Cabrinha Bar Leads 2019 Replacement

Postby CanadianGringo » Wed Mar 30, 2022 5:46 pm

So I have a 2019 cabby bar that is adjustable.
I believe it’s 52-60 Trimlite.
The issue is the lead in the plastic tube was damaged a bit in a kite mare. I want to keep using it but am pretty sure it needs new leads. I know cabrinha doesn’t tell you how to fix this bar but can it be fixed?

Pls see photos of what I mean. I assume I would need to cut a small hole at bottom of bar in the foam to get at the leads. In this case what work I use as replacement leads?

It's not easy, the leaderline attaches to an eye on the end of the width adjustment mechanism. Could only find this picture below. You have to cut open the soft part of the bar end along the seam starting from the top until you reached the eye so you can change the leader line and reglue the rubber outer part afterwards.

Easier would be to remove to PU tube and slide a new one over it unless the rope has been damaged beyond the breaking strenght of the normal back lines. (hard to see on your pictures)
