Hi folks,
I'm a massive beginner, and as a beginner, I've bought a gnarly cheap bike from Argos.
Issues I'm having is that the thumb shift has disintegrated, and as I don't seem to be able to buy that particular shift from anywhere as a like for like swap out, I'm not sure what I can use as it's just a 6-speed, it's cheap and weird, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not really sure what requirements I should be looking out for in terms of compatibility, are shifters universal?
Whilst a good suggestion might be 'buy a better bike' I'm stuck with this one for March at least, and it's still ridable, I'm stuck in 2nd for the most part of my A to B which is mostly uphill anyway, but the B to A being downhill in a low gear can be a bit tedious as I'm sure you can imagine.
Thanks for any help!
