Suntour power thumb shifters
I picked up a set of these for cheap as one would not move. It appeared clean from the outside, but upon opening it, it looked like this.
there is actually another thin metal washer on the base, though I didn’t realize that until I started working on the second shifter.
FYI, the snap ring is relatively malleable, so be gentle.
after some cleaning they now look like this
I was looking for a photo of the order of the parts but I couldn’t find one online, so I figured I would post this.
for reference: bottom to top
base plate
thin metal washer
thumb shifter
notched thick metal washer
thick UHMW washer
notched wheel
thin UHMW washer
notched thin metal washer
snap ring
notched metal washer with tangs, tangs face down
cover
