New around here so my newsreader only downloaded the last 50 messages, which is a round about way of saying if this question has been answered a million times before, take it easy on me.
I have Campag Athena ergopower brake/shifters. The rubber hoods have perrished so I removed them, they fell apart during the process. Question: can new hoods be fitted without removing the entire brake lever assembly, even though they were knackered, the old ones took a lot of effort to get off. a new pair is £17 I dont want to attempt to get them on incorrectly and rip/overstretch them.

I'm going to top-post this messsage. And I really hate to have to scroll though 100 lines of repeated text to get to the new lines at the bottom. I installed new 105 shifter hoods just once. I did it with the shifters off the bars. These hoods were really tough. There was no danger of tearing them, even though I pulled the hell out of the rubber.

It's about a 5-10 minute job to stretch them over the brakes, while they're on the bike. I've done several, never had a problem.

Come on now... the best and worst thing about the internet is that it gives one courage to act in a way that they would never contemplate face to face. The example you just set out above is an example of the worst thing.

PS. Should I also be expecting a "[censored] you too" as well? or just a "yes"?

If you think I won't stand up to the wilfully obnoxious IRL then you don't know me at all. Why don't you use your energy more efficiently and worry about the moron to whom I responded? I bet he's so stupid he thinks he's the first to ever come up with that.

You didn't go out of your way to be an [censored]. He did.

Point taken, though I confess I had to look up the meaning of IRL. My point is that the guy broke netiquette but gave a (poor) reason. Your response was concise, but not very persuasive. I'm happy for you to argue the toss and stand up for things that are important to you, but IRL you probably wouldn't settle a dispute that way (I hope).
That's it, I'm getting of my high horse... it's too far to fall if you get pushed.
