As these age they become sticky and fade, luckily replacing these with new ones is a simple job. Put either hand sanitizer or dish soap on the brake lever, as this will make removing the old hood easier. Add a bit more fluid and the new hood will then slide into place. It does take a little hand muscle, but goes quickly. The new hoods look and feel better, and that's a bit more motivation to get in those summer miles. I would second buying a set for the parts box new, because at some point they will run out of these. Safe Summer Cycling

I recently bought an older model Cannondale road bike with old, gummy white brake hoods. I looked high and low across the internet for a replacement hood for the older style brakes on the bike but kept running into them being out of stock everywhere. I found this listing, the price was great, with free shipping, and in stock so I scooped it up. And I'm glad I did! These hoods fit PERFECTLY on my RX100 style brakes and make the bike look and feel like new!

I almost give up with my project of restoring a vintage GIANT bike. Than I found this item after a long time of searching. It fits like original. Realy great deal for me. My old bike has a great new look now!

I'm in the middle of restoring a 1987 Centurion le mans and these fit perfectly over the brake levers and seem to be a good match for the orignial 'diacompe' hoods. Very hard to get on, had to use some heat, a little stretch, and some alcohol spray as lubricant. Maybe there's a trick that I don't know about.

Good fit for my 30 year-old Shimano RX100 brake levers. Not perfect though, as they are slightly shorter down the sides. More than I would have expected to pay for two bits of rubber.
