So my 105 right shift has been giving me problems for the last couple of weeks and last night I decided to get around to fixing it. Boy did I ever. I just kept on dis-assembling the thing and the further I got the deeper I went. Friggin' springs flew everywhere and now I can't even get the damn thing back together. Pulled the guts right out of it. Hopeless I tell you. All I can do is laugh when I think about it. I'm usually more adept then this. Guess the planets were out of alignment or somthing. Oh well of to the LBS I go. Maybe its an excuse to upgrade? :D

I figure I'll keep the poor b*stard around and try to peice it together on those cold and dark winter evenings when I need to tinker.

Just how was I supposed to resist? :D

Hmm I just happen to have a decent set of 105 STI shifters. Slight marring on the edge of one of the levers. I don't know how it got there.
