Shimano lever pivot

Had this pivot move left and right under shifting with 7100 and Grx 600. Left one can be stopped by running more cable tension, right not as it will try to change gear. Pivot can be pushed side to side with force, doesn't affect shifting but can be felt as a crack/click through hood. Anyone else?

Assuming Shimano haven't changed the setup from what they've used forever, there should be a 2mm allen grub screw biting on the pivot pin from underneath. They're easy to strip when the threads on the screw have had a chance to rust inside the lever body... I've usually had success with a squirt of CRC or whatever, and sometimes also wrapping the allen key in a layer or two of foil, twisting it off over the end. You could also try jamming in the appropriate sized torx bit, although it might be a bit small for that trick to work.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
