I just got my z1 and z2s in the mail today, and decided to thumb through the information sheet. To my surprise I found technical data on offset Zero cams!
Here's what they've got typed:
size expansion range (mm)
ZO2: 5.5-9.8
ZO3: 7.0-12.2
ZO4: 8.5-16.0
ZO5: 10.3-19.0
ZO6: 13.0-24.0

I think these would be great to replace the CCH Alien offsets, which are impossible to find(at least where I live).
Wild Country's website offers no information...
Anyone know when they are supposed to be on the market?

I just spoke with a rep. and he said that Wild Country had considered doing an offset. They even made a few prototypes, but decided against it...Anyways, they had several thousand product information sheets they didn't want to throw away, so here they are getting my hopes up...

Why do you need offset cams? It'd be easier to buy a BIG stick and use that to clip the next anchor bolts, eh? Or maybe, offset nuts? Or ballnuts? Or just balls?

How specialized can gear get? If we pay enough will somebody come and put 'em in the rock for us?

Jeesh. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something?
