CAM's on Iron Cobra from RG to PG

[remco]

I'm playing with double Iron Cobra Rolling Glide's. And they are pretty awesome, but i want to switch to the power glide version. It just feels better for my style of playing. Are there options available to change the cam or do i have to buy a new set? Any people having experience changing cam's? Thanks!

The cams are available separately. You can change them out yourself, but you will have to take the pedal apart obviously.

Thanks, i just ordered the part needed for this (5PN).

I play on power glide cobras (2nd gen) and I notice a big difference in the distance I set the beater from the head compared to a round cam kick pedal. I find I can shorten the stroke and still attain the same power and increase my speed. All that while decreasing the energy I need to put in.

although I do have to say finding the sweet spot with all five of the different settings is harder with such an aggressive cam. I like having the Power cams more than when I've used rolling cams. At the end of a playing session my legs are less tired when using a power cam than a rolling cam.

Thanks a lot for your take on the RG vs PG discussion. I received the parts so i'm going to try out myself. I always wondered what the difference would be when shortening the distance between the beater and the head. I'm sure going to try this out. I always used 45 degrees

Can I have your RG cams? I prefer the feel of a round cam. LOL

I think sending them to the USA from The Netherlands will be rather expensive for shipping. But ofcourse, make me an offer i cannot refuse :)
