I was very surprised they dont have the Tektro RL520 hood shape.
They are the R200 levers. Not sure how i hadnt realized that as i looked at them obsessively online for months.
I just took a look at mine and they do have the rl520 shape, I did order 9 speed long throw ones so that perhaps was the difference?
Having been really happy with the fatter hoods of shimano sti, specifically 6 year old tiagra ones, I do find these kind of narrow, but will really only know how they are riding with them when I actually do the switchover. The bike presently has butterfly bars on it, and I have been planning to do other stuff to the frame, so this explains putting off the project. Holidays and work also have played a part and I am riding other bikes, so its been put on the back burner for now.
I'll start up a Gevenalle thread once I have them on and get some riding with them.
