Metolius cams: are they good? 28-Aug-2008 At 7:04:49 PM gonzo

yep they're pretty ace in the smaller sizes (up to #4), i owned #5-7 for a bit but sold them and can't really remember. My rack is metolius #1-#4 (some doubles and TCU in the #1 & #2) and BD C4 #0.75-#4

In the smaller sizes they rock as the heads are quite narrow, epecially the TCUs, though you do sacrifice a small amount of stability (they'll walk a tad easier). I got mine quite a while ago and the springs are pretty stiff (which is great as it helps prevent walking). Hopefully they still make them with nice stiff springs. I'm not a fan of the C4's < #0.5, but i'll highly recommend them otherwise especially with the lighter weight and thumbloop (which in my opinion has made them that much more easier to place - they feel like you can get more reach).

Also heard good things about BD C3's (fit pin scars real well). Either way, you cant go wrong with the C3's or Metolius in the smaller sizes and BD C4's in larger sizes.
