Loose part in 105 brake lever
So, I'm going down a hill the other day and apply a little front brake going into a turn. I release the brake and get up from the saddle to accelerate. Unfortunately, the brake is still engaged! The lever was still "squeezed"(squozen?). A plastic part was wedged in the mechanism. In the following exploded diagram- http://bike.shimano.com/media/cycling/techdocs/en/bikecomponents/ST/EV-ST-5510_v2_m56577569830557305.pdf http://tinyurl.com/c8ssg The part in question is number 7 "L.H. Rear cover". I tried putting the part back in place but it seems prone to come loose again. I really don't want involuntary front brake application so I left it out. The braking and shifting works fine without it. My question is should I care about this part? What is it doing there anyway? -- Roy Sinnamond roysinnamond at mac dot com |
