    modding a 201

    apparently the 201 doesnt need porting or polishing, just the carb restricter taking out a hole drilled and some advanced timing..

    modding a 201

    seen a few tips on various sites about drilling a hole in the exhaust, is this the same on the uk saws?
  5. used my 201 today for the first time, its not a patch on the 200t or even my 020 back in the day! anyone got any tips or tricks with them?

    Tachyon

    ive got a 45m green tachyon, in my opinion its the best rope ive ever used, hardly any stretch, good colours, not had any milking at all, holds its shape well and pluss i can get 45m of tachyon plus my treemotion, a wire core strop, soft strop and gloves all in a small silver bull bag!!!!!!!!!!!! i will buy another when this is past its best!
  15. im buying a rope guide as soon as i get bk in the uk, 420bucks in oz for a rope guide is ridiculous!!!!!
  16. tachyon, hitch climber, various cords, tree motion, soft and wire core strop with petzl device,carbon gekos..................the list could go on for ages but thats the main bits
  17. what the hell is it? an old pulley?
  18. ditto!!! i much prefer a kebab!!!
  19. just put up with the none sticking for a while then it grips every time!!! i no what your saying tho it is a tad on the stiff side!!!
  20. is the line made from pure aramid? looks nifty
  21. ive just started to cheat in footlocking, i climb on a tachyon and footlocking a single 11mm rope seems a whole waste of energy so i now use a pantin, cant fault it, but there is nothing like a good old double rope foot lock, only used footlocking here in oz, never had to do it in the uk but its deffinatly the way to acend into a tree
  22. i have a secont rope now that ill go up on the start with, i like a double rope for bigger accents
  23. not hard dude just slow and painful!
