Hi there! Dear cyclists! In this video tutorial, we'll take a look at
How to replace the brake lever covers.
Remove the winding from the handlebar. First of all, you need to unwind the handlebar cable very carefully so as not to damage it. You may want to reinstall it, but of course it is better to install a new winding. It will be more pleasant to the touch and generally better. Remove the shifter from the bottom of the road bike. Usually the outer casing is torn as a result of a bike fall. I wish it could be replaced quickly and easily, but unfortunately it will take some hard work to make it all work.
Absolutely everything has to be removed, disconnected and then reconfigured. Remove the hood from the street shifter. Difficult, but possible.
Sometimes it is recommended to warm up the rubber with a hair dryer or hot water, but there is a chance of damaging the shifter itself.
We will not do this, but we will try to take off and put on, as usual way, without the use of elevated temperature. Before replacing the shifter, you need to make sure that the outer shell is the same.
Put on a new cover for the shifting wheel. It is better to remove the clamping ring beforehand, it will interfere with the installation of a new shell on the microshifter. Sometimes it seems impossible, but if you try a little, it will work! A little bit, a millimeter by millimeter we get to finish.
Looks like it's done! Subscribe to the channel, put likes. And we continue to put a cover on the shifter of our gravel bike.
The hardest one is behind. Now we need to prepare the fixing clamp and put the shifter on the bike ram (road bike handlebar). Positioning on the drop bars. Brake lever mounting and positioning on the handlebars.
When the Revoshifters are lined up opposite each other, you can go to the next step, which is to wind the winding on the handlebars of a bicycle. So we replaced the outer skin on a road bike revoshifter.
