here is my problem i need a new centre rope for it can anyone help with a replacement . thank you

Warranty on a 2011 bar?

Look familiar, you have got to keep the sand out of that area.

Here's 2 ideas I'm trailing!

The one on the left is firm but pliable plastic tube to increase the surface
area in contact with line loop

On the right is old line looped around neat and tight, tied off as a wear surface
Protecting line loop

Used both bars a couple of times but will need more use to evaluate.

Better off buying a new one looking after it, i know I've paid for a couple

Will post results in due course
P.S. line is sewn into the black tubing

Mine was like that... took it to the shop I bought the kite from and I had to buy a new center line. Apparently this is a flaw on Cab bars and it's not replaced under warranty over 1 year old????

Anyone know any better?

In defense of SurfFX - Ian was only too happy to replace the center line while I waited and even gave me a smile for free - awesome service/

Too bad about the sense of humour but hey, not everyone is like me

Seriously, Ian looks after his customers ... I'd recomend a visit.

Jon at surf fx has got one on the way for me agree with ^^^ it cant be over power as the red ball stops it and seriously we have had no overpowered wind for four years . I belive thet the steel triangle it attaches to is to sharp of an angle and yes sand proberly get in it to . I am thinking of making on the lathe a (dont know proper name ) steel ring with sides on it and hole in it that the rope slips on and the whole lot goes on the triangle . Steel on steel is better than rope on steel . That is if there is enough room on the rope loop to fit . My thoughts anyway .
