  1. Rubber still on there mate but I did find it wasn't holding my zz up enough so I added a zip tie it works great now.
  2. It grabs everytime and only takes a delicate touch to descend but I only weigh 9.5 stone:).
  3. Stick something just under the rw like a zip tie to stop it inverting. Here is my new set up its a real short system and works a treat for me. 9 inch tether with 62cm e2e with a 2 wrap knut.
  4. To all the other travellers jumping on the hype.
  5. So what have they sacrificed from the normal motion to come up with the superlight. So far no clips and less padding anything else?
  6. I might have to give this a try. Would it be safe without much of core taper? Ie a couple of strands left?
  7. If you want the best for self tending then 11mm velocity is the best but if you want something thats abit thicker to hold then tachyon. Id would personally stay away from pi it has to much flex . Rigid ropes are better for self tending.
  8. Interesting. How is the spice performed to give it more flex? The cross over looks really smooth no buldges in the throat.
  9. I enjoyed that read. Who was the lucky man pushing her up the tree :-).
  10. Plus it dont grab unless you give it a flick.
  11. That looks the dons! Let us no how you get on.
  12. Did the one you tried have clips for leg loops?
  13. Yes centrals splices are good. But there is plenty of top splicers on here who would appreciate the business. Just look at some of the works in the splicing threads and pm someone.
  14. Marc I was on about the superlight tm coming out.
  15. I still cant get over how good this saw Is,but I do find myself giving it stick threw larger wood when I should pull up the 201.and is it me or is the chain indestructible I havent sharpened it since I got it a while back and its had plenty of use.
  16. Good luck mate! Iv worked with Charlie myself and hes a good lad and very keen.
  17. Lovely fish. Im down on the avon end of month I cant wait :-). Anyone no of any stretches that are free down there?
  18. Get the samson spicing guide off the net pdf files. Start on 16 strand xtc new rope. And watch you tube videos. There is plenty of threads covering what tools are needed.
  19. I have a sequoia and one thing that really gets on my nerves is the side ds they are more to the front than the side and can be fiddly to find at times.other than that its a tidy harness once you have made adjustments. Im also running the smallest bridge. Im intrigued by the new tree motion.
  20. One thing i would worry about is the screw gate on the mallion rubbing against the webbing as the rings allow the attatchments to pivot.
  21. John is a top splicer, central has been banned for a few reasons so keep it local boys johns ya man
  22. Well dairymeade is being re stocked soon, lots of strong fighting rainbows but the browns are hard to get, I caught it on a sinking daddy long legs wrong time I no but just gave it a go. They charge 15 pound for the day catch and release or 5 for any fish taken away.or 10 for the evening. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
