So I've only had my banjo for a few months, but I decided to replace the strings with nylgut ones. After a false start with 3 strings broken, I was able to get another set on and tuned up to standard. However, the 4th string keeps slipping off the tuning peg. Looking at it, I can see there's actually too much string on the tuning peg; the problem is when I try and tune it up, the string slips off the peg because there's no more peg left for the string to wrap around.

I play guitar and replaced the strings many times and never had anything close to this problem before. Should I try restringing that one string? Is this a normal problem with nylguts? I bought the Aquila nylguts btw
