hudz review, March 5, 2011
This review is from: Hudz Enhancement Road Bicycle Brake Hoods - Pair - Campagnolo G2 (Misc.)
i replaced my standard ultegra hoods with some hudz to add some color to my bike and have been riding them for six months now.
installing them was easy but not recommended to riders without technical skills as it involves completely removing the cables, housing, brake levers and the original hoods. removing the original hoods requires some leveraging the rubber over the tight fitting lever assembly and installing the hoods the same way. this is a little tricky but nothing complicated. the hudz fit fairly well although there is some overhanging on the levers and so i can say the hudz do not fit perfectly. this is a cosmetic issue only and does not affect the function of the levers. it is the reason i leave one star unchecked for this product but aside from this imperfection the hudz are an upgrade to the original shimano hood.
i like the color and the extra rubber beneath the lever has ridges for finger grip which feel natural and better than the original shimano hoods did. this is the functional improvement which i credit hudz for achieving.
im happy with them and would recommend them although theyre not a necessity and should probably be thought of as one of the finishing touches on customization of ones bicycle.
