Anyone with the Shimano R685s finding the rubber hoods are really baggy? I've fitted and bled my front brake once, and my rear brake twice and am finding that the left (rear) rubber hood will no longer stay in place and shifts about as I ride. I've spent longer than I'd like to admit carefully pulling and tugging it into place, only for it to shift around as soon as I get out of the saddle or ride up a hill. Really frustrating. Is this a known thing, or am I just unlucky/stupid?

Maybe you got fluid on it making it less than sticky?

I didn't spot any, but I'll have another look. I think it's just gone a bit baggy. Having googled it, there's quite a few people with the same issue who reckon Shimano have slightly redesigned the hood since. I'll bugger about with it tonight and see if I can get it sorted.
