with the wheel removed i spent 2 days taping and retaping and measuring and talking with chris i made the irreversible cut in a 500$ wheel. went without a hitch thanks to chris's ideas and help. so finally i have paddle shifters installed and even if they didnt work at all they are cool enough to look at to make it worth all the effort!!! the fact they are fully funtional is iceing on the cake! thanx chris for all the help and your genius ideas keep them coming!
finally dont let my cautiousness dissuade you from getting this. chris was there at every fone call (his g/f hates when i call during dinner!!) and he always had an answer to my questions

Don't worry Steve, my girlfriend isn't mad. When I explained to her that it took you more than a month to install a kit that most Crossfire owners could get done in part of a weekend she knew what I meant when I told her you were special (as in special Olympics : )

All kidding aside, in your defense, the instructions were written for crossfire installations and did leave a couple of gray areas for you ... glad we were able to work through it together and complete your "original equipment looking" Paddle Shifter install.

Chris
