I measured 11.18 meter's front lines
21.57 rear
all correct, and i still say all the parts below the standard thickness lines are brilliant, the engineering aspects and user friendliness of the click engineering is without doubt the best user friendly bar for anyone who like me, loops the kite endlessly throughout a session, (mainly Foil board sailing dictates this kite looping behaviour)iriejohn wrote: ↑Sat Oct 06, 2018 7:55 pmYou've certainly come some way since your post two months ago.
Foil wrote: ↑Fri Aug 03, 2018 8:32 pmthe first generation click bar had issues with line wear from the plastic splitter, needed for high V splits, I was using bandit kites back then.
then when the latest generation click bar came on line with the new thumb screw type splitter and reinforced lines where the splitter engages i quickly swapped over to them.
A few months later I changed out all my kites to Ozone Reos which fly without a V above the depower point.
To really appreciate the advances the click bar has made in the kite bar world, you need to use one for a few sessions, utterly brilliant.
never change a depower line again,
never have to untwist your center lines,
never have to worry about slipping depower adjustment,need to reach up to adjust power, ( one finger -click click depower) (or 2 finger click click power up)
never have to alter you body position while you click away,
massive bar throw if needed, or tiny bar throw like my Reo, just set the throw stopper to your liking and forget about it.
visual aids to inform you of how much depower you have left.
the list goes on, but as I said you need to borrow one to appreciate its qualities and features.
never even mentioned the safety release, but everyone knows it has been the bench mark for many years.
it cost's a bomb.
reassuringly expensive!

So you're paying 3 x $96 + $83 = $371 which with import duties +VAT will cost a good bit more to rectify faulty bars which are still covered by EU 24 month guarantees?
There's a saying about a fool and his money ...Edit wrote:With the USD at about 1.30 you will probably pay duty at 5.8% of about £16 plus VAT at 20% on the lot of about £60 plus $371/1.30 = £360 total.
EU law also stipulates that you must give the consumer a minimum 2-year guarantee (legal guarantee) as a protection against faulty goods, or goods that don't look or work as advertised.

After everything that Duotone put in to their kites and bars to make them one of the top selling brands, they absolutely over look the quality of their lines. One of the worst on the market and has been for a while now. I can't understand why Duotone hasn't fixed this issue because really it's a not a secret that they are crap.
I think it's time and long over due Duotone.

Oh mAn I’ve been whinging about north’s shitty lines for years now. On forums, to retailers , even written letters to north. But fck me they insist on using those asswipe lines that are knackered within a season. Damn I’ve got ozone bars form 2012 still going strong line wise.
Duo tone wake the fck up once and for all, your lines are horrible and have no longevity.
