Flushing Shimano STI Shifters...

basjan-<< I have heard from various posts on this newsgroup
that a WD-40 flush of STI shifters will "help them along". I
plan on either lubricating or flushing my DA shifters - are
the Flight Deck electronics safe from this, or can they be
damaged? >><BR><BR>

'STI repair kit'-you are flushing up where the shift guts
are, not toward the back..Shouldn't hurt it. Remember WD-40
is often used as a 'water displacement' spray.

It's good for cleaning, displacing water and as a temporary
lube, but it doesn't last for serious lubrication.
