Need Campy Brake Hoods?
I stumbled on this UK site and thought I’d post this link. When I needed them, the only resource was Velo Orange. You might now have a choice.

I have them on one of my bikes and they're not bad. They have a phony world logo on one side and a phony shield logo on the other so they're not going to hold up to any sort of knowledgeable inspection, but they look better at a distance than Rustines.

Shipping to WA is €14 for a $31 tot.
I'll stick with the $22 Rustines made with real gum.

Someone order a set and review, please.
How about a UK or EU reader, given faster delivery.

I have the “Rustines” as mentioned in the previous post. I too prefer the gum rubber. Though my ‘77 Colnago is 5 years into the barn find refurb and since kept inside my home, the Rustines have weathered well and endured the evening summer rides.

Had a set of OEM Campy hoods for the NR levers, but needed a set for the Suntour Superbe levers so I picked up some Rustines from the LBS. They feel great, and fit well. Not perfect with the Superbe, but well enough that I like them. When the Campy hoods bite the dust it will be Rustines that replace them, if I live that long!

i've used Rustines a couple of times and like 'em.
The hoods on a mid-80's DeRosa with C-Record are not gum and may need replacing, thus the request for a review of newer plastic, original moulds.
these Rustines for Universal levers

Merry Sales has them in the US for $18. Don't know about shipping from them, but it can't be terrible.
Don't know how they'll last - I only put them on a couple months ago and haven't put enough miles on the bike to see how they'll do. Ask me again in the fall .
