basic ropeguide

[atree]

just wondering if you have used these before? (with cocoon)Are they easy 2 retrive?

[DrewB]

isnt that what youve got mate? my one retrieves better than the webbing one..... i found that if the cocoon gets jammed in the ring it just takes a few flicks to dislodge it and sails through.dont get frustrated and just yank harder

I think atree is refering to the new RG's which use a soft eye instead of a ring and a plastic widgit to hold the soft eye open, they look like they should retrieve easy but have not tried one.

is it not the rope guide primus?

[atree]

yes but its only wiv the cocoon and its prussic loop

 

Drew-im pretty sure my cocoon doesnt go through the lrg ring cos of the splice,will a large splice eye work instead??

ive spliced a big open eye with shock cord inserted where the core was removed. it definetly didnt retrieve.at all. someone on treebuzz suggested making the rubber widget thing on a lathe so im gunna try making one soon. but i have no problems retrieving the cocoon and ring combo mind.

ok,well its definatly the wrong splice i have on the ring,you reckon take the core out and splice it flat on the ring?

yeah bro its a standard 16strand splice as per the samson instructions. get some spark, a bent coat hanger and its dead easy. if you wanna post the ring up ill splice it for ya..........
