New ISC micro pulley

[Steve Bullman]

Wether or not it is safe to tie into the becket on a micro pulley has been discussed many times in the past, and I know a lot of people who do use this configuration. Theres now a pulley that is definetly rated for this purpose

Hadn't seen anyone configure that before, is the hitch tied to/or tied free on the other side of the becket.

Is it just a stopper knot?

Can't really tell from the ISC pictures.

[Steve Bullman]

not sure exactly whats going on in that particulary picture to be honest, but how it would normally be configured for a v.t is one leg tied to the krab and the other let tied around the becket........making it neater on the krab.

[David Humphries]

Have you got any pics of the above vt set up Steve?

[Steve Bullman]

fancy making me go out to the workshop on a sunday morning!!!

[David Humphries]

Thought the workshop was us Arbies Church, where we're to be found worshiping at the alter of all things Woody.

Where else would you be on a Sunday morning.

Thanks for the pic Steve

 

BTW, your strimmers shaft needs a good cleaning :wave:

The configuration on ISC is done using blakes, so there is only one tail to go through the becket which is then terminated leaving a long tail.

 

Which would leave things very tidy, putting a lot of trust in your stopper knot though and pressure.

i wouldnt trust it personally

I wouldn't use the harsh angles on the becket of the pully.

Does the pulley wheel still move, or does the tail from the blakes hitch stop it?
