Review: The best I think I'm gonna get, which is pretty durn good. - I have old Dia-Compe brakes, with the safety bars (which apparently are kind of a permanent attachment... :/ ), and I was tired of 1) seeing the aluminum/-ium brake lever housings, and tired of how uncomfortable they are to hold for long periods. So, I went out on a limb and bought these. I was waiting until I got new brake cables and housings to install these, along with a new bar wrap, but I got a wild hair up my butt and stayed up waaaay too late last night installing them. If you're unsure of how to do that, just go watch some YouTube videos. RJ The Bike Guy has a good one on how to install aero brake levers; the steps are very similar. And there's a British channel full of pretentious gear heads that has a good one on how to actually install the hoods, but I mostly ignored that. The install itself was pretty easy; just pull the damn things on, slowly and little by little, so as to avoid tearing them. The hiccups I ran into were due to the fact that I was using old cable, which was a little frayed (which makes things a LOT more difficult), and I didn't have the right tools. Both of which were my own fault, and will not be reflected in this review. Like I mentioned before, I have the brake levers with the safety/suicide handles on, which did complicate things a bit. Luckily, they're easy to remove most of the way. I'd've left them off, but the main axle on which all the levering force is centered is especially long, hollow, and threaded, to accept the hardware for those levers, and there's no way to replace those axles without just replacing the entire lever (which I will be, down the road). So, instead, I pulled the hoods on all the way, took a small screwdriver, and poked through into the hollow areas on the axles, pulled the hood down around those axles, and trimmed off the excess with a razor. Now the safety handles fit securely, operate normally, and the hood has a nice fit and finish to it. Took my first ride with them on today; a nice 10-miler with errands thrown in for good measure. Such a noticeable difference. Not just in looks, though that's definitely a major bonus, but also in comfort. I don't ride with gloves (yet), and that little extra cushioning/shock absorption is supreme. So so happy I finally got around to putting them on. My only gripe with these is that the nubbin from which the brake cable comes out isn't the tightest-fitting thing in the world on my levers. It might be on yours, but it's definitely not on mine. It's fine, you can't even see that it's a touch loose, but it's not perfect. You can't even feel it when riding. But you *can* feel it if you grab around that little peak and squeeze/shimmy. It's not a perfect fit. But hey, it's universal-ish. Can't win them all. Overall, I'm very very pleased.
Review: Nice Brake hoods, poor description - As several posters stated , they do fit the 80's Día Campe brake levers. Maybe more.. They are vacuum sealed and made in Taiwan. Taiwan makes a lot of bicycles, and parts. They look good quality. They fit my 85 Fuji. Unfortunately they are described and measured very badly. One listing states they are 7X 5 inches, That's the size if a paperback book. What they are is approx. 7x5 cm. Check buyers feedback for better info. There is no telling what you buy from the garbled description till you get it. Edit: when I went to install the hoods I found that there is notch to load the cable and no rotating the fitting into position. The whole brake cable needs to be removed and re treaded from the brake levers through the sheathing , and reattached to brakes and crimped. This was more then I wanted to do for a cosmetic item, at this time. The polished brake levers look fine without the hoods.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made and fitted but not correct for dual brake lever handlebar setups
*by I***X on June 12, 2015*

This lever hood is pretty well molded to fit the lever hinge housing commonly found on the handlebars of a vintage 10-spd roadbike (in my case a Sears Roebuck model mfg in the late 1960's). However keep in mind that these hoods aren't designed for ALL brake lever setups. In my case the handlebars have two sets of brake levers, one set upper and one set lower (a classic Dia-Compe setup). These hoods are not molded to fit brake lever setups like mine. I had to use my knife to cut/modify them by adding a hole on the anterior side of each hood to accomodate the mounting bolt/screw where the upper set of brake levers attaches/pivots. After I added the hole it basically worked, although not perfectly. I do need to grease up the upper lever a little because it is rubbing on the hood just slightly, but that's fine. My bike is just a commuter. It isn't a show piece. Oh, and it was a bit tricky to wrap the handlebar tape once I had the hood in place so if you're planning to wrap your bars, do that first and then install these hoods afterward.
