Shimano Di2 Hidden Buttons… Fixed for Under $5!

If you’ve ever fumbled trying to hit Shimano Di2’s “hidden” hood buttons, this sub $5 hack might be exactly what you need. These tiny caps slip under the hood and expand the surface area of the button, making those elusive buttons way easier to press, without accidentally triggering them when shifting hand positions. I was skeptical at first, but after testing them on Ultegra R8170 levers, I was surprised at just how well they work. It’s a simple, cheap upgrade that makes Di2’s bonus buttons genuinely more useful.

    1. A trick on the E1 levers (Red + Force) with bonus buttons is to flip the buttons under the hood. People are using this trick to make them easier to press.

      1. Thanks for responding, but I’m not sure what you mean by “flip the buttons under the hood'”
