V.T rope??

[PC tree]

Which brand do you find grips well and doesn't slacken off when tending, I use stien silver streak I think, on Yale xtc and have struggled from day one with it not gripping..

 

What's your views??

[Dan Earp]

Have you tried a different knot? Like the Knut or dinstel also I've been using the black and green friction cord. Think its sirus !! But grips well but only tome will tell how long it last

Armor Prus is black n green and there's nothing to compete with it when used with Tachyon.

Lol thats it cheers👍 use it on 3 different makes of rope and is good on all

Roblon and Sirius bite well but don't last ,the lime green armour prus is almost indestructible but slightly stiffer and harder to set with less wraps so there's a compromise.

Tbh I have not used any thing but armour prus since trying it as I can burn out a length of the first two mentioned within a week.

Is it still only sold as accessory cord Matty?

Not sure mick I may be talking crap but I think it was not ce marked for a while but every body wanted it. I'm not entirely sure what the rules are regarding hitch cord with tied eyes instead of spliced for loler as I know some firms who won't let there guys use any thing but ce marked loops and made eyes and they are triple the price of a length of cord .... I suppose that is why the zig zag will do well.

Sirus burns out so quick I'm shocked it made it to.production stage let alone been sold to people who's lives depend on it if they choose to use it!

High mod fibers which most heat resistant cords are made from can be quite slippy, polyester is very grippy but lacks heat resistance, time and testing is all it takes to find a hitch that works well adding friction while descending helps keep friction cord lasting longer

I've found o.p. works well for vt knots, i have short vt's on my lanyard and wire core, works a charm:)

 

i have some blue and white cord for my main line that i got off a company i used to work for, dunno what its called and haven't seen it for sale but i love it and I'm running out! Anyone any ideas, think someone told me before it might be made by Samson but like say haven't seen it anywhere
