Rainer writes in the german oase forum that an upgrade kit will be available.
Even better! This is good news but I bet after my online review, they won't sell it to me lol. Price you pay for being honest I guess :D
It’s almost free.. Just shipping...
Not for me. They charged more than shipping.

Well destroyed another centerline tube, has Kauper updated it recently? It's getting quite expensive with the shipping they charge me to the states. Would love to find a solution stateside for a replacement.

hello adventure,
take a look at pu tubing for pneumatic tools.what is the internal diameter and external diameter of the tube?
i seen some shinking tubing used in electrical 4:1 ratio and 3:1 ratio leaving a thick cover (1,1-1,5mm ). may this is an option. not really sure if is sticky or not you can find it on aliexpress pretty cheap.
hope it helps!

Hi ,
I have the Pintxo bar, which is close to two years old.
When using the trim/depower it works very poor now, like it barely moves when trying to pull/release the trim system. Like the line are locked inside the bar. Maybe the knots are being deformed, so they don't slide smooth through the hole..

Has anyone tried similar, and knows what it is causing it and what to do. I feel like giving it some grease or wax but also doubt that makes any sense at all..
Any ideas?
Regards, K
