A friend getting back into riding has good working 6500 levers, but the hoods are shredded/gone. We currently have the levers wrapped in hockey tape.
I am well aware that finding original or proper replacement hoods is nearly impossible. Question is, will any other commonly available replacement hood work "good enough"? Poor fit, trimming required, etc is just fine if there is something out there that will basically just stay in place on the lever.
This is a budget op for sure so anything that costs more than a few dollars is going to lose to hockey tape.
Ideas?
