spiderjack clutch

[jeanesy]

I Was Just Wondering How Long Everyones Sj Clutches Last. I Seem To Be Going Through Them. Bought MyLast One At The Arb Show In June And It Seems As If It's Had It. Serious Rope Creep.Pevious Lasted About 4 Months From New. Is This The Norm?

[Alinicoll]

I get about 3 months out of mine. Depends how much you use it and how careful you are with the wooden brake and doing fast descents.

[edwood]

Mines about the same, burn through them faster than I thought I would! About 3-4 months if I'm lucky probably should use the wooden break more

3-6 months depending on use, A lot sooner if your on it each day.

Pretty much always use the brake, unless I'm going against the rope. I do tend descend pretty fast on it, half the fun really isn't it?! Cheers for the replies. Seems it's about the norm then.didn't think they'd wear quite as quick as they do.

One clutch every two weeks on average until i changed my rope to velocity.

Every two weeks?! That's a bit much. What rope were you using before you changed? How do you get on with velocity?

I wonder why they don't make it from steel??? would last a lot longer!! maybe it would'nt be as much of an earner!!

Was using new england tachyon. At 11.5mm it seems considerably wider than the velocity. In 18 months ive had one new sj body and countless cams... resorted to buying in bulk. Velocity at 11.3mm just falls through the device and is a pleasure to climb with. Had a month out of one cam so far...

I'm on tachyon now. Isn't velocity what the guy who does the spiderjackery videos uses? How do you find it to grip?
