take a look at the pics. the clam cleat serial no is == CL253 it wil solve the cleat slipping problem,you will also need to get an new eye for the rope to go through,

ive also modified the self landing atatchment let me know what you think.

Chris - Just remebered the size of gloves u've been using and that's the problem! I know i've had heaps of practice to ensure that the depower rope is gripped by the cleats' teeth with the thumb & pull technique, but for these wintry conditions i think u should defo buy that cleat matey..i can tell u now when one doesn't have to worry about the depower line slipping through the cleat anymore the riding is insane!

Daz - Good pics with a good system! I think a lot of sonic riders will benefit from this..

for those of you that want a bit more detail

the eye bolt has a 12mm id, and is m5 thread.just tighten up with screw driver through the eye and the nut locks quite well in the cleat, the just cut of excess an file, any more steve

you can also put a larger bolt into the webbing on the chicken loop side, a couple of penny washers and jobs a good un.

Nice one daz, Thanks for the info, will give purple marine a ring today.

Cheers mate

Still working on some more Borth Massif logo ideas.

So watch this space!!


chris - 31-1-2006 at 14:18

have ordered the new cleat and a niffty cleat like the ones on my boat neil the one i saw talking about does exist and its on its way

will post a picture when it arrives. if it works it will be the business.
daz i like the saftey line from the front line.

leo i have also found a bearing swivel which i may order.


leonardo - 31-1-2006 at 20:27

Chris let me know how that swivel works when u get it..


carlessd - 13-2-2006 at 15:37

hey chris i missed ya on sat. how did the new cleat go??


chris - 13-2-2006 at 19:08

daz,

the cleat with the swivel was working well, then started slipping. put the other clam cleat on and it works a dream. should be the one that comes with the bar.


carlessd - 13-2-2006 at 19:24

still it was worth a try. other cleat hasn't slipped at all have you got a n eye sorted yet, next time i go to purple marine i can pick one up for u, they are only a couple of quid i think.


leonardo - 13-2-2006 at 22:11

Daz - Could u perhaps get me a swivel? Would help heaps with my riding..


carlessd - 13-2-2006 at 23:01

will look into it dude


steveo - 14-2-2006 at 14:46

Daz, Is the swivel build into the clam cleat, any pixs.

Have some swivel bit's from my old Naish UDS system, which i have strip down, might be able to use these bits, Think i will make a swivel at the top of the depower line, to stop the front lines from twisting, which could affect the re-ride system, if the lines had to many twists in. So if have a play.

See you dudes next weekend, will try and get up this time!!!


carlessd - 14-2-2006 at 15:00
