OH, maybe someday. Sounds dreamy, but I am a westerner at heart. Choss and all.

Just think, sandstone that will hold anything you can put in it. SHADE TREES at the crag, LOL.
Seriously, you can call it the southern ballnut tour. Be warned though that once you visit the area you may not want to leave.

HEy tedc,
LOL, I looked at the green ero adn the number 4 ballnut yersterday, and damnital if you are not right about em being the same when the ball nut is fully retracted and the green zero is as over cammed as you can get it.
But I still would rather have the ball nut IF it is a choice between the two where both would fit the placement and stay.
I have found placements where the green zero out performed the ballmut though-- the ballnut would not stay in while hte gren zero would.
I do think that when the Zero is fully over cammed and the balllnyt is fully retracted, the Zero ahs a better chance to stay in there.
Don'tt know what I was thinking when I said the Green zero was not as small as the #3 ballnut. OOPS, sorry about that chief.

Ballnuts kinda stink if the carck is too parallell (i.e.) no constrictions. In that case the cam may by the only "clean" option.
I think that fully cammed is about the only way I'd trust that little green zero.

Mee too, on both. Luckily if a crack is too smooth and parallel for a ball nut, you can usually tell cause the ball nut will slide right back out when you try to set it hahaha.
I have a habit of inspecting the copper side of the ball when removing em to see just how well it bit in, do you do that?
