I broke a trigger wire on my #0 C3. Does any one know of a way to fix it? Will BD fix it if I send it to them?

Thanks!

Will,

I ran into this problem about a year ago and hopefully it has changed.

I contacted BD and they told me it wasn't repairable. However, if it was a defect it would be covered by warranty. Hence I haven't brought any more c3's.

In my case the piece was used on a aid climb, weighted a few times, but not bounce tested agressively since it was used in sandstone.

Shoot BD an email.

Good luck.

John

There is a guy up in fort collins that has an add on craigslist posting about his service to fix cam wires. 10 bucks a cam i think he said. I found it on boulder.craiglist under 'for sale', keyword 'climbing'

  • I have not spoken with this guy, or have any idea about the quality of his work. But its an option for you to look into.

Ditto what John said. Go to the hardware store!

I recently broke a trigger wire on a purple C3 - #00 - and contacted Black Diamond. After about a month, they called me back asking for my shipping address and sent me 4 replacement trigger wires for the C3. I put it on and it fit perfectly. I'd suggest calling Black Diamond and ask for replacement trigger wires for the C3. Surely they'd send them to you. Best of luck.
