@@mmcguire5687 yes he did say he was going to order! I need some additional information from him though and he hasn't been replying to texts. I'll get a call in tomorrow to him.
always wondered why the rollers for the cables are parallel when the cables are not. Wouldn’t it make more sense to to machine them with this angle in mind? Maybe offer it in different angles for different bows/lenghts or even make it adjustable? Would guess this would 100% eliminate the stringing issues some people report with these.
in order to have the roller align perfectly with the cables (the angles of which vary somewhat between different models) the large rollers would actually need to be able to rotate off of an axis....very difficult to make work effectively and far more costly to design and manufacture. Out current design works GREAT as you'll see if you read our outstanding customer reviews on the website. We do also have a video here on our channel that shows how the cables align with the rollers during the draw cycle. Thanks for asking, Sam (TAP Owner) Cancel Reply
Im sure your products work fine and also plan to get a few for my Mach 34 if it ever shows up at the dealer. Question, when machining this part, why not make that huge center bolthole smaller and counterbored. Would look more slick then a stack of washers. Same way the rest is machined, without the elongated channel ofcourse. Im not a professional machinist so maybe there is a reason.
It wasnt intended to be this way originally. The two washer stack and small button head screw (which actually work really well fortunately) is just the solution that allowed the product to work at ALL. There was a small drawing error that was not caught before the part went into production...and given that I was then many thousands invested already couldn't afford to run them again...had to find a way to make it work and this was it...use one on my Levitate and it works very well in addition to providing me another tool for tuning....cable load adjustment!
I just got a Levitate and probably going to consider this. I thought the cables were pulled over excessively also with the factory. Do you need to add twists in the cables after installation due to reduced pressure laterally
@urbanarcher3535 you won't lose more than about 1/2 pound in draw at most and if you want to regain it, yes, add some twists in cables. I've done that numerous times on my bows.
The white is for a very good reason. I often answer the question of "WHY THE WHITE ROLLERS?".... and while I DO understand that people may not "like" them as much as black rollers, I simply NEVER compromise when it comes to performance. TAP has never been about aesthetics or what looks most appealing... ALWAYS about what functions best. When it comes to plastics and how they behave, it's really important to keep in mind that a material like Delrin (or its equivalent like we used) will be at its SLICKEST/LOWEST friction and ALSO strongest, when it's in its natural state of off-white color... when black dye is added the physical properties begin to degrade.
You have excellent products
thank you!
TAP Archery When you have this product for PSE Supra X 37 let me know to buy it
I have a set coming for my Mach and EVL. Looking forward to getting them mounted up.
Thank you for the business and support! 🤜🎯

Just ordered one. Great idea.

Thanks for the response.
Any chance these come in black? The white is super clashy and cheap looking.
