  1. Hi,

    I have several sets of 1997 style Campagnolo Ergo levers
    on my bikes. After about one year of use the brake hoods
    no longer hold there position and start to creep forward.
    I have them properly seated with the tabs in the holes on
    the lever.

    Is there a way to keep these hoods (EC- RE500) in place?

    Thanks,

    Glue them with some silicone rubber ?? Silicone is great
    stuff, it contains a mild acid (acetic acid, like
    concentrade vinegar) that will etch the calipers
    imperceptibly and should cause the hoods to "stick" to the
    calipers tightly.
