Cateye double wireless remote buttons
For anyone that has or had the cateye double wireless (either version), has anyone tried the remote buttons? I thought that they looked cool and the instructions indicated that they should be able to go in the brake hoods in place of the flightdeck buttons. I ordered them through my LBS but they were not able to install them without it looking like some kind of monstrosity. I bought them anyway (the LBS said I didn't have to) and figured I will experiment for a while. Is there some trick to installing them properly? I have Tiagra shifters on a Specialized Allez Sport if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
Steve

Well I played with it myself and was able to get the buttons in there and working; I just had to completely disregard the instructions...
I took the plastic thing out that's directly under the rubber bump on the hood and put cateye's button there in its place without the little plastic piece that's supposed to go over it, as it doesn't allow the button to get into the correct position and makes it stick out too far. I still have to get the wires under the handlebar tape; that's the part I wanted the LBS to do.

Without that second paragraph you could fill in the blanks after reading the first...
