Does anyone have the lawton rope wrench tether from wesspur???
About a 28 right? Using a nice compact hitch like a distel. Knute h.Yes. Love mine. Have to use a compact hitch with it.
I use 26" - mostly Michoacan.About a 28 right? Using a nice compact hitch like a distel. Knute h.
Alright cool thanks..ive got some 9mm epi and ill try it on my xstatic. 10mm veritas works great on 12.7 vortex.Michoacan/petroacan is the hitch of hitches imo. Tried many, its flawless in comparison and anytime I make a move to improve my system it works even better. 26" 9.3 epi on 11.7s, but just grabbed a 24" hrc which seems to be the pinnacle of performance for a hitch based SRS system. Ideal for the rare MRS climb as well.

And you have me confused about how you said. You thought the lawton was supposed to be more like the chicane. And connect to the hitch climber pulley or what ever pulley your using. Thats what all tethers do.? Im confusedI thought the Lawton tether setup is meant to be more like the Chicane, in that you adjoin the tether to the hitch climber (or whatever pulley you use) with a carabiner, in order to facilitate a quick transition to/from MRS/DdRT (not requiring the system to be more-or-less fully disassembled, as is normally required with the typical setups where the hitch, tending pulley, and saddle connection are all combined into one).
In other words, by the time you add the carabiner in there, it's about the same length as a normal setup, but is much shorter than if one were to do a comparable setup with a 'normal'-length tether.
The Chicane uses a pulley to join the Chicane to the ZigZag, then another carabiner to join the ZigZag to the Saddle.Yeah the setup should be about 5" shorter. The original tethers are i believe 12" . Though there are other heights like 10" 9.5: and maybe 11" other than the lawtons 7.5".
So it should be considerably amount shorter setup. Im a little confused about this the way you worded it or something wether you add a carabiner on a 7.5" or a 12" shouldn't matter. Idk ive only used the at height tether. So i dont know much about it. But the lawton is the most compact tether you can get. I do know that because i tried to have iron street from wesspur make a 6" one. They wouldn't.
I never knew. How does it tend with the biner in there?I thought the Lawton tether setup is meant to be more like the Chicane, in that you adjoin the tether to the hitch climber (or whatever pulley you use) with a carabiner, in order to facilitate a quick transition to/from MRS/DdRT (not requiring the system to be more-or-less fully disassembled, as is normally required with the typical setups where the hitch, tending pulley, and saddle connection are all combined into one).
