trying to find an obscure former riv product

[Davey Two Shoes]

Does anyone remember those "false" hoods Riv used to sell? I think it was Riv at least. Anyway I'm looking for a similar solution but cant find anything. Solutions??

THanks!

[Mike Packard]

If I remember correctly those aren't correct. Are you talking about the road brake levers but without the levers?

[Johnny Alien]

Like in these illustrations?

I've made left-hand hoods/grips for single-caliper, right-hand-only-lever fixed gears simply be removing the lever proper from the brake lever body. I've even filed/Dremeled down the lever, proper attachment projection but often I've just removed the lever, proper, and left the attachment point. Since used caliper brake levers are easy to find and cheap to buy, this might be a solution.

You can see the leftside leverless lever in this bad photo from 2015 with matching Banzer bag and Keos.

When thou didst not, savage, know thine own meaning,

But wouldst gabble like a thing most brutish,

I endowed thy purposes with words that made them known.

And I have a pair as well. NOS.

My understanding is that these fake levers/hoods were spec'ed on Bridgestone XO-1s.

Thanks

I approve of this photo...because the hooks are correctly parallel to the top tube, rather than the misguided standard of having them parallel to the ground.  The hooks are to be parallel to the ground ONLY incidentally, when the top tube is level.  Aesthetic truth and correctness demands this.  APPROVE.

Well, "to err is human." My sole aim, goal, purpose, and motivation in life is to have the bottoms of the hooks perfectly parallel to the ground. I may* have failed and, for that, I am profoundly embarrassed.

*The bar angle may be distorted by my always semi-incompetent photography. Or perhaps not, and perhaps just a wee bit of downward angle is what I really like. Who knows what one really likes?

At any rate, that bar is supremely comfortable, and I've been thinking that hooks on the very same bar on the geometrically cloned 2020 Matthews needs to be rotated down a wee bit.

Patrick Moore, surprised and at once somewhat flattered and alarmed that Bill notices these things, in ABQ, mud 'n' snow NM.
