Which is the rope for me ?

[Steve Bullman]

Am I missing something. Just took delivery of my New Zig Zag, Why are you dropping down from a 13mm rope. I,ve just played with the ZZ and it seems to run fine on my climbing line. Albeit I only ran it on an un-tensioned tail poking out of my rope bag.

 

You won't see the full benefits of a zigzag with 13mm. It won't self tend like a smaller diameter rope will

That's why I have just ordered some 11.7mm blue tongue.

I love my velocity on the SJ. Self tends from ground level!!!

 

I couldn't get velocity to self tend with the sj. I felt it was too soft and not enough rope weight to pull it through. Don't know what I was doing wrong as id read and heard good things about it. Everyone is different I guess. Well happy now I'm back with tachyon.

I'm swaying towards the tachyon I think. Spliced or slaiced ? Any benefits of slaiced over spliced ??

The "slaice" is a softer splice type affair, which runs better with an O-rig should you be that way inclined.

The sliace has a dyneema sling in the eye so as Dan was saying is better for using with an O rig system, as with a splice you can't get it so close on the bottom attachment point as you don't want to be bending the throat of the splice! If that makes sense?
