Generic Brake Lever Hoods f/non aero, Brown /Pair
Generic Brake Lever Hoods f/non aero, Brown /Pair
List Price: $17.95
Our Price: $16.15 USD
You Save: $1.80 (10%)

Item #EA-BHNRG: The original Campy Super/Nuovo Record (approximately 1965 - 1986) brake lever hoods are no longer available, but this copy makes a good substitute. "Non aero" means that there is a hole in the top for the brake cable to pass through. These also fit Campy Gran Sport, Modolo, Suntour Superbe, and Dia Compe New Gran Compe and Royal Gran Compe non aero brake levers.

I had tried them on a pair of Campy levers once and was disappointed with both the fit and the look. I may have expected too much from them. I took some pictures, I'll see if I can find them.

This isn't a great pictures, but I am happy with mine. They aren't perfect, but they are a lot cheaper than NOS Campy hoods.

Maybe these from Velo Orange are better?

I didn't think Dia Compe hoods would fit NGC levers, I hope I'm wrong, half the price would be great.

The ones at Loose Screws are the Euro-Asia import hoods. I have used several pair of them, the mold seam is annoying but the price is definitely right.
