Listers.. Maybe if there was enough demand for CLB hoods Robbie.......or should that be 'Robbie Hood'....... could reproduce some CLB hoods.
Just got my repro Campag world logo and Universal hoods from Robbie, and have to agree with other satisfied listers on the quality and authenticity on them.

Tom,
I believe that you would be well advised to spend a bit of time perusing the CLB material which has been posted for public consumption at Velo-Pages:
http://www.velo-pages.com/
... and specifically, perhaps, this particular entry:
http://www.velo-pages.com/
In short, yes, there are/were several different iterations of late model CLB brake hoods, each one of which is/was specific to only select models of their brake levers.

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
