My L hand tiagra shifters, about 4 years old, shift fine but there is a slight bit of movement in the lever so it doesn't fit firmly against the housing . What should I look at tightening up ? I assume this is a great cable stretched. Many thanks

    If it is just cable stretch it would result in other symptoms e.g gears not tuned 100% or brakes with a long lever travel.

    It is possible that the STI body is worn and there is no real adjustment for that. I had to replace mine as I could not stand the rattling as i went over anything other than billiard table smooth surfaces.
    Yellow is the new Black.
