Worn Uni

Richard Mumford-yoyoman · Jul 21, 2022

I am looking for a very worn but unmodified or damaged Unicender, one that will undoubtably creep/slide on a 7/16 inch rope.
Willing to trade a brand new SAKA.
In fact I'll just use it for a while for some testing and be happy to return it.

I’ve got one. I’ll grab a pic for you when I get back to the shop.

So, I haven’t used this in months because it had been slipping on me. I threw it on a rope today and couldn’t get it to slip at all. I’m willing to send it to you if you’d like. I’m trying to upload some more photos but treebuzz is being finicky.

Anybody get theirs rebuilt?

Years ago when I talked to a RE rep at EXPO, it was a little over half the cost of a new one and he said "frankly, we'll probably just send you a new one".

Mine hasn't started slipping...

I think when you factor in that most of the parts will be replaced and the labor to do that hand, then the reality that much of the cost associated with something like this is development and liability it is just cheaper for them to replace.
