A public thank-you to Mike Jacoubowsky and mild reproach to "S" brand

[Alstead]

Thank you, Mike, for your page:
http://www.chainreactionbicycles.com/noisystilevers.htm

but I must add that the design for which this fix is intended is
indeed pathetic. Who would ever design and manufacture something
that, having endured a single tumble against a garage door with a final
resting angle of perhaps 75 degrees, would create such an ungodly
racket?
For shame.

But for helpful folk like Mike all these flimsy caps would still be
rattling away.

I use downtube shifters and my 105 brake levers still rattle...

So did mine, the old ones with the once-white hoods. Buzz something sinful.
