Need help working bugs out of SRT setup!
Okay guys, I'm sorry I haven't posted back sooner but it has rained here ever since I started this thread. Today was the only clear dry day I could test out the gear! Well, I figured out the issue and a few of you were on track. .... THE FRICTION!!! I put very good ball bearing in my pulley...- Daine

Need help working bugs out of SRT setup!
Absolutely! My tether is 12" and my E2E is 30" I was going to run a VT but it just locks up and I won't release until I unweight the rig.. If I slightly weight the rig again it will lock the prusik and I can not descend. I will weight the wrench and show the angles I achieve and see what...- Daine

Thank you!! Thats what I thought also from all the videos I have seen.. Glad I didn't have to feel stupid LMBO! I pressed dual ball bearings and it is probably overly free as the bearing were higher quality and not just a brass bushing... My slick pin pivot I made is made from 303 stainless...- Daine

I could not tell you at this moment.. My son purchased it a little bit back. He did some talking in forums and wound up buying it... We've had it laying around and I got extra time in my shop so I made a rope wrench setup a few pulleys and now I,m actually building my SAKA or knee aceender to...- Daine

Need help working bugs out of SRT setup!
OKAY a REALLY stupid question!! Please remember I did all the research I could and didn't have much to go off of. I did not have a original RW to inspect or rip dimensions from. I basically did math from images taken from the internet. I think I am DAMN close. LOL However can anyone tell me on...- Daine

I was able to upload the photos but I had to swap over to a PC.. The phone just would not let me upload.. I seem to have no issue with PC.. Can anyone take a look at the rig and send me any seasoned advice on what you see?? As you can see in one of the pics that is about as much angle as I...- Daine

I used all dimensions and number from what I could find on retail sites, forum sites etc.. I did not have one in hand to take measurements from.. Most all tethers I found such as Stein claim a E2E length of 12" so thats what I created. I'm sorry the prusik is 30" from GM.- Daine

NICE WORK ALSO! I keep trying to load more photos but it says"oops we've run into a problem". Yeah I missed the mark on my teacher but I'm sure I've got a fix for it. I'm gonna keep trying to load these pics to show the angle of the wrench and relationship of the high to wrench.- Daine

Yeah I caught that after I fabricated the tether. I've seen some with and without. I will add some type of bumper to keep the wrench in more of a engaged position on the line. To me it still doesn't seem like my rendition is putting much drag or tension on the line. It also doesn't seem like...- Daine

Hey guys this is my first post. I hope it's in the correct place! If not mods please move it. My son and I have watched rec tree climbing for a while. After pricing all the gear it made us back off. Well I own a machine shop and started seeing hardware. One that caught our attention was the...- Daine
