Yet another twisting question

I’ve read all the twisting threads I can find but found only one that mentioned exactly what was meant by twisting. When I refer to twisting I mean that the head and the bib hanger both twist in the same direction. Not that the head twists inside the hanger. Is, the head and hanger both twisting in the same direction, the dangerous kind of twisting? With me the head and hanger almost always twist to the right about 45 degrees, more with more weight. The only guaranteed way that I’ve found to stop this twisting is to attach close to the base, but I read a reply by bib that claims you’d get mostly skin stretch with this.

I’ve also found that I twist the same direction, to the same degree, with virtually any weight applied, with a vacuhanger type hanger as well. This one too the hanger and the head both twist together so it’s not twisting inside the hanger.

Twisting inside a hanger is bad because some of the clamping pressure will end up ontop where your nerves are. If that happens you will feel pain at first and then it will go numb.

Your twisting doesn’t sound like that at all. You can keep it straight with your hand but I don’t think it matters.

Hi Vic20

I had this issue too, I have a home made hanger, the one made from conduit, the lower part of it is longer so I can hang, then gently correct and hold it straight with my thighs, hope that helps.
