Shimano 600 brake levers with r600 hoods (?)

Posted on
  • They look like r600 hoods as they are slightly long, overhanging the lever blade just a tad. Only other choice is dia compe do some that fit in a similar way.

    I thankfully found a set of NOS 600EX hoods from poland, got a handful of used but not so bad ones but think they have all found homes now.
    R600 would prob have a bit more padding/comfort!

  • thanks for the ID.
    i have some mint condition 600EX hoods... but they're in brown. i'm bothered by non-matching items. so it's colour against product line.
    if i go with all black and sacrifice the matching hoods i'll let you know.

  • i messaged the guy and found out...
    [INDENT]"They're the stock Shimano non-aero hoods for the BL-6207 (600 series) levers from the mid-80s."[/INDENT]
    annoying.
