I won a Diamond Carbon cure in a drawing. It is a solo cam design, which apparently causes cam lean. The cam cuts through the serving on the cable next to the cam module 1 or 2 times per season, depending on how much I shoot. Thus far, I have just had the serving repaired, and continued on.
This is a well-documented flaw in design that Diamond has gone away from. The bow that followed (Diamond Deploy SB) has two (binary) cams, and better reviews. My cursory google search has led me to the conclusion that the binary cams will do better at leaving my strings and cables intact.
Now for my question-can I buy the binary cams from Diamond, have the archery shop install them, and effectively turn a Diamond Carbon Cure into the Diamond Deploy SB?
This will probably cost at least 1/3 the price of a comparable bow, but I am attached to it. Plus, I haven't taken a big game animal with it yet, so it doesn't feel like I have earned the right to upgrade yet.
I will go to my local archery shop next week, but they are closed today and tomorrow and would love some input.
Thanks in advance.
