i suspect that is highly unlikely to happen on a Huber
Instagram
If it’s a fake, then it’s a very well made and expertly shielded / wired one!
I guess if I do this and I'm wrong about it being reversed, I'm ultimately going to get to the point of breaking the rod, but am I safe to assume that I'm going to end us having to fight tension to get to the point where I'm causing damage - ie if it's spinning freely then there's no danger?
Instagram
I turned the truss rod nut until it was loose (wobbling) and then nipped it back a touch - I actually think there is less relief like this that with me cranking it against the tension. I didn't go any further to see if it would come off (hadn't seen you're reply at that point)
So.. if it's a 2 way rod, would I expect it to go through a slack phase before gaining tension is the rod start to pull against the strings again? ..apologies for the dumb questions, I'm good with Fender, Gibson et al, but I've not come across this before!
Instagram
I'm going to let it sit overnight and hopefully here back from Huber in the morning - I'll report back with what they say
Much appreciate the help Wes! ..looking forward to when you're new(?) site is fully up and running
i am not sure what the mean, but It sounds like a normal one way rod installed and tightened before the board is levelled. This then works like a normal single rod, you tighten it to remove relief... but can also ad a limited amount be loosening it off, and if you keep loosening it the nut will come off. But that would not explain the effect you have described so best to wait to hear from them.

I went further clockwise - it stayed loose for a half turn and then I got a touch more friction and definitely less relief (now about 0.12”at the 7th fret, which is where I set an LP)
..it it was up over 0.16”at one point this eve!
Thank again for the help @WezV
