Spiderjack dyneema kit issues

I had similar problem then realsied i used tapered screw instead of stepped (whoops) im gonna use some locktite to be sure. How long do the cams last mine is not even a year old and starting to slip?

 

Not sure Ben, I am relatively new to the SJ as well and have not needed to replace any parts as yet. I think it really depends how much you use it and how hard you use it as well. Some people tend to get up to 6 months use before wearing the cam and some a year and more. I am just around the 6 months mark now and it's fine but I don't use it every day and I tend to be gentle with it too.

When your decending, are you using the wooden block and not just the cam, becuse the block takes alot of the weight of the cam, reduceing wear.....

Very good point Kane...when descending,(Slow or fast) pull the trigger whilst applying the brake and use the brake to control speed and height and when you stop release the trigger...no bounce...no dramas! longer Cam life.
