How to fix crooked shifter/brake levers
As the title says, how do you fix crooked brake/shifter levers? I know you are supposed to find some sort of 5mm Allen screw under the hood cover, but I can’t find one. I have shimano 105 shifters.
thanks,

Can you just push it straight? If it got turned by a crash, it's often possible to just push it back in place.
If not, pull the hood up, loosen the bolt, straighten, then tighten.

Which model of 105 shifter? The older ones have the 5mm bolt on the outside of the shifter body that you access from the front of the shifter, under the hood.
