Box One 11S Shifter

After years of service my shifter finally bit the dust. It was the best 11 speed shifter out there, you could downshift with fingers over the bars. I hope they bring it back.

Honestly I wanted this to work so badly, so I could support smaller companies but it just was very hard to push. It did eventually loosen up. But the box 1 derailleur bolt failed and the box 2 cassette failed after 4 rides as well so I just took everything off.

I recently purchased a bike that came with Box groupset. On my 4th ride somehow my shifter lever snapped off....no crash occurred. I think, as I was starting a lowside slide, I threw my leg out to prevent going down, the lever snagged on my shorts. I heard the metal snap and the piece went flying into the under brush. Up until that moment I had really loved the setup.

Since I am not the original purchaser the warranty doesn't apply. Now I am trying to decide if I want to just swap over to another brand since this is the only shifter I have had in 11 years of riding that has broken. Thing is, I love the rear cassette gear ratio.

This company warranted my derailleur when it broke no questions asked I will always buy Box Component products when available.
