One unfortunate part of riding is crashing. We're not talking so much about the rare 30mph mid-crit demolition derby. We're talking about crashing of the slightly more common variety: The fouled-up track stand at the red light where the physical damage to you is zero, but the damage to your bike is oh-so-real. Your bar tape gets chewed up, your derailleur hanger gets bent, and your rubber brake hoods get scraped to bits.

Thankfully, Campy offers spare Ergopower rubber brake hoods, so you can make your levers look like new after making a spectacle of yourself at the intersection. These hoods come as a pair (one left and one right), and they are identical to what the Campy factory installs on new levers. They are 10-speed compatible with Record and Chorus levers vintage 1998-2008, and with any other model Campy Ergopower from 1999-2008. These will not work with 11-speed Campy.

The actual weight of the Campagnolo Ergopower Lever Hood Pair is 42g.
