Learn to tie knots and use tachyon:) I meant I haven't used it with sj bro, sorry for any confusion.
-
not sj bro but its a nice rope
-
Double braid has oth strength in core and cover hence double braid. Xtc is 16 strand so is cover strength. Ov is db class 2 and is core dependent. Technically armour prus is class 2 due to hmpe core but testing has found class 1 to be strong enough when used in a hitch configuration.Samson has great instructions on rope construction and relevant splices- if your not asking questions here, they are a great place to get info from

Op polyester core. Ov vectran core. Both have the same jacket of aramid and polyester. Class 2 is for hmpe cords- tecnora, vectran etc.. As they are very slippery and so the chinese finger trap of a class 1 splice may not hold. 16 strands ropes are completely different in that the core is just used as a filler keeping the rope round under load- in the splice it does nothing hence the bet long bury of the splice. Kernmantle ropes generally have the strength in the core with the cover acting as a protective layer but also adding some strength. Some rope companies also call 16 strand ropes a kernmantle due to the core not being braided. Nice n simple:)

Guaranteed to stand up after 2 years of abuse-bit the cheapest but handmade n bulletproof. Currently trying out a bigger version, and it's working well do far.

Yep, there pretty special:)

There a million ropes that look the same! Your hitch is op, so class 1 is spot on.Ive spliced up the ov and will probably test the class 1 splice but tbh it's too thin to be used as hitch cord anyway.
-
I think the green means it's certified for life support. Ov and op should be spliced differently, ov class 2 op class 1
-
jus say what you want bro and ill send whatever it is down
-
Yep that's definelty not a keen mantle splice. Wonder what they have done ?
-
What splice are marlow doing on the factory spliced rope? Just saws pic and it looked like a double braid splice.
-
I will:)
-
Same here reg,I expected it to be physically harder but definelty feel it has less Impact on the body.
-
No idea bro. Phone rich and ask. The price probably doesn't matter as you're Gunna get one whatever it is
-
All good then!
-
Personally I couldn't buy gear off eBay- how do you know its history?
-
Virgins:)
-
gets me how they came up with this splice in the first place!!
-
i line all the marks up and then individually pull each strand to make sure they are all sat nice n snug. The tape makes doing the bury way easier for me otherwise they all get tangled up.
-
probably doesnt help anymore than the new england instructions sorry bro
-
a case of seeing if it could be done!
-
rich hattier has made eye to eyes out of this. god knows how
-
