spliced Tachyon

[Rich Rule]

Thats deffinatly not right mate!!

 

It looks like there was no taper what so ever and kind of looks like they've just fed a fid through and just tried ramming the crap out of it!!

 

Was the purple inner core still in there too?

 

If you need it splicing mate id be happy to do it for you.

 

yup purp inner core still in there... looked 'dodge a la rodge' and i did manage to pull to eye about a centimetre larger.

 

thank you, i might take you up on that offer.

Never spliced it but you can have a crap splice look right. to the untrained eye or the unobservant that splice looked good.

I spliced mine a while back, that looks well wrong to me, the inner braid ( white) should run in the opposite direction to the outer, so it runs up throught the burried outer, round the eye and back down into its own bury, this makes the burried section extremely tight, that looks thinner than mine.

 

It was extremely difficult to do and perhaps thets why your splicer made a crap job of it, not wanting to admit he couldn't do it, or he did the wrong splice for that type or rope.

[Gerbutt]

Should it have also been stiched a few inches down from the eye?

[High Scale]

Crossover looks a little loose, very important to get that nice and tight and to put some stitching in there otherwise the bury is even harder to complete, hmm, no lock stitching, it really should have it to prevent any slippage under low loads, in the New England instructions for Tachyon you should taper the purple three strand inner core but I take it out all together, My bet is the splicer who did that really struggled, it's not the easiest rope to splice.

i just got a tachyon rope from nod and it had a splice he did on it and it looks sod all like that, personally id ram that down the splicers.............

 

i know nothing about splices hence i dont do my own i pay good money to get good splicers to do it and that is a insult to splicers and anyone who climbs on it.

 

id be going mad if i had that on the end of my rope

personally id ram that down the splicers............./QUOTE]

 

Yup, it's going down one hole or up the other. I gave that to a maritime splicer from my boatyard who said he could do it no probs.....Lesson learnt, only use people that know what they're doing.

If I was given a dodgy splice I would take it VERY personally. To give you a less than perfect splice, the bloke is basically telling you that he knows you will be hanging your life on it, but he doesn't really care.

i'm a very competent maritime splicer, and i wouldn't go near an arb rope....

 

hope that comes across as i meant it to..

You wouldn't go near an arb rope cos that would mean doing some work:001_tt2:
