Komet dragonfly 2

[briscoe]

Hi

 

I have a komet dragonfly 2 which im thinking of replacing the bridge on as the stitching on both ends looks tired.

2 questions:

 

1. If replacing - do the bolts for both d ring attachments need to be sealed with melted plastic to stop coming undone/unscrewing over time?

 

2. The stitching on either end looks as it stitches a kevlar type material to the thicker bridge material. Is this correct or does the thinner kevlar material pass all the way through the middle of bridge with the thicker material covering which would seem safer?

 

Hope that makes sense and someone can help!

cheers

Seal the bolts with Loctite mate

Thanks Dan .

Yes loctite is what you need. Check the age of the harness as well as most in daily use should be disposed of after 5yrs according to manufacturers. If unsure just have a loler inspector check it over and certify fit for use. This is for insurance purposes as if you or someone else has an accident climbing in it you may not be entitled to a payout.

Thanks guys . I'll replace the bridge (15 quid on buxtons) and use locktite to stop bolts coming undone. I'm going to cut the old bridge open and see what the construction is for future piece of mind. The material attachments on either end which attach the bridge to the bolts look so thin and strange if they are just stitched onto the ticker bridge material. I find the tape soon comes off protecting this stitching and its then vulnerable to getting damaged.

When I had mine I replaced the bridge about 4 times. Just remember to check all stitching daily before use.
