I came off my road bike at the end of last year and scuffed the silver section just underneath the hoods and one of the levers. No problems thought I - I can sand the areas down, fill in any gouges and then spray them - especially as functionally the brakes are fine. I've done this and they look smart again. One problem!
The area around the Shimano 105 decal was unaffected so I masked this bit off and sprayed the affected areas. Unfortunately when I removed the maskign tape the decals came off too. Now I'm not going to spent £170 replacing the brake levers just for a couple of decals - but I gather the "silver bit" of the brake level mechanism can be bought separately foir about £10 and fitted. The problem is I don't know what it's called.
Can anyone tell me?
