These hoods were a perfect fit for the old Weinmann non-aero levers on my bike. They are from an old Schwinn Spring, but in use on a dirt-drop MTB. They are actually the “safety lever” style, but I chopped the pivot flush at the housing and removed the safety levers, to give more braking action, so yes, they will fit that type of lever, if you chop the pivot and file it flush. The hoods are easy to install: just remove the cable, imbed the housing stops in the hood tops where they go, and rub isopropyl alcohol on the inside of the hood, and on the lever housing if you like. They slip on without difficulty or damage. The hoods themselves look nice and are of a rubber that has a decent feel, not sticky or hard. Also, they cover all surfaces of the lever housing without being so much in the way as to add much resistance to using the lever to brake, though they will be stretched slightly by the bottom of the lever as it travels down. Overall, a great way to update these old levers and make them more comfortable.Read full review

Great feel, A bit of a dated look, but fit great for older bikes. The obnly trick was getting the brake cable end stopper in a good place. I ended up placing that under the boot but it took some twisting and bending. They feel and work great once on.

Bought to replace dried out hoods on dura ace 7400. Actually fit, work, and look good. Did not have to trim them at all,

I put these hoods on some mystery vintage brake levers and they are a perfect fit. Very cushy but still add grip, can't expect anything but for these to work.
