wow theye cheap!!! waterproof??
-
I love my velocity on the SJ. Self tends from ground level!!!
-
All boots slip on certain surfaces. Get used to it!
-
I got teufelberger tachyon and the zz is ripping it to shreds so dont get that.
-
Its not the bend on the pulley its the one on the first link. After that the rope goes straight through the others in a straight line due to lack of diameter. With a 11.5 the bend is less and the links above seem to grab more like they are designed to. So what im trying to say is I can see why you are not supposed to use 11mm as the weight is not applied evenly through the device. If you get what I mean???
-
It looks to me as if the bend is taking all the weight and the links aint holding much, hence the jerkyness.
-
Just tried it with velocity. Plus side is ascents and tending are way smoother. Negative side decents are jerky and the bend on the rope looks suspect (see pic)
-
ill give a quick whirl in the velocity today
-
Ill keep you posted on the wear. I know what your saying about the sj and agree, everything has its drawbacks the thing that really narks me about the sj is replacing worn bits 6 clutches a body and a brake in 1 yr, expensive! Although the zz may prove expensive if I have to replace a seriously worn rope!
-
Gonna have to cut one of ya splices off.
-
I find the spiderjack with velocity and ropeguide a hell of a lot smoother and the zigzag is no way near as good at self tending. I can see why people prefer the zz as its more natural and similar to a hitch. But so far the sj rules, for me anyway. But its early days as ive only had the zz less than a week.
-
I have done 2x 10 m ash reductions and one 6m apple reduction with the zigzag. In the first pic the top bit of rope is below the 20 m mark and represents what my rope looked like before the zz ( I know the spliced end gets more use but it wasn't far off) and the lower bit shows the wear im experiencing. A lot of wear from not a lot of use.

Will do when I get back to the yard
-
It was like new. Now its all gone fluffy.
-
Teufelberger tachyon.
-
Noticing some rope wear after only 2.5 days light use. Anyone else getting this??
-
Thirded. 3 m one will tackle most trees.
-
Where on the tree where they?? Under ground?? Look like snail eggs to me.
-
I would get a transit. They have more room than a cabsar/isuzu/fuso. Cheap to buy/run/fix. You could get a nice one for 4k.
