Hi,
My left shifter on my road bike has a rattle from a slight bit of movement. If I put my finger on it and pull it back (opposite way to pulling the brake on) it stops rattling.
Is this just worn and there's nothing I can do about it or is there something I can tighten or replace?
Thanks
There's a wee plastic bit that sits at the top of the lever that can come loose. Pull the lever to reveal a wee philips head screw that fixes it.
Hope that sorts it.
I have the same rattle. I put some wee 5x5x2mm sticky pads inside (on top of that philips head screw), but it hasn't really improved things. Open to ideas...!

Lol, I have lost that screw before but I've already checked it this time.
I'll try some tape
My old set did that and I made it go by not having the reach all the way in, just a tiny little out sorted it out.
Maybe check what the reach is set at?

Fixed it! Thank you!
Didn't even realise these brakes (ST-RS685) had reach adjustment. Manual here in case anyone else didn't spot this 2mm hex screw...
No worries! Was really doing my head in on mine

OK, I've watched the video, I'll try this. I'll let you know. Thanks everyone.
@ojays not only has that fixed it but the brakes feel better. Its a good job I have big hands and didn't need the extra reach. Thanks
