[#3126738]

I have a Shimano 600-6400 groupset (which I bought in 1992!!) and I'm trying to source new rubber hoods for the shifters.

Does anyone have any ideas where I might find some? Hudz don't make any for this shifter - it was one of the very first STIs...

Cheers!

Thanks BB< had a look but no joy.

I was hoping somebody might know if a different, later shifter hood is compatible - it's a similar shape to the later 105 and tiagra shifters but I can't seem to find out if they're the same...

It's a shame because the rest of the groupset is in perfect condition, no signs of where at all... Far better build quality than the current Ultegra.

Tiagra had a specific cover as did 105 so they are not the same. Not sure if you can get away with using them though, the differences may be quite small.

I would imaging they need to be spot on Mister P. Looks like I'll probably have to stick with the old ones - they've just gone a bit baggy...
