Product Information
Full details
This guide is for cyclists with Campagnolo mechanical groupsets from the 2000-2009 era who need to replace worn or damaged lever hoods. The key benefit is restoring the original feel and grip of your Campagnolo shifters with genuine replacement parts. A caveat is that these hoods are specific to certain model years and groupset speeds, so compatibility must be confirmed. These are genuine Campagnolo lever hoods, part code EC-RE600, designed for Record, Chorus, Centaur, Veloce, Xenon, and Mirage levers. They are suitable for 9/10 Speed mechanical groupsets and fit levers manufactured between 2000-2006, and specifically Record/Chorus levers from 2006-2008. They come as a pair and are black.

FAQs
Are these hoods compatible with Campagnolo 11-speed groupsets?
No, the EC-RE600 hoods are specifically designed for 9 and 10-speed mechanical Campagnolo groupsets and are not compatible with 11-speed or electronic systems.
What year Campagnolo levers do these hoods fit?
These hoods fit Campagnolo levers made between 2000 and 2006, and also Record/Chorus levers made between 2006 and 2008.
Do I need special tools to install these hoods?
Basic bicycle tools are usually sufficient. A Phillips head screwdriver or Allen key might be needed to adjust the lever position, and some users find a plastic tire lever helpful for carefully prying the old hoods off. A small amount of lubricant like diluted soapy water can aid installation.
Can I use these hoods on non-Campagnolo shifters?
No, these are genuine Campagnolo replacement hoods and are designed to fit specific Campagnolo lever bodies only. They will not fit shifters from other brands.
How should I clean and care for these hoods?
Clean the hoods regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the rubber material and shorten their lifespan.
Are these hoods available in colors other than black?
The EC-RE600 model is specified as BLACK. Other colors may not be available for this specific part number.
What does 'genuine part' mean in this context?
It means the product is manufactured by Campagnolo or under their direct supervision, ensuring it meets their quality standards and is designed to fit their specified components precisely.
Troubleshooting
Hoods do not fit correctly
Double-check compatibility against the specified model years and groupset speed. Ensure no old debris is obstructing the fit and that the correct hood (left/right) is being applied.
Difficulty sliding hoods onto levers
A small amount of diluted soapy water or isopropyl alcohol on the inside of the hood can act as a lubricant. Ensure the lever body is clean and dry before attempting installation.
Hoods feel too loose after installation
Allow sufficient drying time if a lubricant was used. Ensure the hoods are fully seated and that the internal clamp mechanism (if applicable) has engaged correctly. Over time, slight swelling may occur after initial installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check:
Before purchasing, verify that your Campagnolo shifters are from the 2000-2006 model years, or specifically Record/Chorus models from 2006-2008, and are designed for 9 or 10-speed mechanical groupsets.
Installation:
Installation typically involves carefully removing the old, worn hoods and sliding the new ones into place. This can be done with basic bicycle tools. Sometimes, a light application of soapy water or isopropyl alcohol can help the new hoods slide on more easily, but ensure it dries completely. Allow hoods to set fully before use.
Care:
To maintain the hoods, regularly clean them with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the rubber material. Inspect hoods periodically for signs of wear or damage to ensure optimal grip and performance.
