Can this be done? Just picked up my new bike and it’s got those stupid pointless things on and I want to get rid of them!

I don’t think it can on Deore I’m afraid.

I haven’t seen the new deores, but it always used to be that you could remove the indicators from LX(SLX) and above, not from deore.

Ok, that’s a shame. I know you can unscrew the covers I think, but did’t know if you could get covers for the hole that will be left?

They’re these ones I think

For XT, just undo the two screws. The cover is situated under the indicator, is clipped back in and secured with one of the screws – 5 minute job.

Not sure about Deore though…

I’ll see how big the hole is! 🙂

Just cover the hole with gaffer tape. Make sure you cover it well and the tape stays in position as you don’t want a load of mud and grit in there.
