Replacement Bridge for saddle

[JoeClimber]

Hello everyone,
Has anyone ever used b-line or ice for a bridge on their climbing saddle? Safe or not with direct carabiners or safe at all? Here is the set-up... I have a Glide II and am considering on putting a 10mm B-line or 10mm Ice on it. Other than replacing the current with another factory bridge, can i get some input on using either of the two i mentioned? Thanks for the help.

I put a beeline bridge on my glide with two rings and it seemed to work out well. I made it a little too long though.

I have a Glide also. If you go that way it will only be about half as strong as the factory amsteal bridge.

I use 2 bridges on my glide. One is for srt. I just used a piece of blaze and attached it to the rings with double fishermans. The other bridge is the original one that came with the saddle. I have had no problems with the bulky knots which surprised me. The two bridges keep my Unicender and croll separated and makes everything comfy. I used beeline first and like the blaze better.

Chevy the bridge on the glide is not amsteel.

i've used 5/8" tenex with a tubular webbing jacket and had good results.

I'm a big fan of a tighter weaved bridge and a higher thread count. It seems to stay round under load which makes for easier left to right movement when suspended. Definetly get something with a core. It helps with the flattening

Right now I'm using 10mm kmlll. Wish I could go bigger, like 1/2 kmlll but I kinda rigged my treeflex bridge with rope thimbles and termination knots. The 1/2 line is too big for my saddle

The factory bridge has a amsteal core with a braided cover samson makes it I think that the product is called warp speed.

I just finished putiing 10mm Bline on my TM, see how it works

treeb, just to let you know, chris cowell, one of the treemagineers, isn't too keen on your set up because of the lower breaking strength than the original line has. Not to say that thinking outside the box is bad, but beeline has a much lower breaking strength than the prefered green line.

Just keep an eye on it brother

Well I couldn't find the breaking strenght on the green line but the 10mm says that the ts is 7500 lbs
