Hoods Comfort
Customers highly praise the comfort of the hoods on these Shimano BL-R400 Road Drop Brake Levers, with many noting their preference for the compact size and aero design that allows for greater hand comfort during long rides. Some customers have suggested that larger hoods would be even more desirable, while others appreciate the classic fit and finish of these levers.
Highlights
Quality
Great fitment and quality cant go wrong
These are great, comfortable riding in hoods, compact aero design, good braking response and easy install.
Great product that's been made for years; nice to have a decent, new option rather than scouring the ebay for someone's spendy used garbage
What i'd like a lot is if someone made brake-only levers with great big "brifter" hoods like modern bikes have.

You will need some additional tools of your own like a wire cutter

It would be perfect if it came in all black though

They feel very solid and have very little play in them thanks to the return springs
