    Due to a very recent email (received 30 mins ago) sales of the zigzag are now halted and it is recommended to stop using the zigzag until further notice. d22.pdf

    I can understand the concern and it may be prudent to hold off buying one until Petzl release there final results on Tuesday 23rd April. We are still climbing with one and using a Beal pinch to keep the carabiner secure. We are also sending a Beal pinch out FOC to customers who have already bought a zigzag from us and are giving one away free with every zigzag purchase. It will be interesting to see the results as they have tried side loading the zigzag as per the information from the accident but havent been able to replicate the failure.

    Is it just the mobile app your having problems with? Hopefully you can get the pic below but it is nothing new just the statement already posted in the zigzag failure thread. Just posting it here as it was getting lost in that thread and Petzl do want people who purchased the zigzag to see the statement.

    Try either of these two, first is a .doc file the second a .txt file(no picture with this one though) Petzl Communication on the Zigzag april 15th 2013.doc Petzl Communication on the Zigzag april 15th 2013.txt

    Urgent Safety Notice. Petzl have recalled ALL petzl Zigzags. Please see attached statement from Petzl. [ATTACH]122067[/ATTACH]

    We asked them today about this and up to now there is no information about what or if anything happened. If there is any news it will be posted on the petzl web sites and facebook pages, plus all the dealers will be informed etc as soon as possible.

    Don't steam clean it, you will cause more problems than you solve. Pro saws need far less cleaning than you think.

    Sorry for the late reply. I have been using this 60cm sling Lyon Protective Sling with a treeflex harness. It allows me to get a full reach reach on pulling and I can just about reach the top of the zigzag. If you have a longer bridge it may be just too long but then I am only 5 foot 7 so it does depend on your arm length etc We also have them available in 18mm with no protective sheath which is a fair bit cheaper Lyon Webbing Sling

    Took delivery of 2 and 4 stroke Aspen today. We have the 2 stroke in 1 and 5 litre cans and the 4 stroke in just 5 litre for now. We dont have it up on the web site ATM as we need to work out the additional courier cost and work it into the price, so its only available in the shop for now. Look forward to trying it out it out myself.
  11. Mark_Skyland
    Will be interesting to try it out for myself tbh. We dont have the footfall through the door to shift a pallet just yet. Making it available to the local area is a start so with a bit of advertising, advising and availability hopefully it will be a product we can invest in.
  12. Mark_Skyland
    Well I suppose there is nothing to loose by giving it a shot since there is no big first order. I did look into stocking aspen when we set up last year but tbh it got sidelined as I dont think its something we will sell a lot of ATM, but a small first order to see if theres interest is worth doing. Might be a bit more than 3 5 litre cans but deffo not 54! I will give you a call over the next few days Eddie or drop me an email etc.

    I didnt mean that it was only for 'experts' more so that if he is new to tree climbing it might put him off right from the start:laugh1: It sounds like he wants it as basic and cheap as poss so prussik and 13mm will be the best and easiest to use combo IMO. Good to see your helping him out with a climb,as its easier to pass on expertise and knowledge face to face rather than over a keyboard.
  14. Mark_Skyland
    Have you tried climbing on aeris? No offence but I wouldn't recommend it for the OP. A nice cheap 13mm will do you fine.
  15. Mark_Skyland
    All pre orders sent out today, so as long as Fedex do their job they should be with you all tomorrow.
  16. Mark_Skyland
    A quick bump to say only 3 left. ALSO, dont forget we will have one on our climbing wall so if your local pop in and have a try. You can always bring your own climbing rope/kit if you want to see how it feels with your setup. OK, its no where near as good as a proper climb but better than nothing.
  17. Mark_Skyland
    Unfortunately it will be very obvious. the magnets will be in pieces and the stator/alternator will be shredded.
  18. Mark_Skyland
    Nope. Need to remove both coils then just one bolt holding it onto the crank.
  19. Mark_Skyland
    You need to remove the flywheel as the magnets are inside. The magnet you are probably looking at is for the ignition coils etc.

    Ive spoken to numerous beer drinking fat blokes, someones sisters,uncles, friend of a neighbours brother and a taxi driver who used to be a tree surgeon and they all agree that it will be released definitely with out a doubt on a Monday. As for Husky, they dont know! Speaking to a few guys from Husky last week at a conference and the earliest is going to be May, maybe. They have more T540XP's being trialled(25 of them) which should finish the end of this month, so all being well it could be 4-6 weeks from then. Basically the 020T set the standard and trying to get a saw as compact and as powerful while still meeting emission regs is very, very difficult. Hopefully when/If it does come out it will be a stormer of a saw and it better have no running issues or reliability problems whatsoever!

    I was just about to say the standard 61 carb settings are 1 turn out but sounds like you have it sorted now:thumbup1: I have access to more or less all the husky tech info so if stuck for anything let me know and Ill see what I can do.
  22. Mark_Skyland
    Have you tried a new plug? Worked on many an 020 over the years and not very often but a couple of times have had this similar sounding problem that points straight to the carb but has in fact been a simple dodgy plug. Sparks ok out of the cylinder but not under pressure.
  23. Mark_Skyland
    The difference is that you have been using VXL and the new chain you have is VX. The L being long top plate. Tbh I didn't think anyone still sold the VX since as you say they are about half the size!
  24. Mark_Skyland
    Done. Good luck with the project.
  25. Mark_Skyland
    There are definitely no replaceable parts on the zigzag.
