David, is your adapter ring flat and require bending in all sorts of directions before fitting? My SX one was, and I have to say its not the easiest thing to manipulate without making a pigs ear and completely wrecking the ring. I would have thought this would be ready to fit and can see this causing a real problems for a lot of people

At all. I was very pleased with the fitment and even more pleased with the result

the one i have is for my Jet, and was easy to bend
a friend of mine has one for his sx and said it's a bit flimsy... i'll find out soon as i've ordered one for the pacemaker....

Looking at the pictures online, it does look like the SX type needs more bending and is more flimsy too leading to more difficulty, the Jet and Li look quite easy to do.

I'm reasonably handy with tools and this did present some problems, you can see the ring distorted, but I managed to fit it in the end and it seems a great idea.
BTW, this is a Winter Model rim, but this is irrelevant really as the difference is minor, apart from the fact it will also fit.
