  1. I've got a pair of geckos and love them. They are a bit like harnesses. Try before you buy.
  2. Thanks for your advice Steve. And Dan I tend to pull as high as I can reach. I'm guessing there is a knack to it and only using it will help
  3. I've been using tachyon and using the 11-12 cam. I've been pulling straight into the device but it just bunches up above the lj. Does it have to been used a few times before it's settles in?
  4. I've used my lo a couple of times and I'm struggling to get it to self tend even at height. It's does when I'm not hanging in my harness but when I do, it doesn't seem to self tend like the an does. Any thoughts?

    Pantin

    Used my pantin for the first time yesterday and wondered why I hadn't used one sooner! Use mine with a lj and its awesome!!!
  6. Used it to do some logging the other day. Using modern saw and then that!!! You can tell the av had just been introduced!!!! Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Mate just bought an 076av. BEAST!!! Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. I've had the hi flex. Sip progress and the husky technical ones. Put of the 3 I found the huskys the most comfortable. Sip most durable and hi flex most cool. Out of the 3 I've tried.... Have to be husky.... But I am getting pfanner vents next time around definitely Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Hi guys, needs some help fixing a strimmer, I believe it's a carb problem. I've stripped it all down. No abnormalities but refuses to run off choke. It runs briefly on full choke but dies again one switched back. Any help will be grateful cheers Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. When I make them I make them as long as from my wrist to my shoulder to get maximum pull from the prussik. Double fisherman's as the connecting knot. Hope that helps. Cheers Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Personally, short. Definitely not Euro. Climbed on these as they came with the and they are horrendous. Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. I'd reccommen to try as many knots and different bits of kit until you feel You have nailed it and feel safe and happy Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Can you put a link on mate? Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. I'd have to agree 11mm is the only way forward for LJ or SJ. I had 11mm with my HC and it was epic until I had to change to 13mm...... Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. Change you knot to a knut or distel, much more responsive and reliable knots Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. Have you got any mods for the 540 yet spud? Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Logjam I've heard that you can get the k nut to self tend but unsure on how to make it do that Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. I use 8mm ocean polyester on 13mm with a knut and it works great once you have the knot dialed in right with the fishermens nice and tight. Takes a bit of fiddling but it's well worth it Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. I'd have to agree with CJM I think if the 540 had the same solid feel of the 200 it would be a winner by miles, build quality is the only thing that worries me, saying that I have a bet on that it won't break in 3 months, going well so far Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. Jealousy doesn't look pretty on a girl pal Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. The spark screen came out straight away too but I wouldn't class that as a mod though Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. Anybody given this a bash yet? I'm interested to see if anyone gets any more oomph out of her Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. I've been using a VT for a while now and it is temperamental. I've been told the knut is a good way to go especially with the HC. It's more down to low and slow trial and error. Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. hi Jack, ART positioner it would have to be. I used to have a grillon and realised how rubbish it is! It's fairly pricey but IMO it can't be beaten Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

    Marlow rope

    I've heard it's too thin to run through the zz and yeah after a while it does get to your hands a bit on the first few ascents Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
