How does the factory get the sleeving on the ends of the lines?
Do they just buy some sort of line and remove the inner core or do they get it with no core?
Yup. that's the cheapest way for us at least and I think also for the people at the factory, just because it's so much cheaper to buy normal line in bulk.
Exactly. go to that link and spend $8 for just the sleeves and get about 2-3 feet of cord. For $8 you can buy about 100 feet of cored line with the core in, and all you have to do is go through the bother of taking the core out. I can't remember what I bought last time I got a roll of this, probably 325 tactical paracord.rogue_kiteboarder wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 5:08 pmhttps://kiteboarding.com/proddetail.asp ... it&cat=159
Includes everything you need, except a sewing machine.
I guess I would agree. And I am prepared to take some flak for this, but I spend about 2 hours making a front line set - from making the sleeving and inserting the line, to end splice, to stretching, to truing up for the opposite side splice, to making the opposite side splice, to whiping the sleeving end, then install on the bar.
