do I stick with a SRAM setup after this? I've got one bike with Campy 10, and another with Campy 11, but it would be a substantial investment to bring this one to that level of functionality.
Repairable, yes and no..yes, you can take apart and replace things like the shift blade, no, sram doesn't provide any small parts for their levers.

Not uncommon..when sram stuff was brand new to cycling world, I warrantied about a dozen for this.

Call sram..if 10s, you may be SOL.
