Verify that you have the correct model (Campagnolo Record 12-speed Ergopower) and that the shifter body is clean and free of debris. Ensure you are attempting to install them in the correct orientation.
Gently warming the hoods with a hairdryer on a low setting can make them more pliable and easier to stretch over the shifter body. Ensure no tools are used to force the hood, which could cause damage.
Ensure the hoods are clean and dry. Check that no grease or lubricant was inadvertently applied to the gripping surfaces during installation.
Compatibility: These hoods are specifically designed for Campagnolo Record 12-speed Ergopower levers. Ensure your shifters match this specification before purchasing. Using them with other lever models may result in improper fit and function.
Setup: Installation typically involves carefully removing the old hoods and fitting the new ones. This process often requires patience and the use of appropriate tools to avoid damaging the shifter body or the new hoods. It's recommended to consult a professional mechanic or a detailed online tutorial for your specific Campagnolo model if you are not experienced with shifter maintenance.
Care: To maintain the condition and grip of the hoods, clean them regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can degrade the natural silicon material. Periodically check the hoods for any signs of wear or damage, especially after a crash or heavy use.
