FAQs

Is this kit compatible with the right-hand shifter?

No, this specific part number (0C598010) is designed specifically for the left-hand ST-R9120 shifter.

Do I need special tools to replace the name plate?

You only need a small precision screwdriver (usually a Phillips head) to remove the fixing screw.

Will replacing this affect my shifting performance?

No, this is a cosmetic and protective cover. It does not influence the mechanical shifting or braking functionality.

Does the kit come with a new shifter hood?

No, the kit includes only the hard plastic name plate and the small fixing screw.

Can I use this on ST-R9100 mechanical shifters?

No, this part is specific to the R9120 hydraulic version and will not fit the mechanical-only R9100 series.

Troubleshooting

The name plate feels loose after installation.

Ensure the screw is fully seated and the plate is snapped correctly into the alignment tabs on the shifter body.

The fixing screw will not catch the threads.

Check that the name plate is perfectly flush against the shifter body. If the plastic threads in the shifter body are stripped, the entire shifter unit may require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility

This part is exclusively compatible with the Shimano ST-R9120 left-hand hydraulic shift/brake lever. It is not interchangeable with other Dura-Ace generations or mechanical-only shift levers. Verify your model number, which is printed on the underside of your current shifter hood or body, before attempting installation.

Installation Steps

  1. Peel back or remove the rubber shifter hood to expose the name plate area.
  2. Use a precision screwdriver to gently unscrew the original fixing screw.
  3. Carefully pry the old name plate off the shifter body.
  4. Align the new name plate with the mounting points.
  5. Insert the new fixing screw and tighten until firm—do not overtighten as the plastic body can strip easily.
  6. Reposition the shifter hood over the name plate.

Care

Keep the shifter area clean by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth after rides to prevent sweat or road grit from accumulating under the name plate edges.
