some pics from a re-purposed slingshot guardian for foiling.
kind of a dumb idea since the chicken loop is a heavy one to pick for a carbon bar build, but for foiling i mainly care about swing-weight of the bar. chicken loop is pretty short, giving a great throw with all modern features, and this bar just laying around unused.
* carbon tubes were 20$ on amazon, epoxied into center-piece and bar ends.
* cheapo talon-like replacement for chicken loop, just a pigtail and some PU tube
* added a bit more depower, but could have re-used old line. the throw is big, so depower id say is optional.
* originally had a manual 2-line safety (see pic) but went back to the single line with stopper ball and ring-thing. the ringthing front line seperator is just a part taken from the floats.
* probably will wrap with handlebar tape, its a bit slippery with gloves.
a fun re-use of old components.
