Does the g string also go slightly flat after a deep bend and then you can pump the bar and bring it back in tune?

This is the EXACT thing I'm seeing with my SILO30 presently. I am thinking about just changing out the string. Any other ideas as to why that is happening? Would changing the string out solve this?

Does the Silo have locking tuners? If so, are you wrapping the string around the post or taking advantage of of the locking to minimize wraps?

i lube the springs where they contact the claw and the block. i lube the saddles where the strings cross. i lube the bridge plate and the bridge post where they meet and pivot . i also inspect the post and bridge plate for smoothness and file and sand as necessary to get a perfectly smooth knife action. i use 2 springs not angled. this way the springs sit in the provided slots on the string block properly.the morse has a locking nut.....so i don't have nut slots to pamper. but the slots MUST be smooth,not too tight,clean, & lubed.the locking tuners will work if you don't wrap the string more than 3/4 of a wrap.
i love big bends nut sauce cause it stays put for a while.
