Re: Kite Attitude aka chicken loop v3
No, but thanks for the heads up. Looks like a nice upgrade. Going to order a couple with the ring length chicken loops, no more cutting things apart. The center hole on v2 was already pretty wide, looks like they go even further, I like that. I guess you're wondering the same thing I am... how well do those bearings hold up. Hope someone can chime in.
Love this company, no frills, no nonsense, appropriately priced products, and always improving.

Re: Kite Attitude aka chicken loop v3
Yes, thanks for the info. Ordered the upgrade spare parts for the V2 QR. I had retro-fitted an older Naish Bar with the V2 QR and the ATB depower. Works well despite the swivel, which is a known issue. Hopefully this solves it.

Re: Kite Attitude aka chicken loop v3
Did you notice a slight throw/trim difference afterwards? And a difference between the safetyline and mainline? Looks like the internals are of a different length than the V2?

Re: Kite Attitude aka chicken loop v3
So far I have only replaced the QR while the lines were rolled up. Need to check the trim, but it is my back up bar, so I was not focussing on it. The swivel is a huge improvement and runs very easily. But let’s wait until it has met salt water and sand...

Unfortunately mine is stuck in customs so haven't had a chance to test it.

Re: Kite Attitude aka chicken loop v3
Yeah it's the swivel from the current one that's really bad. I made it a habit to do backrolls after loops.
