Dear List:

I've got a latish set of CLB Profesionel sidepull brakes with levers.  The hoods on the levers are rather thoroughly rotted through.  Looking at the levers, they seem very close in outline to Weinmann levers.  And there are some CLB brake hoods floating around ebay.

The questions:

Does anyone know whether there are more than one type of CLB brake hood?  Or will any CLB hood fit any CLB lever?

Will weinmann hoods fit CLB lever bodies satisfactorily?

Thanks
