Sweet,cheers craig!

 

New Rg has 8mm sirius but is too big when fishermans knots get caught sometimes,so think smaller prussic be better.

 

Also stitching has started coming apart.

i think the 6mm globe is a bit too small bro as you have to lift the pinto more to get it into the eye. thats only what ive been told though as ive got 8mm snakeskin on mine.

bad news about the stitching bro-wanna send it up and ill do it properly?

How do you do the stiching on the ropeguide i was on about befor drew mate? What would you recommend. Stiching is not my strong point and i dont want it coming apart, cheers

True,Just with the 8mm and fishermans it take a few flicks to get it through the eye, so thought smaller would be as bulky,maybe i should just splice something onto the pinto.

Yeh the stitching just seem pointless now,

[CraigD]

you could always just splice the cord straight onto the pinto, that way there's no knots

[atree]

Was speaking to Richard(treetools) today he says its a bad idea.Due to no stretch and it loading on onepoint?

[DrewB]

can you explain bro?

Using 8mm globe(un spliced)...You'd have to ask him

[Dentschev]

Teufelberger does not splice. They use a sawing machine instead. ;-)

[Cleetus]

Teufelburger do splice. If you look on some of their products the splice is also stitched on a machine, I think it's the multi save.
