Quick suntour question
 

I recently purchased an 80's SR maxima road bike with suntour superbe components and was wondering if these hoods would work with those levers.

any help is appreciated. also any info on the bike would help me out a lot!

Yes, those should fit. I have a pair in black, though I haven't used them. There are more esthetic ones available, only they aren't being currently produced: AMe, Modolo (919 or 920) for instance. Do an eBay search on "hoods" in the bicycle area. Use talcum powder to get them on (others say dish soap or Windex, but I like dry).

thanks for the help! there's some modolo hoods on ebay right now that should work.

I was scoping that bike out...I have the exact same bike except I'm not full superbe gruppo. they are super light weight (21lbs) Best thing i did was to put bull horns w/ TT brakes on it, my back feels so much better since. If you swap out the rims let me know, I bent my front and can't go high pressue because the tube pops off.

I used the Dia Compe hoods on mine and they fitted fine.
