Dura Ace 10sp lever rattling

[Jock]

Hi all,
Just got back from a ride where a rattle has developed in the right hand 10
sp durace lever. very noticeable on the rough roads around here and
certainly noticeable when i bounce the front of the bike. I took the name
cap off and spotted a retained nut but didn't attempt to lever out the
prongs and tighten it up. Anybody had a similar experience. I know the
earlier ultegra and 105 levers were prone to rattle but I thought this
wouldn't happen with the new Dura Ace. The levers have less than 1600 km
use. A possible warranty job??
Any opinions or fixes greatfully received.
Cheers
Jock

WIth new leversets in boxes, I remember seeing a little rubber band
that might help stop the 'rattle'. If I recall, it's about 8mm tall
and rectangular to fit around the main lever.


ask the bike shop you bought the lever/bike from ?
