Hello.
A few years back dad replaced his Chinese wedge AXA post with this Dorian, which I am not a fan of to put it kindly. The issue is that the cam profile does not seem correct. Instead of giving a nice progressive tightening feel it just goes WHAM and stops. On the side mount there is probably less than one degree of rotation between loose and fully locked. The front is maybe 5 degrees and feels considerably better but still mega sucky. I'd expect at least about 20 degrees with the posts I'm used to. The cam seems to be far to steep in the location where it locks.
Moving the lever with no block mounted I can see where in the cam profile it gets much more gradual then starts going back the other way. But the wedges would have to ground off by a tremendous amount to reach that point.
Is there an adjustment for this?
Was Dorian QC just drunk and the wedges are much too long?
Am I just a whiner and this is "how it's supposed to be"?
TIA.
