Aah, that explains
So it was worn and needed to be trimmed a considerable amount.
He explained that it was caused by swapping the 1M pully line and the 1.2M pully line.
No way you have enough adjustment in the mixer to fix that. Now that he put them in the right place then all should be OK I guess. But the tips for adding small extensions are useful, and it is good to know about this possible mistake as you might not notice that the two "sparepart" lines can be different.

I know, but the reason for swapping the lines in the first place, must because of a suspicion of wear, right?

Small update: brought the kite to a shop, he immediately saw what the issue was, i made a mistake when i replaced the 2 spare part lines, short and long one lmao. Kite flies good now
thanks for the update! I am pretty sure he got the B pulley line the C pulley line confused and switched them. the B is 120cm and the C is 100cm. The first line to wear out on that kite is the C pulleyline (it gets the most rubbing against the pulley) and he probably replacled both at once and forgot which was which.
Exactly this, thanks everyone for thinking along!!
Hope this thread helps another noob in the future
