Nomad XT rigging/adjustments feedback appreciated

- i actually ran the bungee loop around the tank valve, not just under it

It is hard to see but is the loop ran around the valve as in under the hoses too? Or is it just ran under the knob and under the back of the valve?

sorry, just around the tank knob, not the whole valve.

The left cylinder just needs the bungee loop to be shortened. That will raise the valve and drop the bottom, making the cylinder parallel to your body. The right cylinder needs the leash to be a little longer then the same thing with the bungee loop.

during the dive, i couldn't figure out why my right tanks was canted inward toward my body, since bungee and leash lengths are symmetrical on both sides.

taking a closer look at the video, i see that the tank neck cord that is attached to the boltsnap is running under the first stage.

I've got about 20 dives in my SM rig so far and I think I'm getting pretty close to having it dialed in. One of the last bits I'm still tweaking is the bungee and leash length.

I'm thinking I need to shorten the bungee length a little and lengthen the leash length a little as well. Also maybe move the cam bands toward the bottom of the tank about an inch or so.

Am I off-base with this assessment? Any other advice?

Thanks.

I'd say your assessment is right on.
