Left gear switch not working
Hello! I have a Mongoose Term and my left gear switch stopped working recently, it has a lot of resistance when I try to switch and then just goes straight back to the lowest setting. I'm asking here because I want to know if I can fix it easily or if I may need to bring it into a shop. Thanks!

I would check inside the shifter (and elsewhere) to be certain that the shift wire is not fraying. It is very difficult to get out if the end breaks off.
