And by the way - I had a hell of a time getting the payment submitted. Either one of my banks would approve the transaction , even after I responded that it wasn't fraud..

Even my regular credit card wouldn't approve.

I had to use Google Pay for it to go through

Sheesh

And Color Black B is the 2 band clamp mounting system.

How do you like the band clamp version ?
I think the clamp version works well. I figured they were easier to get on vs the 4-bolt option. That's why I decided to go that direction.

What size diameter? I'm looking to get tips as well but I think I prefer it a little larger.

Looking at the available pictures they are showing now, they appear to be identical. At least the pictures that are available on a mobile device. But when I ordered mine, if I remember correctly there were differences such as the ones I ordered were a dry carbon fiber outer, with the black tube inside. And the others were the dry carbon fiber outer, with the steel, or regular metal colored inner tubing. And also another variation was the carbon fiber was shiny on some of them. So like I said they appear to be the same now. Maybe from a desktop you can see better pictures

Thanks. I’ll go with F which you bought - dry cf with black inserts.

I currently have the regular insets but they, a year on, are tarnishing and going gold. They do clean up but it’s extra work.

That's the nice thing about the black on black, is that you don't have to worry about polishing them or keeping them shiny.
