Chipped cam lobe - fix, toss, or whip?

Whelp, I chipped an edge of a sacred, out of print, green C3.

What’s your opinion? Interested in hearing a discussion about it-maybe it’s hapoened to you?

I haven’t contacted BD yet to see if they’d fix it but I don’t believe they will.

Seems to me that it’s probably still usable, but I’m not sure if the integrity of the rest of the lobe is compromised-would it shatter under an extreme load (ie. 20’ whipper).

Shoot the shit here (no I’m not going to send it to you).

"Whip"

Not a problem. Back on the rack with it.

“Now whip it! Whip it good! whip it real good!”

One of my red c3s looks worse than that and still holds falls lol.

Only place it center lobe to the right, otherwise it will blow.

With the heat treat on cam lobes, I don’t believe they’ll ever shatter (at normal temps). Don’t quote me, but I think aluminum is very soft and will bend long before it ever brakes.  Hopefully someone with more info will chime in. 

Boy, if there were ever an advertisement for adding the ability to edit thread topics...

I hate it when my can lob gets chipped.

I believe this will help with your chip youtube.com/watch?v=tdPRRxM…
