Shimano 105 10 speed R/Hand shifter

[Spiderweb]

My friend is looking for a Shimano 105 (5700 I think?) 10 speed R/Hand shifter or even a set (double) for his 7 year old Cube, he’s happy to buy new but everywhere looks to be out of stock. Does anyone know of any available, or does anyone have one for sale?

I possibly still have a RH shifter off my old road bike. If I still have it, it is 10 speed ultegra or 105. If I remember I’ll check tomorrow.

@Spiderweb

Backup plan? A new pair for £133 available in case Ming forgets to look or doesn't have one.

Thank you so much for this info, I don’t know how you found these as I’ve looked everywhere for my friend and no stock anywhere!
It is new set he really wants so I’ve passed on the information.

Thank you for your reply Ming, I’m sure he would prefer a new set so I’ve passed on the link that @monkers posted up thread.👍

You are very welcome, glad to know it helped. The discount is a cherry on the cake.

Hopefully he’s bought them as showing as out of stock now

not everyone's cup of tea, but if you cant get RH shifter to match current LH, then Microshift do some decent 10spd shifters and can be found via ebay or other outlets at keen prices. Fully Shimano compatible, LH has trim function etc similar to 105 and it works very well. It has 2 separate paddles and the brake lever just does braking. You can't use 10sp Tiagra 4700 as the pull ration is different.

It saves upgrading everything else to 11 speed.

Yes he bought them first thing this morning.

I'm pleased.

Actually when I was searching, I found that Halfords have the levers, but they want £250 so I kept searching. I gave up when I found a pair at £133 thinking this was going to be the best price or very close to it.

The only difference being the colour of the levers being either silver or black.

@monkers £133/pair is an absolute bargain, my friend is delighted, thank you again.

Shimano shifters seem to very elusive, Iv'e been waiting for an Ultegra hydraulic lever warranty replacement since last August.
I kept being promised it would be 4-6 weeks & recently told it will now be late June at the very earliest.

@newts

Sorry to hear this. Is your bike off the road? Perhaps if you post further details, we might help find one so that you can pursue your claim?

Yes, the bikes been off the road all this time with a failed shifter.
I have another bike albeit not as nice to ride, so not the end of the world in amongst everything else going on in the world.
It's being done by LBS (they've already been credited by Madison for the part), they weren't keen a while back when i offered to purchase one elsewhere & them credit me back for it. Currently it appears they are no longer any available in the UK.

You are more predisposed to patience than me. I'd be really quite cross! Have you been offered an exchange bike, a refund, compensation for loss of use, or any other remedy?
