Brake hoods

Dare · May 30, 2015

Hello fellow retrobikers,

Can somebody help me find on ebay or maybe offer jim/herself a pair of white hoods for non-aero levers. I believe these are dia-compe but since I am not sure I would really appreciate if somebody could help me.

Here is the picture of the current hoods;

Are they perished and cracked or just dirty?

Have you tried scrubbing them clean?

Well they lost consistency on suface...they are sticky and meshy. Do you have any sugestions as with what to clean them?

This is what I managed to do with the hoods while I sm waiting for new ones to arrive.
White hoods and bartape really look cool but next time I am getting everything black since this is way too sensitive.
