    Predict the pull

    Obviously I've got some learning, listening, and thinking to do. Thanks for the word.

    Predict the pull

    Maybe I'm thinking of this wrong, but does #4 being 4.33:1 mean that - if all loss is in the pulleys - that those pulley's are 96% efficient!? Holy cow. Before I did all the other calcs, I looked up some typical pulley efficiencies, and was seeing numbers in the 85-95% range.

    Predict the pull

    That's assuming 80% efficiency in each system, not in each pulley sheave.

    Predict the pull

    Edit: indeed there was some seriously stupid stuff going on with these numbers. See later posts for what I believe is the correct analysis. Just doing a little back-of-the-napkin calculation here... If each sheave in the system is 80% efficient, then for a system having 24 sheaves, the...

    Predict the pull

    "How much pull..." in terms of force? Or in terms of distance?

    Predict the pull

    Does this mean you're going to rig up each stage sequentially, record the output force for each stage when applying 50kg (as measured with input load cell), and then multiply all the ratios together to obtain what the actual output would have been if you rigged them all up at the same time and...

    Pulling with Snatch rings vs. X-Rings vs. Blocks

    Anyone tested the knotted version from the videos against spliced ones? I've wanted to muck with soft shackles, but didn't want to be fiddling with splicing. So, the idea in that vid looks pretty attractive.

    Legendary thigh gap? Never considered what climbers with this issue/feature do for saddles.

    SOLD

    Is it just the geometry of things that killed it for you? Or were there certain features that bugged you about these? Just wondering.

    Product Recall DMM Compact Swivel Units

    Does anyone yet know if there were any warnings signs on the run-up to the failure? E.g., the gap between the two halves of the swivel growing larger, etc.? Edit: I guess I know the answer to this already. Unknown, otherwise the users would have removed them from service immediately. I'm...

    Is this dead tree removal plan workable?

    So you formed the choking loop (running bowline) around the stem at ground level, then hoisted it up to near the stub using the thimbles *prior* to tightening it around the stem? I think I get it, possibly.

    Is this dead tree removal plan workable?

    I'm - as per usual - having trouble visualizing the choking configuration. Why could you not use the stub to run your pulling line up and around, add a running bowline, and choke the stem that way?

    That's exactly what post #16 is about :ROFLMAO:

    I did not initially read the title correctly, and did a quick double take :oops::endesacuerdo:

    (y)on the non-e; never will put that alcohol stuff in the tank if I can help it at all. You know what the Madsen's mods are, btw? Standard stuff like porting, timing, de-restricting, etc?
