Treeflex bow shackle

[Tom D]

I'm not blaming the harness as such, but my point was that once the bolt has loosened it is free to move with every movement of the bridge. A nylock design would be better IMO. I posted to warn people that regular checks, whilst very important are not good enough, and locktite or some other threadlock must be used. It would appear to me that once loose, the bolt could come out relatively quickly through repetetive movements such as body thrusting when ascending. A preclimb check may not find any fault yet by the end of a dismantle the bolt could be completely undone.
