In this video I’m going to explain how to fix sticky MTB shifters. In this case Deore XT STI shifters from 1991.
MTB shifters work with a ratchet mechanism and are lubricated using a thicker lithium grease. A tiny spring makes sure the ratchet pawl keeps applying force on the ratchet wheel.
But over time the grease totally dries and keeps the pawl from returning. The symptom is a loose shifter that won’t shift anymore.
I had this problem before with another bike. I solved it by painstakingly cleaning and lubricating the shifter. This time I tried a more brute force approach, which I consider to be a much more effective solution to this problem.
I’m going to do both shifters. Though the shifters are obviously different left and right, the process is the same.
I've also written a blog post with more information. If you want to read this article go to https://www.restoration.bike/bike-rep...
