Just got a pair of Shimano LX Shifters 9sp T660 from Chain reaction. Bargain £27 a pair!
Problem is my riser bars are quite wide before they rise up from the stem - and the indicator window hits the "bulge". As a result, I can't fit everything on the bars where I want it, and my brake levers are too close to my grips.
I can see how to remove the indicator window - but can I get a dust cover to keep all the grime out of the shifters?
Cheers
(SS for years, so this has only just become a problem).
hammer/gaffer tape
Thats what i did to my last ones with windows.
I don't think they do a dust cover like newer SLX come with.
I've took them off mine and covered them with electrical tape. They've held so far (since Xmas) despite the shifters semi-regularly being filled with WD40 from the middleburn cable oilers along the outer cabling
Thanks - I might give that a try. Or I might get new bars..
