I thinking just buy new shifter but not 100 % sure its the shifter could it be the mech? Bike shift fine from small to middle.
Im selling bike soon so like get this fixed for new owner
Any advise be great thanks in advance
that is a typical thing that confirms what the others have said. Look closely at shifter, remove the appropriate screws to open up the shifter and flush the heck out of it, shifting as you do this over and over.
