Review on πŸ› οΈ Enhance Control and Comfort with SRAM Brake Lever Hoods (No Tape Needed!) by Michael Schwegman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Close but not exact

1st order arrived very quickly. The product came on the brake/switch with no problems. I left the old handle for comparison. The new handle is slightly smaller. So he left some sections of tape exposed where the tape had a short piece to hide the brake clip. I'm picky and wanted the new one to fit just like the old one because it was made by the manufacturer. The new hood is a little smaller and you can feel the difference under the brake lever where your finger presses the underside of the brake. I would buy again. Maybe a lot. Otherwise the quality is good and when I turn the steering wheel back I will try to have the mechanic put an extra band under the brake to close the gap between the hood and the band. It just doesn't sit flush with the original. I've tried to show what I'm talking about with photos.
