jtshort42 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 Hello all, I am after some information about making new lines for my Stranger, obviously the ones I have are too long and heavy for lighter winds. Has anyone had any experience of Powerline Extreme and Climax Protec, at 25kg, maybe more, would it be of any use and how does it compare to the SK75 pre stretched Spectra. Is its diameter stretch and memory comparable etc. Thanks in attisipation Jeff. Quote
BigDavey Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 Jeff, 25kg is getting a bit light - I'd tend to use that with an UL, rather than a full-size kite. The Climax Pro-Tec lines are coramid - similar to the spectra/dyneema of other lines - just in a funky orange The lines I would use on the stranger and similar kites would be 15m to 25m and 36kg to 70kg. Works a treat for me - Hope you would get the same mileage. cj-bungatrot 1 Quote
cj-bungatrot Posted March 30, 2004 Report Posted March 30, 2004 I use 150lb (no metric for me) lines on my stranger. Better to be safe than sorry. Quote
