Darwin Strap Cam Alternatives

Shipped in early January 

 

PLEASE READ:
Due to the longer waiting time there is no need for a full payment in advance. You can place your preorder and I'll get back to you with a detailed purchase confirmation within 1-2 days.

The full amount will be requested a few days prior to shipping - Alternatively, you can also email me to place an order or in case of an emergency ;-)

 

NOTE: If you consider one of those as a standard option when purchasing a Darwin FTW, just let me know and I'm happy to assembly your pedal with one of those instead of the stock cam at no additional costs.

 

Choose between two options:
Minimal Cam: Offers a small radius for minimal footboard motion for large beater motions - this cam is super efficient and powerful. It generates a very specific heavier feeling that wants to be controlled by minimal foot motions.

Fatboay Cam: Similar diameter as the stock cam but with a 100% round running surface - results in a super harmonic and linier movement, very similar to vintage Sonor pedals.

 

These cams are designed to retrofit all Darwin models including the 1st gen non FTW version, as well as the current FTW design. 
All kits come with a matching strap pre-installed as well as the required tool to fit the cam onto your Darwin. 

Please note that converting a Double pedal or a Middle Pedal requires 2 kits.
