this is "Josephine hedger" world champ and many times uk champ too. rope after two days use. as i said there is a issue here,

 

I would imagine Jo has given it a lot more stick in two days than many of us would in two months :001_smile:

 

But it does look like sharp edge damage where there is a burr on one of the metal edges

I'm not having any issues with my PI. I'm curious to see if it's all ropes or construction dependant.

 

The two ropes in those photos are quite different. Imori being pretty soft and Tachyon being fairly hard in comparison. Cant comment on construction as im not that much of a rope geek but judging from the differnt posts on here it seems there is a few ZZ with a sharp edge somewhere. Ive run tachyon through a SJ for 5 months so far with zero abrasion.

Also is everyone with a ZZ using some kind of friction saver??? I knackered a rope by coming out of a tree too fast without one when i first got my SJ.

Interesting point Joe...as far as Imori rope is concerned and i have climbed on this rope,it isn't a smooth rope...it has raised nodules incorporated into it which would rub against the unit:mad:...imo

 

Yeah but tachyon is fairly smooth and that has been getting damaged too.
