Any chance these blue pads would be SwissStop?Pads are blue. Probably Shimano.
best mask is the N95Looking at getting some masks for prolonged usage this winter as COVID surges and we head indoors. All the sports type (mizuno UA adidas etc) seem to be sold out. What are you finding to be a comfortable washable mask solutions? cheers
Brifters not shifting well at all:
Pretty old ultegras, sat for a while, and don't shift well now, tho after some (attempted) 'use' they seem slightly better. I think this is the ratchet pawls or something gummed/morked up, and not a frayed or near broken cable--both sides are similarly affected.
What kind of service is due? (Don't worry, or suggest it. I'm not going to take those things apart.) Google tells me some shimano models are more affected by this than others.
Uh, examples? Even googling that with 'bicycle' added, I get a slew of chain-related suggestions....「oil in cleaner」...
No, I wouldn't do that, chain lube is way too thick. You could try WD40, though. Make sure to shift back and forth so that the WD40 makes its way all around the mechanism.Would a teflon chain lube be worth a try on its own?
Facing a similar problem years ago, I got things moving again using copious silicone spray.Uh, examples?

I'd be leery of it but how about a shot of parts cleaner followed by chain lube?

Thanks--I'll try the silicone spray first (much cheaper).I use silicone spray on metal cleats and MTB pedals.

I think the 2 sprays have a different purpose. If you check your local home centre, they probably have a cheap oil in cleaner equivalent.Thanks--I'll try the silicone spray first (much cheaper).
