Any one know where to get cheap Shimano Ultegra STI gear lever plastic cover caps? I have Ultegra 6510s and need to replace one as it got damaged on the weekend. My LBS said they can get them but they are £10.99 ........EACH!!! That's EACH!!!!!! So £22 for a pair of tiny pieces of plastic with a crappy silver coating and the words SHIMANO Flight Deck on them. It's outrageous a total rip off. £22 for a pair!!!!!!!

'kin hell.

So any ideas?

TIA.

    Thanks. Btw it is only the top cover that is needed. Shimano try and justify the £10.99 by supplying the metal plate beneath which is not needed :evil: .

    Still expensive at £7.99 and £2.50 postage on top!! for two plastic covers that weigh next to nothing and could go normal first class post 34p or even 48p.

    I thought Campag parts were a rip off but Shimano take the trophy this time.
