Sticky Hoods

Hi!

I have Shimano 105 break levers. The hoods are less than 5 years old. They are getting sticky. it's
probably the temperatures over here in Oman.

Is there any way to solve this? Or can you buy new rubbers?

Thanks.

Dave

I don't know how to "solve" sticky hoods.

But, replacement are available for around $10-20.

Talc powder?

If you can't find them in the US, Parker International in the UK do them for about 6UKP. Bought some
black ones this week because I was fed up of cleaning the white ones all the time.
