Chris,

"The bad half is the sliding linkage that couples the F#/C# key with the F/C key. There's no adjustment on it and the adjustment is made by doing some bending, plus fitting the linkage on the F/C key with a low friction material so it slides smoothly. Good idea, but usually bad in practice."

What do you bend? After about 45 minutes of messing with corks, contact cement and sand paper, I got my Bb back into reasonable adjustment after noticing it was clattering and requiring too much pressure, but of course cork can compress over time. Still, a lot of the downside of the crow's foot is that it encourages quick adjustment by bending keys.
