Frequently Asked Questions
Which SRAM levers do these hoods fit?
These hoods are designed for SRAM DoubleTap levers and specific legacy models listed in the variants—Red 2012, Red22, Force22 and Rival22. Verify your lever model year and style to ensure a correct match; if in doubt, check the lever casting or consult Forest Bikes support.
Are the hoods sold as a single or a pair?
They are sold as a pair, one left and one right hood—enough to replace both sides on a single bike.
How difficult is installation?
Installation is straightforward and can be done at home with minimal tools. Remove the old hoods, clean the lever bodies, and slide the new hoods into place, aligning the cutouts and bosses. A plastic tire lever or small flat tool can help seat the edges if needed.
What material are the hoods made from and how durable are they?
The hoods are molded from a thermo‑elastomer rubber compound that balances cushioning with durability. They resist oil, road grime and moderate UV exposure, but like all rubber parts they'll slowly harden and wear with years of use or after crash damage—replace when torn or noticeably hardened.
Can I use bar tape over these hoods or trim them to fit?
These hoods are intended to sit directly on the lever bodies with your bar tape installed on the bars behind them. Trimming is not recommended unless you are certain of the modification; cutting can affect fit and ergonomics. If color matching is a concern, choose the matching hood color when ordering.
Will color fade over time?
White and red hoods can show more staining and UV-related fading than black. Regular cleaning with mild soap and avoiding prolonged sunlight when stored will slow color change, but some discoloration over years is normal.
Buying Guide
When buying replacement brake hoods, first confirm your lever model and generation—SRAM DoubleTap levers and the Red/Force/Rival 22 series have specific hood shapes and cutouts. Choose the correct color if matching existing components or for a custom look; remember that lighter colors may show grime faster. Consider material and ergonomics: thermo‑elastomer rubber gives a good balance of comfort and durability, and textured grip zones improve control in variable weather. Keep a spare pair on hand if you ride often or race—it's an inexpensive way to ensure quick repairs and consistent cockpit feel.
