When a lull comes through the rope is unloaded so no damage. In the event of a gust the kite powers up and the rope and ring are reloaded so no damage. You haven't thought this through have you ...LetsFlyaKite wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 11:15 pmYou're definitely wrong...iriejohn wrote: Oh come on LetsFlyaKite, anyone can see that when the loaded CL is around the ring there's simply no way that the rope in a loaded condition would be against the side of the ring (including the lettering).
What happens when lul comes through and the wind dies, and then a gust of wind comes and blows the kite in the other direction? Yeah, it's going to scrape the hell out of the rope with that dumb lettering and grove embossed in it.
Of course you wouldn't buy Dynabar products because a) you'd have to read the instructions before you threw them away and b) you'd have to buy some Loctite 243!This makes me not want to buy any kind of Dynabar products ever, because if he's doing something as stupid as making texture in a "No friction" ring then imagine what else he's doing in any other one of his products
And what kind of idiot would ever be so dumb to trust this guy with their life on a plastic thing that is printed from a printer in someone's house???
NOT THE OWNER OF MY EQUIPMENT!!!
Has anyone here printed anything on a FDM printer? Those are the ones you might find "at home". I'd have no problem printing this and using it.randycasburn wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 11:53 pm
2. You can't lump the professionally designed product made from top quality material in with "a printer in someone's house". Pick one. I don't believe people should print KBing parts at home either, but the professional product they are displaying here is not unsafe.
I've been using an Antal low friction ring for a couple of years now. It looks the same as when I bought it. Pretty happy with that rate of wear!
And how would you know? Do you own any dynabar products or are you just saying that? I personally have used dynabar in the past, and it was the worst product I have ever owned. And when the owner of a company tells you to "f*** off" when you come to him with a problem then what do you think the rest of his products are like? And now he wants to push his shitty plastic O-ring that can be made in the privacy of someone's own home on a printer? No thanks, I will gladly inform people of the dangers of this unsafe product, just like you have multiple times in this thread already...randycasburn wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 11:53 pm@LFAK - Now you're being completely unfair on two fronts.
1. The DynaBar has been used successfully for many years now and JayBar has been one of the most responsive companies to customer suggestions. Slandering this person/company in inappropriate when all they are attempting to do is innovate.

Just say "I wouldn't buy this because in my opinion it isn't safe" and be done with it.
For me, the price is just silly and it doesn't meet the needs of my setup. There, see, easy.
When a lul comes through the ring will slack, and yes no damage. When a gust comes through from another direction and quickly jerks the rope in another direction, then yes, there is friction and rope wear. And what if the user wants to go toeside or blind? Forget it, that will be the most friction and rope wear ever.
