I have SunTour Symmetric shifters on my
leave it at work bike, an 84 Novara Randonee. On an after work ride last week I notice the front shifter was a bit wonky. I started to take it apart at work and remembered the # of parts and the lack of a decent stand/work space there so I brought it home. Even with the diagram I could not get it to work acceptably -there is a huge amount of lateral play in the FD shifter and I am just done with fiddling with it and have little trust its going to function properly. I raised the white flag and ordered some SunTour power shifters on a down-tube band that I am going to mount in place of the Symmetrics. Sigh.
