Not sure about the grams, but it weighs 14 oz. on a kitchen scale.

The New Bone is essentially the very same weight as the older ones.

 

I will try to calculate 14 multiplied by 28.35 we get ....calculator broke down:001_smile: .... we get weight in grams - 396.9 gram. In gram BB much heavier:001_smile:

Max I like 14 oz. better : )

 

Luke, some climbers use the hole in the spine for tending. This seems to require a more leaned back position while ascending. Some love the D-ring on the top arm, which seems to work best with a more upright position while ascending, others attach a loop of throw line that runs down through the inside of the top arms and fastens to the hole in the spine. Try each and choose what works best for you. : )

To be honest have been getting on really well from the hole ont spine so far

Here is a video made of my latest Bone batch. It shows well how the Bone tends from the brass ring point. Thank to John for allowing me to share this. video.[ame]

So eager to try this, it really does look a nice piece. Just not got the funds at the minute great stuff Gordon. I'll be In Touch as soon as possible.

Any idea what rope he was using in the video , I've tried tachyon & and a marlow rope they didn't run as fast as that rope , is there any feedback on favoured ropes for the bone ?

[surveyor]

He says elsewhere that it is Tachyon, which he preferred over the Imori he tried out.

I do not yet have much feedback with this new Bone, but the 11.7mm ropes seem to work well.

[johnanderton]

Thanks Gordon , imori is a soft type rope so maybe harder ropes run better , one thing I did find was that the bone is so robust & solidly made that when I switched to spider jack the other day it felt flimsy )

Can it be used for drt too? I have a HH at the mo and find it real handy being able to swap between srt and drt with no trouble.
