But we digress...
Has anyone tried HF-1 with Zeta Bowl C-Pads?

If you've purchased C-pads for your SR-225 they will not fit your HF-1's. You'll have to buy a new set. Likewise, if you step up from the SR series fitted with C-pads to a RS-1, it's time to give Larry your credit card number again. |

I can see why you wouldn't want to use your snap ons on your RS-1, but I don't see why you couldn't use your RS-1 pads on your Sr-225 etc |
