Big Bros are great pieces of protection for wide parrallel sided cracks. They can however be a little problematic to set in less than parrallel sided cracks. The best way of setting these is to adjust it to where you wish it to sit and do the locking ring up and then give it an almighty whack down to really set it in place.

The very best way to place these pieces is to look for a knob to set the tube end hole over this way that sucker is never gunna shift.

This pro is an acquired taste and should not be used without first being trained in how to best set it. I think that the smaller Bros are a bit of a waste of time as there are many cams on the market which do an equal or better job. The bigger guys though are key to getting up the wide. Mind you though if I could get my hands on some of those valley giant cams that would be nice. Big Bros on the other hand are light and compact.

Now if they only made them in sizes out to three feet.

I love my Big Bros and when set right they give me a feeling of bomb proof passive pro that even cams can`t give.
