As discussion of your problem evolves it continues to baffle me. I have a
similar garhauer block with cam cleat. I've simply never had a problem
with mine. Then again my cleat is at the end of a 12:1. I think you're on

The reason that I don’t think it is a defective block/cleat is that it happened
