Are they 10 speed?
It should be the same on 8 & 9 speed, i think, but i’m Sure you can remove the entire gear mechanism in the shifter and leave a spring and carrier body in them for the levers.
Terry at Brixton cycles showed me how to do it, but to be honest I need to refresh myself when I find a pair to work on.
I’m sure there is a video on t’internet somewhere as well, i’ll See what I either remember or can find on line later.
Either way the levers never ‘dangled’ and I don’t think it was just to do with the pull on the calipers.
