Thank you (most of anyway) for the advice... There were definately some helpful tips in there, love the shorter inflator. It turned out that the major issue I was having with inflator routing was because at the factory they overtightened the elbows for shipping, so when I tryed to loosen them and make angle adjustments I was unscrewing the base plate on the bladder. Got it straigtened out, made some adjustments, need a lot more time with it in the water to keep fine tuning, but for now, she rides like a cadillac! I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to tech diving, ask 20 people and you will get 20 different answers, so I'm just going to keep doing what works for me. Once again, those who helped me out, ie the bike tubes, thank you! Dive safe gentlemen!
