I'm fixing up my friend's bike, and her trigger shifters are toast. She can use
2 out of 3 rings in the front, and 1 out of 7 cogs in the back. The shifters
appear molded in with the brake levers, which is a drag, since the levers work
fine. It's an otherwise serviceable Trek 820 with fat

the pawls inside get gummed up with dried grease and dont do their job. most
likely you can open them up, degrease, flex the spring-loadd pawls back and

Be careful when taking them apart because there are small bits that
get lost easily. And if a rebuild doesn't work, I've hacksawed off the
shift levers and used the cheap Sunrace as replacements:
