Thanks.

In the meantime I disassembled the sidewinder, but I fear the problem is inside the case. The spring doesnt build up tension. I think the sprig is able to rotate, or maybe it is broken. I think I am gonna look into the case as well, wish me luck...

I git mine brad new, bur after pulling the rope out for the first time it doesnt spool back at all?! Any advice how to fix that?

I am little afraid to open it because I dont want to relase the spring...

Tachyon

 

Can anyone spot where a potential wear problem could occur ?

 

I haven't seen any wear problems with mine so far, infact I think used with a friction saver they are the best mechanical friction hitch to date. I've been using lock jack for over 6 years now

The wear occurs when the Rope runs out of the device and over the side plates insteat of the pulley. Thats my expirience so far.

Just watch out for that and you'll be fine...

All you Guys know that a Fig-8 is no PPE, right?

Just thought I mention it...

Thnaks, I have to admitt I just read the Climbers Corner...

Very hot, Mr.Bristow!

Some pictures of the Sulphur-Equipment?

Filming in a volcano- there's a thread about it somewhere bro.

Where can I find it?!

Oh, sorry, after a short "googling", which I obvioisly should have done yesterday before my post...) I see it' different in english, I just translated the german names for the bowlines.

For me a double bowline is this: Bowline on a bight, and "yours" is just a variation of a bowline.

I love the bowline in a bight by the way, great knot, maybe thats the reason why replied so quick...

Very nice, looks like a lot of work:001_tongue:

Just had a little look, I dont think Technora is good for Bridges, wasnt there something about on Treebuzz? Something to do with Technora beeing "self-abraisive"... Where are the experts?

And, your Double Bowline is none, I dont know how its called in english, sorry...

try putting your coocoun on ur splice and then take off ur prussik, then tie a alpine butterfly when and what ever length u need each time. works way way better less stuff needed. retevies easier too.

Cool idea, I am gonna try this, thanks

Hallo Remy !

Pics are always very welcome I guess...

How about a Prohaskas Homepage, will he ever come out with one?

Would be great!

Cheers,

Hey Drew,

Beal can do stitched Terminations on Dynamic Rope, ask them !

But maybe you have to buy more then 1 rope, or it could be eeexpensive...

The CE version of PI has a Nylon Inner Core to higher the tensile stregnth and to give it the correct characteristics to meet the CE Standard. CE is much more stringent in testing than ANSI. The discisson not to make a CE version of Blue Moon was made in November.

Doesn't Ansi requires a higher tensile strength than EN ? Or was that just on Biners... ?

They calls it the O rig

Or "floating Prussic" (Hitch Climbers Guide...)

Whats the advantege of having the Pulley at the spliced end ?

Thanks Nigel, very interesting ! I know abot the yellow Line, but not about the different core construction, could you tell a little more about it, whats the difference (weave, material)? And do you or someone know about the differences of the US and EU Standards ? Doesn't require ANSI a higher Breaking Strength than CE ??

Sad to hear about Blue Moon, some Months ago Yale told me they want to CE certify it, sounds like they changed their mind. Do they fear not to sell enough in Europe, what do you think ?

Sounds expensive, and I dont know if I'd like to use the Rings of a worn out Harness. But I am totally open for offers !

And btw, I'd have no problem clipping Biners into the Rings I think, you dont do it that often in daily use...

But fairly spoken (<- is that correct English ?) the Treemotion has a really nice Solution for that application !

Yes, PI and Hi-Vee are Sherril exclusive Colors, Blue Moon is the regular Color of the same Rope.

Edith says: They sell it even in Custom Lenght, whats great IMO. Although the Splice wouldn't be CE aproved then, thats the disadvantage...

Uuups, sorry for the double post ! Wanted to edit....

PI is in fact CE approved already(since about 2 month)!

Availible >> here for example.

Ouch, you're totally right ! Hmm, and the Rings are (unfortunately) not availible as spare Parts (I'd love to have them on my Treeflex...).

Hmmm....

The Bridge on the Seqoiua is easy to replace, maybe thats why they dont care ?

Found it (ok, wasnt hard ), Sherrill writes > here: "The shorter loop of cord can be positioned over the Friction Saver's small ring end to make the system adjustable with one hand"

Aha...

I somehow failed to open the Instructions that can be downloaded on the product site.

Edit: Ok, at least adjustible in one direction (shortening)...

Ahh, alright, a

its for "normal" Ring-CS made of Leather, I didnt think about that !

I always think of this "Leather-Tube-Thing" when I hear or read Leather CS.

And that one with an adjustable Prussick was really confusing me...

Thanks !

The answer to DrewB's Question would also interest me !

Id prefer a tenex hollow braid prussic for a Leather cambium saver,especially if your going to use it for choking small stems.

Heres a pic of one for a Buckingham leather CS.

Prussic for a Leather CS, could you please explain that to me ?

I never used a Leather CS anyway, but I cant Imagine what a prussic is doing with it...

Would be great !

Alright, thats something I already do :-)

But I didnt knew the term "brash"...

Thanks for the quick help Guys !
