What hoods for Dia Comp Aero G250C
Or at least that's what it says on one lever. AGC = Aero Gran Compe?
There are tons of hoods out there, not sure which ones are correct.
What is the best way to tell, the "curve" on top?
Thanks.

AGC is Aero Gran Compe.
The only pair in the fleet came with hoods, so I'm not much help.
The calipers are pretty cool, though:

The replacement hoods list a 287 and a 247. Not sure which works best.
Those are close, brake shoes are 1-piece, full black, on mine.

In the same boat. Need for my Trek with AGC. Screen shopping only and not sure how these would work:

The catalog, comprehensive as it is, isn't a great help. They all look similar, yet different. I've got Royal GC levers but they need their hoods.

287 are the V-brake levers.
I have both in the barn. I'll send some scans in the AM.

Those 287's are for canti's (and v-brakea according to previous post). Wouldn't think they'd be a perfect match but wadda-I-know?

The 247 has a longer "back slope" that is not as steep or deep, then curves up to the top of the lever, not quite as high/tall as those.
