repair simplex retrofriction shifter?
Is it possible to repair simplex retrofriction shifters? I have several pairs of these and love them. However, I have a left shifter that isn't working as it should. I have heard that the internal spring breaks sometimes? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance?

I'm sure it's possible, although I've never done it myself. The problem is finding replacement parts if you need them. Perhaps this will help?
