Outside of the fact that

DIE!

The cam is in as near perfect working condition as it gets. Wait till you actually use it to see real "bite" marks.

ITS MADE IN CHINA CRAP! IT'S MADE IN CHINA CRAP!

























PS, I'm just kidding. KIDDING! I'd climb, and pitch, on that all day long. I'm making fun of another Supertopo thread that went on too long when BD moved production of Camalots to China.

bite mark in one of the lobes

Yep, this turned out to be a tough love thread.

Either that, or like fighting with Mike Tyson.

Dip it in your chalk bag for added grip before using. You'll be fine.

After close inspection of that images I am wondering why no one is talking about the micro cracks I see developing. The bite is no big deal, but those micro cracks are for real.

I say the only way to tell is to plug it in and take a real whipper on it.

Then see if you can still see that 'bite mark' over the ones gained from real use.
