treemotion bridge

[jrose]

The replacement bridges come with the red stiching on one side only, as obviously you need to thread it through and then tie your own knot.

 

I wouldn't worry about it

Tommy_B a loler inspector cant inspect a knott that has not been tied at the factory so should always untie any treemotion bridge that does not have the red stiching intact. Better having to retie a knott that get a loler fail due to said knott!

Then how could they pass a friction cord if they can't trust the user to tie a knot!?!?

Surely a simple overhand knot doesn't need untieing?

 

Even the most pedant of pedants can see if it has been done correctly. Now if my LOLER inspector failed a harness on that reason then I would be using some one else.

Agreed

Jobsworths out there

Tbh I would just re stitch it if I lolered it

When I fit a new bridge I use it and load it then stitch it

I can see your logic but there is no way it happens in practice

I wouldn't necessarily fail a piece of kit just because I couldn't untie a knot that had been loaded beyond being able to be reasonably undo it.

I shortened mine on the second climb. Cut the stitch on one side and just re-tied the knot. If you replace the bridge the new ones don't come with the little red stitch.

Not tried myself but could be worth trying.

Interesting idea, but I can't see how you would get it on without messing about with red stitching though.
