Don't know of any torque spec but you can gauge how much to use by seeing how much force it took to loosen it. Never had any problem.

Yup, seriously....there is a video on youtube with step by step instructions on how to swap out your wheel. Don't waste your money paying someone to do this. It literally took me a half hour to do it...and that was just taking my time and doing it right.

Just email the seller directly, email listed in my original post in page 1, and he will quote you. Options like stitch color, color ring at the 12 o'clock like mine, button covers, and paddle shifters.
Can someone PM me the email address, I don't see it in the first post of this thread

Ok so the mystery regarding the paddle shifters continues!

I swapped out the carbon shifters on OEM electronics for OEM shifters on the carbon electronics.

Took it for a test drive, and got no response from either paddle.

Went home, took it all apart again and fitted the OEM shifters to the OEM electronics.

Re-fitted everything, and went for another drive.

No response from the paddles!

There has to be something I am missing with the inner workings of the electronic part of the paddles. Looks like there is a copper connection inside that the plastic tips of each paddle needs to slot into. I'll have to try playing around with it a bit more when I get some spare time I guess.

Must say I am getting bored of having to keep taking it all apart!

Wow sorry to hear about this, it must be tiring for sure to take them apart so many times.

Sounds like something is not connected properly. Hope I don't have that problem.

Sorry to hear... This is the main reason I didn't want to swap the electronics from the OEM over to the CF paddles. My OEM paddles work for sure, and for whatever the reason may be, my CF ones do not.
