Cross Dressing Brake Lever Hoods

[travis.harry@gmail.com]

Hoods for Cane Creek SCR 5 fit Tektro R100. (No kidding.)

What else will these fit?

And more generally is there a cross-compatibility someone has
published for other brake lever hoods and levers?

Same as R200 as well. About $10 for some Cane Creek hoods. Curious as
to whether it's the same body shape for the new long pull linear
compatible Tektro RL520:

I tried them on some Campy Ergos after cutting a slot for a thumb
lever (I wanted gum hoods). Not even close, despite how similar they
look, and even with extensive trimming of the internal ridges and
guides.

What the heck, it was worth $10 just to find out...

Hardly surprising as they are the same lever. What Cane Creek sell is the
Tektro lever with their own hoods.
