Flushing Shimano STI Shifters...
I have heard from various posts on this newsgroup that a WD-40 flush of STI
shifters will "help them along". I plan on either lubricating or flushing my DA shifters - are the Flight Deck electronics safe from this, or can they be damaged? Thanks Basjan |

Remember WD-40 is often used as a 'water displacement' spray.
