Reviews over the

Shimano ST-6800, ST-5800, ST-4700, ST-4703

Exactly the part I needed to replace. I bought the bike second-hand and the covers were quite sticky, and there was a small tear somewhere too. The serial number of the Ultegra groupset is moulded into the plastic somewhere underneath the covers on the side, in case you (like me) don’t know the number. The replacement itself does require a bit of force; you have to pull the covers over the end of the handle and the brake lever. It’s best to apply a fair bit of force without damaging the covers, which is exactly what’s needed.

Pros & Cons

The product fits perfectly, downside is that it has to be pulled and wriggled over the handbrake hump with a lot of effort and with alcohol or soap. It feels like you are pulling it apart.

Pros & Cons

Glad I can replace these myself. I put the handle in hot water for a while to make it a bit pliable and then you 'fold' it into place quite easily.

Pros & Cons

Very good product, fits perfectly
