FAQs
What is TripleGrip?
TripleGrip refers to the unique design of the cam lobes, which provides increased contact area and bite points for enhanced holding power.
What kind of rock types are these cams best suited for?
The DMM Dragon Cam Size 1 works well in a variety of rock types, particularly where there are pockets and irregular cracks. The TripleGrip lobes help enhance the grip in less-than-perfect placements.
How do I clean my Dragon Cam?
Use a brush to remove any dirt or debris from the cam lobes and stem. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
What is the benefit of the single stem, dual axle design?
This design provides 360-degree flexibility and a substantial expansion range, allowing the cam to adapt to varied crack widths and shapes.
How often should I inspect my cam?
Inspect your cam before each use for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace the cam if any issues are found.
What is the benefit of the hot-forged thumb press?
The hot-forged thumb press provides stable handling and reduces fumbling, especially when wearing gloves or with tired fingers.
Troubleshooting
Cam lobes not gripping securely.
Re-evaluate the placement. Ensure the lobes are in full contact with the rock and the crack is suitable for the cam size.
Cam walking or shifting under load.
Check the crack for irregularities and adjust the placement. Consider using a sling to reduce the angle of pull.
