Title: Ridiculously stiff, uncomfortable
Review: I work as a full time bike mechanic and these are the stiffest brake hoods I've ever encountered for any bike. One of them even tore during installation even after being greased up and dismantling more of the brake lever than usual for these types of hoods. After getting them on they fit poorly, having a much boxier shape than is comfortable for any distance of riding, creating odd pressure points in your hands. Maybe they'll mold more to my grip in time, but at the moment I cannot give these more than two stars for being unreasonably stiff, easily tearable, and uncomfortable, with the only pro being that they're cheap.
