Review on 🚴 Enhance Your Cycling Experience with SHIMANO BL-1055 Aero Hood Covers (Road) by Christopher Scales

Exage Motion Replacement

This is a good replacement for my Exage Motion brake caps. They don't have a little rubber button that connects to the brake (to hold the hood more securely I think) but the fit is pretty good. The surface is a little sticky but not as bad as the old ones on my 1990 Raleigh Technium. After installing the hoods, I found that by pulling a little more on the lower part that touches the bar tape, the clearance between the brake lever assembly and the new hood became smaller (counterintuitive, I know). I took a star. switched off because the rubber surface does not feel like new.

Pros
  • Durable Finish
Cons
  • Weight
