RS-685s on the “nice” bike – had the sloppy hood Issue to begin with (had them about 2 years or so now?) but replaced the hoods with another pair from SJS and problem seems cured, so hopefully later production hoods were “tighter” and no one should have that issue anymore.
RS-505s on the Gravel bike. Better hood design IMO, but only looks a mother could love……easier bleed port location which prevents need to disturb hoods as much (which was what made my 685s go sloppy) and easier cable replacement too.
They seem much longer than the 685 hoods, so much so I went to a 10mm shorter stem! Some people complain that the hose entry point hurts their hands, but mine have been fine – YMMV though.
