Review on 🚴 Enhance Your Cycling Experience with SHIMANO STI Lever Hoods Black, Ultegra ST-6800, Pair by Mario Madden

These are genuine Shimano hoods as described. The application process was quite easy. As a tip to make it easier to put on without stretching, I would suggest pouring some hand sanitizer down the grips before pulling them over the levers. This allows the gum to slide over the handles more easily, as well as evaporate after completion. After about a day they contract a little. As with most pairs I've tried, there's always some room left on the sides of the hoods once installed, but nothing major. Generally a quick exchange in 5 minutes maximum.
