so, i got this lovely set of cane creek brake levers, model SCR-5. i wanted natural rubber, so they shipped a set with black rubber hoods, and included natural rubber on the package.

question: how the devil do you get the black hoods off without destroying them, or is that the only way? just cut them off? ouch!! hope not...

yer help, folks...

soapy water. Take lever off the bars first.
