OUCH!!!! The shifter cable on my road bike snapped and since I've been experiencing other problems with shifting I decided to take it into the shop. Got a call today, the shifter isn't racheting as it should and needs to be replaced, $180. The problem that shifter is for a 9 speed, I have 8, so need to change the cassette, $90. That will get me going, but, now the right shifter doesn't match the left shifter, $120. Throw in labor, tax, we're talking about $450-$470
