  1. Pair of drop handlebar brake levers with decent hoods. Mechanical condition does not matter.

    I have just restored the bike that sits on my turbo trainer and want to replace the horrible white
    sticky rubber hood covers. I've realised that it's virtually impossible to get the model I need now.

    I don't run any cables from the brakes, in fact I have no brakes fitted...I'm not exactly going
    anywhere :-)

    If anyone has any old levers with decent hoods that they want to get ride of please let me know. A
    reply via the group would be preferred because my 'Newsgroup' email address gets so overloaded with
    spam I don't tend to want to check it on a regular basis.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have handlebars with attached brake levers & decent hoods. I can't ride now and boyfriend, who has
    adopted my bikes, prefers to use flat bars.

    Please send me an email.

    I have some old non-aero Weinman ones that have hard plastic hoods. Yours for £2.74 including P&P if
    HDVs are no use. Any one else want them ?

    You can buy new hoods for a lot of levers.

    But they are not readily available for my ancient levers..trust me I've asked around..LBS, Parkers,
    Wiggle, Dyason, Settle....fade to end.

    Anyway, Helen has kindly come up with the goods for which I am eternally grateful. Thanks for the
    offer too 'M Series'.

    No problem. BTW £2.74 was the cost of their replacements, from another URC-er
