Just got done installing Cane Creek 144.7 on DC 160C levers. Soaked them in hot water, slid them on from the back side of the levers. Had to resoak them to thread in the barrel adjusters. If there is a next time, I will check the hoods to see if there is any mold flashing in the area around the adjusters, as one is functioning fine, the other is sticking. But as I doubt I will ever use this feature.,
