ID: 206879

Description: If your road bike's shifter hoods are peeling...

Steps:

1. Find the model number and the brand. We will be replacing the Shimano ST-6700 shifter covers.
2. Finding the exact model and brand is very important as other models or brands may not fit.
3. The model number and brand may not be in the same location. Check along and around the shifter hoods.

4. Use a hairdryer or heat gun to heat up the covers to make them more malleable.

5. Remove the old covers by pulling the front up and rolling the back part over.

6. Clean the surface using paper towels and isopropyl alcohol.

7. Coat the surface in more alcohol.
8. This makes installation easier and isopropyl is fast drying meaning after it dries, it should become more rigid.

9. Heat up the new covers with the hair dryer on a low setting to avoid melting the part.
10. If you do not have a hair dryer or heat-gun you may boil some water and heat up the covers by submersing them for a few minutes. Be careful removing them; if the water is too hot, use tongs or other tools to remove the covers.
11. If you are using a different brand of shifter covers, check to see if they correspond to the left or right handlebars of the bike.

12. Pull the covers up.

13. Pull the covers on by pulling them up and over the top of the hoods.

14. Locate the seam near the top of the hoods.

15. Set the seam into the groove at the top of the bars.
