105 hoods on the shift have gone a bit baggy after being removed a couple of times.
replace or fix ??
Did you make sure all the little molded in lugs are seated? I haven’t experienced saggy hoods like that, but have had it look rough when I didn’t get them engaged with the plastic housing properly. If they are just stretched out beyond repair then I’d replace because it would annoy me a bunch otherwise
i think they are just stretched after a cable replacement. the lugs dont seem to want to line up to get pressed it. i guess i’m getting new ones !
Did you need to remove them entirely? The few times I’ve done that, they seemed to be irreparably stretched - probably because of my cack-handed nature.
Maybe attach a photo or a video to show how much play you’ve got? I suspect this kind of thing is really down to personal preference though. If you’re sliding around missing shifts, I’d for sure change them. Mine haven’t had that problem so much as the sun has really attacked the rubber over time, and they’re permanently tacky now.
