Compact Bulldog Bone

Sorry to hear about your BDB, Richard. Those tethers look good. How long are they from the center of the wooden pin to the flat of the D ?

2-5/8 inch.
Is that your design DSMc? Just want to give credit where credit is due.

 

[DSMc]

I guess but I have no care about credit. I think that yours might be longer than mine but that shouldn't matter. They look good!

Running to the post office in an hour, let me know if anyone wants one, easy to put in an envelope.

Got the Cougar from Worthaug and it runs very smoothly on the Bone using the 5/8" bollard with my weight. I like it alot, better than the Tachyon on this third batch Bone I would have to say.
Thanks for sending it to me to test with Reed.

did the same today. Put the 5/8 on cougar blue and I think I found my new favorite

Heavier the line , easier it falls through.

Really a 12 strand and the bone plays well with it?

Yeah, like riding a road bicycle on a cobblestone road. If you want 1/2" try some smooth 24 strand Vortex.

Little too slick in the hands though maybe better after break in Edit: just have to wear sticky gloves ... Had 200 foot of it I ordered for light rigg line ,but its just been in the bag so I gave it a go I really did find it worked well enough for me , good as others I've run bone over. I'm really saving for Yale 16 strand to try next , I believe that will run well too .. I'd like to try vortex ,but I'm a cheap ass now with 4 kids

I tried running it on some buck 16 strand arbmaster......I won't be trying to do it again. Cobblestones with a road bike is an apt association.

Treetopflyer, I'm going to nick name you "rough rider" now...
I have some 12 that I parked with the 16 strand, I'll give it a try.......when I can...

My old well worn Yale XTC runs quite nicely in these third batch bones.

 

[Treetopflyer]

Yeah I'm the type a guy who can ride a unicycle on a mountain cliff so cobblestones on a road bike riding a wheelie would make me smile

New England Hi-vee 1/2" is not a good match with the Bone for me. It flattens very badly and while it holds with my weight, it releases very erratically.

I ran on 16 strand xtc I borrowed and it was great for me . The twelve strand I used is firm stays round and didn't resemble bumpy to me ,but I'm not a sensitive person.
Live the life you love and climb how you want on what you want... isn't life grand that we have choices and can strive for the pursuit of happiness .. Whether it be on a 200$ rope or 100$ rope doesn't make the the climber its what's inside your own core that counts !
