Anybody know where / how to get hold of these, for 9-speed 105 (5500-series)? The rubber on mine is starting to go kinda rough and "sticky", as though the top surface has worn off.

I've heard of "Hudz" but they seem to be only for 10-speed Shimano. Ideally just plain standard Shimano spares, thought they'd be available but can't seem to find anything?

Cheers,
Richard

    Google 'st5500 hoods' comes-up with lots of results.

    They are same as 9sp Ultegra and st600 & st700, so try st6500, st6510, st600, st700, etc as well

    Thanks for that, have found a couple of places that look to have the right thing, will get onto them tomorrow.

    Wasn't sure whether the hoods were the same across the various models.

    Cheers,
    Richard.
