Hi all, what's a good generic replacement for the slider rope on a spreader bar? Is something like this any good?
Thanks!

It looks like standard 6 mm Dyneema, so yeah, but why not simply get it at a Sail Supply shop, such as a West Marine? For example;

Use 2 or 3mm and splice it back into itself, so if the "outside" wears through, you don't lose the kite.
