    next show ?

    apf i think is in the next month or two? it was around this time of year last year. edit, think it may be a bi-annual event though. as website says its this week, but 2010...
  12. ive found that both work just fine on 11mm, comes down to prefferance really. 8mm feels a bit nicer to use with my tachyon, but i read somewhere that 10mm lasts longer due to having a larger surface area to disperse the friction heat over. maybe complete bs, but either way. Have a play with both!
  13. Yes, you enjoy those long lie ins Joe. The knut isn't a million miles away from the distel, which is what I have tied on my WPL with ocean polyester. I really struggled to get OP to bite on my rope in a VT, but Matt Rowden bought some off me and it worked fine on his Gecko. I have heard about some ex-students raving about the knut, but haven't really tried it in anger. I still think if you get the combination of ropes and the tying right that the VT is the kiddie

  14. Alright Steve? yes, enjoying the time off alot!

    I know what you mean about the Ocean polyester, im only having trouble with it when its tied in a VT, so have pretty much given up with it as it only bites half the time and feels pretty dodgy.

     

    Have given it a bash tied in a 'knut'? and that seems to work alot more consistently, any experience with this knot?

     

    Think james has some therma shield knocking around, so ill nab that and give it a test!

     

    Cheers for the advice!

  15. Hi Joe, Hope you're enjoying your huge amount of time off. Just read your comment about ocean polyester. Haven't read all responses to it, but can tell you that I couldn't get on at all with the stuff-constantly felt like I was going to fall out of the tree! Try New England Therma Shield. Seems to work pretty well. Or I have some Yale Bee-Line you could try before you buy!
