Shimano Light Action / Z series - an entry level group with a very nice, understated silver look and excellent mechanicals. Their light action ratchet shifters are second only to simplex retro frictions as the best friction shifters out there
I have a set of the L422 shifters- I found them too stiff and FAR preferred the Sachs/Huret shifters. But I thought- I should probably get those out and give them a second chance- so I just went down to the basement, found the box and the bag... and bam... they're exploded all over the bag.
Is there some place that has an exploded diagram of how these go together?
I have a clamp on boss that I have some SIS shifters on- I could twistie tie those together- but the L422s... they have to be screwed on to something to hold them together apparently.
