[RBW] VO Touring Hub vs XT?

No worries, makes sense about the hinge. Your comment brings up the good question of how often I would really swap out the cockpits... and how much energy really needs to be put into it. I think the DaVinci splitters are the way to go if you want 'plug and play', with an added cost of ~$20/se
