Hey I'm fixing up an old bike and I am putting some aero levers on there. My question is that I am trying to decide between 2 I have and I'm not sure which to use since this will be my main bike. Currently I'm riding with a pair of old Dura Ace Bl-7402 levers. These are great but when I bought them I think the previous owner had put a mismatched hood on them and they don't fit on perfectly. That is my main gripe with these. The other choice is a Shimano SLR BL-L331 lever that I just got a few days ago. I haven't been able to ride these out yet but they feel great and are in pretty good condition. The one I don't use will be put on a bike I am about to sell in a week or so, and I don't want to part with the wrong pair! I've attached pictures of both. My questions is:
1. Are Dura Ace really a lot better than regular Shimano?
2. Would I be able to find hoods for the Dura Ace levers?
3. Which one would give me the best function in the long run. I want to put these on and never change them hopefully.
Thanks everyone! I'm a first time user so hope I'm not doing anything wrong!
