Tachyon/cord combo

[Steve Bullman]

just a heads up. Been playing around with this rope with different cords. Yesterday I put on a brand new piece of Roblon, at the end of today i inspected the cord and found HEAVY wear to the point i could pull the core out. I havent been doing any fast descents so im putting it down to the combination of the 2 cords. Roblon is pretty hard wearing stuff ive found in the past. It does run very nicely on the tachyon however so if you are going to use it just monitor it slightly more regularly than you'd think.

 

tomorrow i'll be trying it with the liros.

Does the tachyon have a tendancy to milk? It felt like it might in a severe way when I handled it, but i have not as yet climbed on it

[Steve Bullman]

its not so bad as yet.

Steve I tried the Ryblon the other day the outer sheath does seem to wear quite quickly I put it down to the fine strands that make up the outer sheath. Have you tried the new Yale Silver Streak on it yet? We tried the Liros at the east of england and from new couldn't get it to grip that well in a VT formation, just too stiff from new. Swapped it over for some Silver Streak and worked first time. Keen to know how you get on.

Tryed beeline eye to and worked just fine, will work throught some more over the Irish comp weekend and work shops.

how you finding the tachyon so far?? looked at it it and thought it would milk pretty bad but thats only on observation....any good as a working rope???

My 45m Tachyon has milked about 1ft but now seems to have stopped.

So far I like it, its a fairly hard rope but still supple which makes it nice to handle.

i love it, will formulate a full review very shortly.

 

Nick, i didnt have any problems with the liros, worked fine. im keen to try the silver streak, probably wont get my hands on it till the AA show now though.
