## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this for 1 or 2 hoods**
A: 2 hoods

**Q: Does each order include 2 hoods?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is the pricing for one hood cover, or a pair?**
A: I bought these hoods last year and it was a pair.

**Q: Will these fit the SLR BL-1051 levers?**

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compatible with original Shimano 105 brake levers BL-1051
*by V***D on September 15, 2013*

I had a hard time finding brake hoods that are compatible with my original Shimano 105 brake levers, model BL-1051. These classics are old but good, but being old, there isn't a lot of information about compatible replacement brake hoods. I decided to try these hoods, having read a comment somewhere on the internet that the BL-1055 hoods will work on BL-1051 levers.I'm happy to report that on my bike, the BL-1055 hoods do indeed work acceptably with the BL-1051 levers. I uploaded two photos in the customer images gallery so you can have a look. While they don't fit perfectly (compared to the original hoods), they are close enough. As you can see from the images, the fit around the top part of the lever is not perfectly flush, but it's good enough. Plus, the hoods are a bit too "tall" for the pointy top of the lever, so you can push the top down a bit. But those light imperfections don't affect the grip or the ride. When you're riding, where you actually put your hands, the hoods do fit snugly, they are stable and don't twist around. In other words, they do what they do and they work fine.I hope this bit of information is helpful to the handful of us still using these quarter-century old brakes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works like it should and then some, good shimano quality.
*by P***E on February 27, 2012*

These are nice hoods, and best of all fit on the vintage Shimano 600 levers on my Trek without too much fuss. They looked very similar, and the levers that are listed to fit are very close to my 600's. I was willing to take a chance versus hunting down new-old-stock hoods on the internet and paying $50 for a 25 year old piece of rubber. A few drops of light oil on a few areas helped these slide over my levers easily. There is some void space in the top forward pointy corner (sorry I don't know that particular jargon) of the hoods when installed on my bike but the fit is still decent. I've seen brake hoods exclusive to certain brake levers that fit worse. For $8, these Shimano hoods look and feel good on my bike, and were a huge improvement over the old, deteriorating (and possibly original) hoods on my bike.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good fit for my vintage bike!
*by B***I on April 2, 2024*

I don’t know if this will come in handy for anyone but if you have a vintage bike with dura- ace BL-7400 brake levers and you don’t want to pay two bills for vintage brake hoods, you CAN buy these and clip the tops off so your brake cables can go through. It’s not a perfect fit, but it’s comfy and way better than my old crumbling set.
