How do you guys find the quality of the banjo wheels from cip? are they good or they crack easy?

The four Banjos I've bought from CIP were all Flat Four. They are a bit flimsy although not a problem as long as you don't use the wheel as a grab handle for getting in and out of the car.

I installed one in the ex Buddy Hale 55, it fit well. The most important point is the distance to the signal switch, check out the photo of D's 55.

I had to trim the cam thingie to get my self cancelers to work correctly. Other than that, I really like the wheel.
