Help!! Round DT shifter bosses....I hate the French, ugh
Well, crap. Everything I had read on the 80's Peugeot Tourmalet said it was all standard vs the french standard we all love to hate.
Sourced a beautiful Suntour Superbe setup to replace the clunky, imprecise Sachs Huret stuff. Pulled off the shifters and found round DT bosses instead of the standard flat sided ones.
Anyone got a solution? What's weird is the rear side shifter is actually working fine but the front isn't.
I've done some googling but found no real answers.. This is my 4th French bike and everytime I say "NEVER AGAIN". One of these days I need to listen to myself.
