Shimano Brifter hoods
My utility bike has Shimano STi shifters and the hoods are deteriorating. Getting all sticky and falling apart. Are replacement hoods available (at a reasonible price :-) If they are available is there a difference between hoods for different models, say 105 and Tiagra, for example?

There are several sources from an arm and a leg at your local shop to cheap off of Ebay. ANY of the old gum rubber type will eventually get in the same condition but the newer synthetic rubbers are entirely better.

Yes and no, mostly very different by model and year. Peel back a cover to find the Shimano part code on the side of the lever body, starting with ST-XXX. That's the cover model you need. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971

Thank you Andrew. Now I know what to order I can have the Shimano agent here order them.
