Hi all, a common question about stuck shifters. I remembered freeing up my old 6700 before with GT85 and an air duster but tried the same on my current 6800 shifter and didn't work. Also swapped out the inner gear cable but problem seems to be that the cable ends are not moving in the shifter slot itself. Is this another one for repeated goes with lubricant and air duster?

Are you sure you used the correct ferrule on the end of the outer? The one with the long neck slots into the cable groove on the shifter, otherwise it will jam.

Been there, done that.
