Beeline differences?

[jrose]

About a year ago, I brought some beeline 10mm from I think honey bros, it was sort of beige and blue colour and I quite liked it (1st pic below). Been on ocean polyester since then, just ordered some more and the stuff I've got now is black and yellow and feels different to how I remember (2nd pic)?

 

Anyone know if there's an actual difference on construction, or if it's just the colour that's changed?

They are two completely different cords. Blue is new style. The yellow and black is the old kind.

 

The blue is basically the same as the 8mm but thicker. The older yellow and black stuff has a polyester core and a higher proportion of polyester in the cover compared to the new one which seems to be mostly technora with a wee bit of poly in the cover like the 8mm version has always been...
