Im sending my bar to infexion to replace the lines on my 5 line click bar and I don't know what lengths the lines are supposed to be.
Does anyone know the lengths of the lines? Ive thought about measuring them but I don't have any way of doing it accurately. Plus they've stretched pretty bad.
Also what lines should i use for wakestyle twintip riding. As for length i think i was going to go 18m with 4m extensions.
Any help would be appreciated! cheers

Doesn't the guy from infexion know the line lengths? He knows that the lines from north/duotone aren't the best quality, so I think he already replaced a lot of them.

so he's done a lot of 4 line click bars but never the 5 line one, so I thought id just post here to see if anyone knows here. Cant seem to find anything online

If i'm not mistaken it's 20+2 for the 42cm bar. The bigger one is 22+2.

If you are sending it in, taking measurements is no problem. Unless you made spaghetti lines....
I need the exact setup and lengths of the 5fth line. Got only the standard four lined click in my shop until now.

So thats the line lengths from bar to kite. But the length of actual line and not rope is very different. From a guesstimate id say 12m on the front lines and 20m on the steering lines.

confirmed correct data here
For 20m it is:
9.45m front
19.75 back
And 22m:
11.45 front
21.75 back
