Shimano 105 1055 shifter hoods
I have these old school shifters on my bike and I love them. Unfortunately the hoods have gotten old and sticky and I can't seem to find replacements on the web. Does anybody know where rubber hoods that would fit this can be found?

keep searching eBay on a daily basis. NOS hoods for those shifters are rare. It's probably easier to find lightly used shifters of that vintage, than NOS hoods.

Thanks, and also on this topic does anybody know how to get those darn gear cables out? I got myself stuck because I don't see a way to thread them out.

If the chain is on the small cog , depress the lever and you will be able to push your cable out . And , Noodle Soup is correct , the hoods pictured in the link will not work on your STI shifters . Hope this helps , and good luck !

Edit: I watched a video on youtube with a similar shifter. It appears that I should be able to push it out the side of the shifter? But when I look in that hole on mine, the cable is wound downwards on the inside even though I've shifted to the lowest?

Yes, you should be able to remove / install from the side . Hit the paddle a few more times to try and get to the "home" position.
