I'd like to start off by saying I am not going to point fingers or expect any help at this point in the game (but getting some help already has indeed been nice ). I did buy this kit 2.5 years ago, and opening up the box just last week is 100% my fault for not being proactive about it when the box and its contents were originally shipped to me back in early 2008.

I've read posts that show that Erick was an honest guy that ran a good company, and I fully believe that at the time had I complained, I would have gotten a full refund or the correct parts I had actually thought I ordered.

With that said, I am still reeling from the sting of what's actually occurred. I take full responsibility, but that surely doesn't lessen the sting of basically losing $700.

Final thought: At the time when I made the deal, I thought I was buying a 181 pulley kit and allowing Erick to swap out the 181 pulley for the customer returned 178.

I fully expected to get all new stuff and a barely used 178 LET pulley (as he promised), not all used stuff and a 168 EvoSport pulley that is possibly damaged.

That's just wrong.
