I run a triple chainring and lately the flight deck will
not record the

chainring changes when I change from the 52 to the 39 ring.
It will also sometimes miss the change to the 39
ringalthough not consistently.

I have been told by the local dealer it is most likely in
the levers as

that is where the most movement and wear will be. He however
is not that keen on taking it apart as he has not worked on
these levers much.

Any body know how complicated it is to dismantle the
Shimano Ultegra

levers?

Quoted message said:

The way I see it is: if it does not work now, how can I
bugger it up? If I

fix it, then I will claim superior intelegence, but then I
just might have to replace anyway. Any assistance would be
appreciated.

Hello,

I had some problems with two Flightdecks not reading
properly after a period of time.It turned out to be a
problem at the interface between the contacts in the hoods
and the 'plug' at the end of the incoming wire.Shimano are
aware of this problem and supply small shims to go under the
lever contacts in the hoods.My bike shop cut me a couple off
a sheet in some new levers.They are like thickish clear
plastic.These shims lift and support the hood contacts and
since installing these I have had no further trouble. Hope
this is of assistance.
