hudz...
Hey guys, I'm looking at a predominately white bike and want to wrap the bars in white and get white hudz. Do they get extremely dirty fast? I know the tape does, but can you clean the hudz well?
thanks
thanks

White hudz? What the hell are hudz?
You can spell "predominately" but not "hoods?"

Interesting. I wasn't aware of the brand, my apologies to the OP.

I bought the white Hudz. My opinion is that while they fit fairly well, they aren't as nice as original Campy hoods. The material is softer and the seams are more pronounced. They appear to be fairly easy to clean but I have this "feeling" they wouldn't last through more than one install and a couple adjustments before they would tear. In other words, handle with extreme care. In the end, I chose not to use mine.

I've got yellow Hudz and bar tape. I'll echo Rad's sentiments about not being OEM quality, but still serviceable. As to cleanliness, I've not spent a lot of time on it, but getting back to fresh out of the bag clean seems unlikely within minutes of install. I wouldn't buy them again.
