No longer looking for a Baby Bump for RopeRunner.

[Jeremyr8080]

For releasing the beak I'd try something like what 4srt offers. I made a homemade version from plastic and it works great. It also does not interfere with how the runner was designed to operate/ tend slack.

Any pic??

Here's a thread on the differences. Post #14 explains the differences in production models.

Who wants to talk about the differences in these Rope Runners with me? And some awesome hard to find goodies!

I picked up this other Rope Runner hardly used from our friend @oldfart at a killer deal, thanks again! I've noticed right away several key differences from the one I bought several months ago. Blue Orange Roller bearing pulley? Shallow groove Bushing pulley? Deep groove painted blue...

So looks like I better find some extra springs and a replacement pulley with bearings.
Gonna have some words with the seller about his old gift.

Not on me at the moment, but basically it looks just like the commercially available one. I had some thin plastic stock and heated it to bend the corners.

So you would have to remove your home made device or the 4srt version every time to get the rope in and out of the runner?

 

[dsptech]

Oh. Thought you had time on it. That goldie is the first run CMI did. Those were first gen production. Circa Nov 2014 maybe early 2015 Old memory I got. That is a bit of history.....it looks brand new.....enjoy.

Were the gold ones only produced by CMI and exclusively for Treestuff?

You would if you midline attach. I just feed the rope through the runner.

I never understand why folk take it apart.....so easy to thread.

I don't really understand the discomfort with the bird. The only reason I put the walnut blanks on it is for looks. You should be managing the whole device, not just the bird. Its a whole hand thing. Either that or you soft handed fellas need to work harder LOL

 

[Steve Connally]

Oh BTW I own 2 gold ones One for show, one for go. Second one has never been used. Its my favorite. Unfortunately I wasn't in the club when the dirty 30 came out. I use a bump and a bearing pulley with the go model

Ever have to replace the spring or other parts beside the pulley on you for go one?

Personally I don’t like the bird flap. I like the beak without it better. I climb bare handed and as others have said, it’s a whole hand device just like the akimbo. I have a gold edition at work, it’s a couple years old from my use. I got it new but it had sat in the shop for a while before I got it. Just retired it, never had issues with it. Just run it. You have bought in my opinion the best SRT device on the market, and I have about all of em

 

[dsptech]

Just got the Runner in the mail.
The freaking thing is like brand new.
I don't think it was ever climbed on.
No marks anywhere except for a couple of super tiny scratches in the anodizing.
The friction plate looks factory fresh.
I'll get some pics up later.

Seeing as its that nice I guess I could give you 3/4 of what you payed for it?
Seriously though, enjoy the Runner. Its freakin amazing.

Thanks buddy!
I'm really touched by you offering 3/4 for it as opposed to your standard rate of 50%.
Means allot to me.

Just looking out for you bro. Love to hear your thoughts on your new Runner once you settle in with it. I'm still in the honeymoon stage with mine, but its blownin' my mind every time I thread a rope through it.

Can't wait to try it myself.
Don't own any trees myself but I should be in one next week.

All the roperunner 1.0, save for the ones Kevin made, and one other small batch were made by CMI.
All of the Roperunner 1.0, save for the one Kevin made were made exclusively by/for treestuff.

@bonner1040
Nick do you guys still stock the bearing pulleys and the other replacement parts that still fit the 1.0?

 

[Quintanana]

Better pic. Do not think there are any runners quite like this one. Handcrafted in Detroit . Dirty 30....only 30 made. View attachment 62029
