Brian Smith said:I've got new R600 levers with single button hoods, but an older SM-6500
bracket/sensor kit, made for the two-button right hood. What is
recommended: shall I get a new bracket/sensor kit for single-button hoods,
or shall I instead try to fit a two-button hood on the R600 lever?
Neither. Just install it and ride.
The "buttons" in the hoods are not functional, they just serve as a
tactile indicator of where the actual buttons are.
Before I switched to Campagnolo, my Hetchins had 105 brifters with the
both-buttons-on-the-right rubber hoods, but with the
one-button-on-each-side hardware, worked just fine.
