Sounds like a task tailor-made for 3D printing. The ideal situation would be if Dia-Compe would send you the 3D file that they almost certainly have, but I'm sure that (rational) liability concerns will prevent this. Peter Adler no longer professionally engaged in the

Great idea about 3D printing, Peter! I'll reach out to Riv on the off chance they can get me the file I need. Our local library has a maker space with a 3D scanner and 3D printers, so I can go get certified and see if I can make some stuff! It's about a 5 minute walk for me. On Wednesday,

The mechanism looks almost identical to the Suntour Barcon (of course) so broken Barcons might be a source of parts. In addition the stem or downtube mounted Suntour power ratchet shifters might also have the spring. See velobase here:

Thanks, Michael. IIRC the Silver 1s are copied from the Suntour Sprint downtube levers. From this diagram it looks like the design of the Silver levers is very similar. But the depiction of the pawl (No. 3, "Ratchet spring A) looks considerably different than the Silver pawl. It could be that

I suspect the bar end shifter is more like the thumbshifter design in that the ratchet and all related parts are notable larger than on the Sprint DT version. I like the idea of 3d imaging and machining of parts, if/when possible ! On Wednesday, September 20, 2023 at 4:00:25 PM UTC-4
