i hate bridle wear! mine snapped again yesterday, i think that candle wax idea is good. itl work really well, might try it on the inserts im makn this week at some point

A bridle insert only makes up a small portion of the actual bridle - say 30cm on my 07 waroo. It just means you dont have to replace the whole bridle itself and instead only replace the 30cm of bridle insert in which the bridle runs along... make sense?!

Anyone know of any products to reduce bridle wear?

I guess some line would only cost 5 bucks but i can't find a sail shop

East Victorians: Local sail shop around brighton/stkilda???????

pulleys suck, the day they let you down it will be the most epic conditions and you'll be 5km from a car with no spares in it.[}:)] Keep a spare pulley and bridle bit in your harness, could save you a lot of pain.
I don't know what your setup is like, but to stop bridle wear make sure the pulley is getting pulled 'true', ie: line to a ring (or loop), ring to pulley. Keeps the pulley square to the bridle, don't use pigtails straight onto pulleys, they pull the pulley on an angle to the bridle and chew it up.

Yeah, its called HTFU and ride a C.
