They really don’t fit well with my brakes. How do you take the windows off the latest XT shifters and just have the shifters?

do you need to buy blanking caps?

advice appreciated

cheers

If the’re like the SLX’s (and I believe they are) then the indicator assembly simply unscrews from the body of the shifter (2 tiny screws), and the blanking plate can be found on the (underside) of the indicator body, which slots and them screws into place. Takes <30 seconds 🙂

dremel?

As jimbo said two screws and twist left or right not sure which off top off head and blanking plate just slides out and screws down over removed display

Blanking plugs…!!!
Insulating tape trimmed over a 1p coin is just as good.

Easy.

1. remove shifters from bike
2. replace with SRAM!
3. sell or bin the crap.

Sorry too this year I’ve seen loads of people with shimano rear mechs fall apart after only small amounts of time – don’t know what shimano have been playing at but they seem awful of late – SRAM seem to be so much moore durable.

brilliant!

worked a treat, shimano think of everything, thanks for your help.
